Camphor Wood Long Mala – NEW!

Description

This camphor wood long mala is crafted from the camphor trees native to Southeast Asia. Along with its smooth, light look, our Camphor Wood malas have a lovely, distinctive scent.

In ancient China parents would pray in front of the Camphor Tree (the “Camphor Lady”) for the health and well-being of their children.  The wood symbolizes vitality, health, and purification.

Known as japamala, prayer beads, or Buddhist beads, mala beads originated in ancient India, where practitioners of Buddhism and Hinduism have used them for centuries. The term “Mala” translates to “garland” in Sanskrit, signifying a string of beads used for prayer and meditation. A larger bead, known as the Guru bead, marks the beginning and end of the Mala.

Mala beads can be made from various materials such as wood, seeds, or gemstones, each carrying its own symbolic significance.
