Rudraksha (Elaeocarpus ganitrus) is the divine gift of Lord Shiva for the benefit of humanity. Rudraksha means "Tears of Rudra" (Shiva); they are the most sacred objects with mystical powers.

For thousands of years, people have used pearls for spiritual, material, and medicinal benefits.

It is believed that the one who wears Rudraksha is spared from sins, and is protected from all negativity.

The natural electromagnetic properties of holy Rudraksha beads have been found to improve focus, concentration, and mental stamina. According to Ayurvedic scriptures, wearing Rudraksha can have positive effects on the heart and nerves, and is good for relieving a person of stress, depression, anxiety, palpitations, and high blood pressure.

For the spiritual seeker this is a blessing in disguise, as the wearer of Rudraksha is able to achieve his goals faster; also the effects of rituals will be ten times more effective.

A mala is originally a Hindu and Buddhist tool for prayer and meditation. It is used to count mantras during meditation. A mantra is a collection of words, often in Sanskrit, that is repeated multiple times—traditionally 108 times.

By repeating, you focus on the meaning and vibration of the words, possibly combined with accompanying visualization. By engaging in a meditation practice like this, your thoughts rest and your body relaxes. These days, a mala is also worn as a fashion accessory.

Why 108? Malas have 108 beads because this number has great scientific significance in Hindu and Buddhist traditions.

The circumference of the sun multiplied by 108 is the distance between the sun and the Earth, and the same is true for the moon and the Earth. In addition, there are 108 nadis, or energy channels, in the body. There are 54 Sanskrit letters, both masculine and feminine, for a total of 108.

There are 108 Puranas and 108 Upanishads.

The list goes on and on!! This same sacred number is therefore used in malas.

It is advisable to store the Mala in a Mala bag, for protection against disturbing influences.
