Each crystal bead in this mala has metaphysical therapeutic qualities that benefit the wearer.

This Mala was hand strung by Maha Mala in New Delhi, India in cotton thread with an adjustable Chinese knot. It comes in a Khadi (organic cotton) pouch which is block printed with vegetable dyes and sewn by our friends SEWING NEW FUTURES, an NGO that provides skills training to underprivileged young women in New Delhi.

By buying this product, you support local artisans all around India; support fair trade and believe in non-violence and compassion.

A mala was traditionally seen as a sacred object and not shown to anyone. Today we like to wear and absorb the healing vibrations of the crystals, but remember that this is still a sacred object. Treat your mala like you would treat a photo of your teacher, with care and respect.

Maha Malas are hand knotted on 100% quality thread. Please do not put your mala in water as it will weaken the thread and may cause it to break.

Certain crystals will loose colour if placed in direct sunlight. Protect your mala in the cloth pouch provided.

Crystals absorb vibrations and it is a good idea to cleanse them once a month either with smoke from incense or by placing your mala under the rays of the full moon outside or on the windowsill.
