About Japa Malas जपमाला
A Japa Mala, or simply mala (Sanskrit: ाला; mālā), refers to a string of beads, popular in India and Buddhist countries, used to keep count while reciting, chanting, or mentally repeating mantras or the name(s) of a particular deity. In both India and Asia, the recitation of mantras is a very popular practice. As sacred utterances, mantras can be repeated silently or chanted for various reasons and purposes. Predominantly used by Hindus, Buddhists, and Sikhs as aids to meditation and devotion, mantras are sound vibrations that instill concentration in the devotee and facilitate spiritual growth.
The devotional practice of Japa Mala resembles the Catholic use of the rosary. Both strings of beads help their respective religious believers to keep track of the number of times the prayer/mantra has been recited.
The Sanskrit word japa is derived from the root Jap-, which means "to pronounce softly, to repeat internally, to murmur".
A wide variety of materials are used to make mala beads. In Hinduism, Vaishnavas generally use Tulsi Japamala beads. Shaivites use Rudraksha beads. Aghori practitioners typically use fragments of human skull for their malas.
Some Tibetan Buddhist traditions call for the use of bone (animal, most commonly yak) or sometimes human, with the bones of deceased Lamas being the most valuable. Others use wood or seeds from the Bodhi tree or Lotus plant. Semi-precious stones, such as Cornelian e AmethystThey can also be used. The most common and least expensive material is sandalwood. In Hindu Tantra, as well as in Buddhist Tantra or Vajrayana, the materials and colors of the beads may relate to a specific practice.
There are various pieces, and they all vary in color, size, and texture because they are natural crystals, unique in their essence.
