JAPAMALAS WITH NATURAL STONES

The Mala is a rosary that contains 108 beads. It is used for chanting and reciting at the same time or mentally repeating the name of a deity, a practice known in Sanskrit as JAPA. Hindu tradition holds that the correct way to use a mala is with the right hand, with the thumb pushing the ball to the next, and with the mala covering more than half a finger. The index finger represents the ego, the greatest impediment to self-realization, so it is considered best to avoid it (as happens with the ego) when singing with a mala.

Mystical Bead necklaces are said to have many magical properties. The Yogis and mystics said that these beads acted by giving better blood circulation, better functioning of the heart and illumination of consciousness.
