Common questions

How do you use a mala?

Hold the mala in one hand and move one bead at a time with your thumb as you repeat a mantra or breath, starting next to the larger guru bead. When you reach the guru bead, turn around rather than crossing it.

Why does a mala have 108 beads?

108 is a sacred number in Hindu, Buddhist, and yogic traditions, so a full round of the mala completes 108 repetitions.
