Japa Mala Rudraksha Seeds

The Japa Mala is an instrument used in the sacred Buddhist tradition to keep count of mantras or "words of power". The Japa Mala has 108 round beads, which when put together form a circle.

The origin of the Japa Mala is located in ancient India and the first references to this meditation necklace are located about 6000 years ago; its etymology is derived from the Sanskrit Japa, which means murmuring prayers and mala, which translates as garland.

Mantras are a common practice in Buddhism, which induce states of consciousness conducive to meditation and for this practice the Japa Mala is used.

The objective of meditating with a Japa Mala is to focus the mind on an object, with the intention of avoiding the dispersions caused by the environment around us.

Avoiding distractions and achieving a serene and undisturbed concentration is of great significance, since this is the only way to obtain the benefits offered by this practice; therefore, it is essential to develop this discipline.

In Sacred Buddhism, mindful meditation becomes the path followed by the Buddhas (enlightened ones) of all times.

The Japa Mala is a useful and millenary tool to achieve the development of this ability and to get our inner being in tune with the noble innate qualities of our true identity.

The Rudraksha Tree Seed occupies a very special place in Hinduism and is attributed with mystical and divine properties.

Jewelry made of Rudraksha beads is considered auspicious and powerful, and is supposed to have profound astrological and health benefits.

It is believed that one who wears Rudraksha is untouched by sins and is protected from all ungodly actions or thoughts.

It is an important meditation tool to enhance spiritual practice, as it reminds you to repeat the mantra, thus reinforcing the mind-body attunement.
