Lotus Seed Mala

Easy to chant mantras and easy to wear on this stretch of cord.

108 Bead Mala:  Malas are ancient meditation tools created thousands of years ago by Saints, Sages, and Rishis.  They are used to recite mantras that quiet and focus the mind. As we become calm and centered, we naturally radiate peace and calm to those around us.  Traditionally, malas consist of 108 beads and a Guru bead at the very end by the tassel.  The number 108 has special significance in geometry and is regarded as sacred in many religious traditions throughout history. The Guru bead contains the spiritual energy of all the mantras.

Lotus: The bud of the lotus symbolizes potential, specifically of a spiritual nature. Because the lotus rises from unclean water to blossom as a pure, uncontaminated flower, it is a symbol of purity and resurrection. In the same way, the lotus flower goes through much in its growth before emerging from the dirty water to become a beautiful flower, the individual consciousness does the same on its path to enlightenment as the so-called impurities of unenlightened thinking gradually fade.
