Lotus Mala from Penukonda

The handcrafted Mala, made of 108 lotus beads, is blessed and charged at Sri Kaleshwar's samadhi in Penukonda, India.

A Mala is a necklace of beads used for spiritual practices (for example, the recitation of Mantras). Traditionally, Malas are held between thumb and middle finger as the Mantra is repeated (silently or out loud) over every bead. Begin on the Guru Bead and move forward until you reach it again. , The Mala can also be worn around the neck so it can radiate its energy through Mantra-meditation. , More information on the use of Malas can be found in the book ,Gifts of Shirdi Sai Baba.

Lotus beads are the seeds of lotus blossoms. They can store an extremely high amount of Mantra-energy. Sri Kaleshwar highly recommends the use of a Lotus-Mala followed by Rudraksha and rosewood.
