The prayer beads mala includes Bodhi chitta Mala, 5 mukhi rudraksha Mala, Tulsi Mala, 108 Beads with Jap mala, mala Bag, Gomukhi, rose wood mala, lotus beads mala, sandalwood beads mala and other gems beads mala etc.

Prayer malas have long been part of everyday spiritual life, quietly supporting meditation, reflection, and mindful living. In both Buddhist and Hindu traditions, a prayer mala is not treated as decoration, but as a practical tool something meant to be held, used, and slowly shaped by personal practice.

A traditional prayer mala is usually made with 108 beads, a number that holds deep meaning in Himalayan spiritual culture. As the beads move gently through the fingers, they help guide mantra recitation, breathing awareness, or moments of silent focus. Over time, the rhythm of using a mala becomes familiar, almost instinctive, encouraging calm attention rather than effort.

Normally to use your mala, start with the first bead next to the “guru” bead. A string of prayer beads used to count repetitions in Buddhist practices. Normally, hold the bead between the index finger and thumb.
