What is a Jaap Mala?

A jaap mala is a string of beads used for counting mantra repetitions. The word jaap means repeating a mantra. The mala helps you keep count so you can focus on the sound and meaning of the mantra without getting distracted by counting. A standard jaap mala has 108 beads plus one extra bead called the meru. The meru bead marks the start and end of each round. You hold the mala in your right hand and move one bead at a time with your thumb. One full round of all 108 beads is called one mala. Malas are made from different materials. Each material has its own energy and benefits. Tulsi wood, rudraksha seeds, sandalwood, crystal, lotus seeds, and coral are some common materials used for making jaap malas. The tradition of using a mala for chanting is thousands of years old. In Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism, malas are used for meditation and prayer. The number 108 is considered sacred. It represents the universe and the connection between the individual and the divine.
