Description
The Tiger Stripe Aloeswood Mala is a beautiful warm striped mala. Tiger Stripe is a common variety of Aloeswood with a subtle fragrance that is caused when a fungus causes a resin to form in the heartwood. Aloeswood is believed to calm the body, reduce fear and help invoke a feeling of strength and harmony.
Mala beads, also known as japamala, prayer beads, or Buddhist 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.
Craftspeople make mala beads from various materials such as wood, seeds, or gemstones, with each carrying its own symbolic significance.
