Genericblack rudraksha cup mala with shiv trishul damru locket

Description

These beads are believed to have spiritual and healing properties and are considered sacred by many Hindus and Buddhists. Rudraksha malas typically have 108 beads, although they can also have 27 or 54 beads. The number 108 is considered a sacred number in Hinduism and Buddhism. The mala usually has a larger bead, called the guru bead, that marks the beginning and end of each round of recitation or meditation. Rudraksha malas can be used for japa, which is the repetition of a mantra or prayer. The practitioner holds the mala and recites the mantra or prayer once for each bead, moving their fingers along the beads as they go. Different types of rudraksha beads are believed to have different spiritual properties, and the number of beads used in a mala can also have significance. For example, a mala with 27 beads is sometimes used for shorter meditations or for specific mantras. Wearing a rudraksha mala is said to provide spiritual and physical benefits, such as increased focus, concentration, and calmness. Rudraksha malas are often used in combination with other spiritual practices, such as yoga and meditation. The care and maintenance of a rudraksha mala is important to keep its spiritual properties intact. It should be kept clean and treated with respect and reverence.
