Handmade Sandalwood Japa Mala – 108 Beads

Handmade Sandalwood Japa Mala – 108 Beads

Immerse yourself in the sacred tradition of japa with this handcrafted sandalwood mala, made from 100% natural aromatic wood sourced from the sacred trees of southern India. Each of the 108 round beads is gently hand-carved from the outer layer of sandalwood, known for its calming fragrance and spiritual resonance. The mala is carefully knotted between each bead, allowing for ease of use during meditation and mantra repetition.

At the heart of this mala lies the sumeru bead, left untouched to preserve its purity. It serves as a spiritual anchor, marking the beginning and end of each japa cycle. The mala is traditionally blessed by a spiritual master, imbuing it with divine energy and intention.

Crafted by skilled Indian artisans, this mala honors centuries-old traditions. It is associated with Lord Ganesh, the remover of obstacles, and is accompanied by the powerful mantra:
“Om Gam Ganapataye Namah”

To preserve its sacred energy:

• Keep the mala in its transparent protective bag when not in use.
• Avoid letting others touch the beads.
• Use only in a clean, meditative space.
