Pure Sandalwood Mala — 108 Beads

A traditional chandan mala (white sandalwood japa mala) of 108 beads, hand-strung from pure, lab-tested sandalwood with a guru bead. The wood's gentle aroma warms with the touch of your hands — a lifelong companion for daily practice.

Spiritual use — japa, mantra & pooja

• Japa and mantra recitation — one bead per repetition, 108 in a full round
• Meditation — the natural sandalwood scent steadies and grounds the mind
• Worn during pooja as a sacred necklace or wrapped as a bracelet

Wellness & tradition

• Sandalwood's aroma is traditionally calming — used for centuries to settle the mind before sleep and sadhana
• The beads are believed in tradition to have a cooling effect against the skin

Why ours is genuine

• Beads turned from real, lab-tested white sandalwood — natural grain and aroma, never coated or perfumed
• Traditional 108 + 1 guru bead configuration, hand-strung with a secure knot

Which bead size to choose

6 mm — lightest, suits smaller hands and wearing as a necklace. 8 mm — the classic all-round choice for daily japa. 10 mm — fuller grip and stronger fragrance. 12 mm — largest beads, substantial in the hand, ideal for seated meditation.

Care

Keep away from water and perfume. Occasionally rub the beads between your palms — natural oils revive the fragrance.
