White Quartz Bead Mala, Spiritual Japa Rosary Necklace - White

Gemstone Mala Beads - White Quartz - The Mala is a rosary containing 108 beads.It is used for keeping count while reciting, chanting, or mentally repeating a mantra or names of a particular deity, a practice known in Sanskrit as Japa. Imported directly from Ahmedabad, India. Hindu tradition holds that the correct way to use a mala is with the right hand, the thumb flicking one bead to the next, and the mala draped over the middle finger. The index finger represents the ego, the greatest impediment to Self-Realization, so it is considered best avoided (as with the ego) when chanting on a mala. Please note due to the nature of the gemstone, each mala bead's size and length may vary.
