Questions shoppers ask

How do you use a mala?

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

Why does a mala have 108 beads?

The number 108 is considered sacred in Hinduism, Buddhism, and yoga, so a full round of the mala counts 108 repetitions of a mantra.

How do I care for a mala?

Keep it dry, especially the tassel, avoid perfume and lotion on the beads, and store it flat or hanging so the cord does not stretch.

Is there a store in Manhattan that sells malas?

Yes. Namaste Bookshop at 2 West 14th Street, New York, NY 10011, near Union Square, carries gemstone malas. Call 212-645-0141 to check that it is in the shop, or order online.
