This captivating rouge Mala is created from Pterocarpus Santalinus, a species of tree grown in southern India.

For millennia it has been valued for its:

1) rich red color, a color of luck in both Indian and Chinese cultures. 

2) Its uniquely calming scent.

3) Its anti-inflammatory and medicinal benefits.

It is for these reasons that we decided to use this wood to create this special Mala. 

In Tibetan Buddhism, the 108 bead Mala is believed to be powerful in bringing positive forces of self realization & contentment through the recitation of magnetizing mantras. 

But we like to use them to help remember to stay mindful, compassionate and grateful. We also find them perfect for reducing stress by rolling them between the fingers or for inducing calm by counting the beads. 

We greatly hope that you will enjoy our new Red Sandalwood Mala.
