General information about malas:
A mala is a necklace with beads which is used for spiritual purposes respectively for reciting malas. A mala is made of 108 gems or beads. 108 is a divine number in Hindu tradition: The 12 Astrologic Mansions multiplied by the 9 planets makes 108. Each mala has one extra bead which is called Sumeru or Meru which should remind us of the teachers in life.
The mala is traditionally held in the right hand and used in two ways - In one method, the mala is hanging between the thumb and the ring (third) finger. The middle (second) finger is used to rotate the mala by one bead towards oneself with each repetition of the mantra. In the other method, the mala is hanging on the middle finger, with the thumb used to rotate the mala just as explained - one bead at a time. Either way, the index finger is never used to touch the mala.The mala may coil on the floor with the hand resting on the right knee. The practice begins at the summit bead (sumeru) and continues around the loop until the summit is reached again. The summit bead is never passed over. So if you plan to do more than 1 round, the mala is turned around to proceed again in the reverse direction. Repeating malas is a good way to calm the spirit and to deepen ones concentration.
Malas can also be worn as a necklace. This way the energy kept in the malas can be radiated.
