Short Description:
Mala beads are a special rosary used for counting recitations of mantras. Typically they come in a necklace form with either 108 or 54 beads. (Twice around a set of 54 beads equals a count of 108.)
The best mala beads are composed of both rudraksha beads and crystal beads. Rudraksha beads are symbolic of Lord Siva, and crystal beads are symbolic of the Goddess. Lord Siva gives spiritual evolution, and the Goddess gives material possessions.
When you use mala beads of this type, you are strengthening the balance between spirituality and materiality in your life.
Siva Baba has custom-designed mala beads, called Siva-Shakti mala beads, which will use both these materials to give you the very best results in chanting mantras.
