A Japa Mala, often referred to simply as a Mala, is a string of prayer beads commonly used in Hinduism, Buddhism, and other spiritual practices. The word "Japa" comes from the Sanskrit word "jap," which means "to repeat" or "to recite." A Mala is a tool for meditation, chanting, and counting mantras.
Typically, a traditional Japa Mala consists of 108 beads, although there are variations with 27, 54, or 216 beads as well. Each bead represents one repetition of a mantra or a sacred word during meditation. The number 108 holds significant spiritual and cosmic symbolism in many ancient cultures and traditions.
