Contact SupplierA Japa mala or mala is a set of beads commonly used by Hindus and Buddhists to chant mantras or repeating names of deities. This process of chanting mantras or deities name is called as japa. Malas are made mostly of 108 beads. The practice of chanting a mantra is used as a form of meditation. Sitting in a comfortable position, with the eyes closed, the mantra is repeated silently or aloud. The mind is focused on the mantra, the thoughts are let go of and the breath is slow and deep. To empower the Japa Mala and the mantra used, japa (mantra meditation) should be practiced each day for 40 continuous days. When japa mala becomes empowered it can be worn or lightly placed on oneself or others to transmit the energy of the mantra as well as the energetic qualities of the mala. When you use a new mantra with japa mala, this energy becomes replaced, so it is recommended to use a new japa mala with each mantra if possible. When not in use, store your Japa Mala in a special, clean and preferably sacred space. The best place to store a mala is on a personal alter or statue of a deity. |
