Amethyst necklace - Mala 108

Amethyst necklace - Mala 108

A mala is a string of beads traditionally used to aid concentration during meditation, prayer, or other spiritual practice . Mala beads are believed to have originated from the Hindu religion in India thousands of years ago.

Why do malas have 108 beads? Why 108 repetitions? There are hundreds of answers to this question. The number 108 has seemingly endless meanings in various philosophical, scientific, and religious teachings. Some of the most interesting are:

Sanskrit alphabet: There are 54 letters in the Sanskrit alphabet. Each of them has a masculine and feminine gender, Shiva and Shakti. So 54 multiplied by 2 gives 108.

Heart Chakra: Chakras are intersections of energy lines, and it is said that there are a total of 108 energy lines that converge at the heart chakra. One of these, the sushumna, leads to the crown chakra and is believed to be the path to self-realization.
Sun and Earth: The diameter of the Sun is 108 times the diameter of the Earth. The distance from the Sun to the Earth is 108 times the diameter of the Sun.

At the bottom of the mala is the 109th bead , called the sumeru, bindu, stupa, or guru bead. It often symbolizes the guru from whom the disciple received the mala or mantra, thus paying homage to the disciple-guru bond. It is never counted in the repetitions, but is used to mark the beginning and end of the cycle.
