The beads are so present, so warm – sometimes I don't even need to explain anything. The mala speaks for itself.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eLarge Rudraksha Mala – 108 Beads (⌀ 9 mm)\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis mala consists of 108 genuine Rudraksha seeds, each with a diameter of 9 mm and a total weight of approximately 40 grams. With this size, it is the most powerful of the three variants – each individual bead feels heavy and warm in the hand, and the natural \u003cem\u003emukhi\u003c\/em\u003e grooves are clearly palpable and visible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSmall golden metal beads are placed between the Rudraksha seeds, giving the strand structure and creating a clear rhythm during meditation. The orange silk tassel on the Guru bead completes the circle – luminous, warm, unmistakable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is Rudraksha?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRudraksha are the dried kernels of the fruits of the Elaeocarpus tree, which is native primarily to Nepal, India, and Tibet. Each seed is unique – the shape, depth of the grooves, and surface vary from bead to bead. This is particularly evident in this large variant: no two beads are alike, and that's precisely what makes this mala so vibrant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMeaning \u0026amp; Tradition\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn Tibet and throughout the Himalayan region, the mala is as much a part of daily life as morning prayer itself. 108 is a sacred number – it represents the 108 worldly desires in Buddhism, but also the completeness of the circle that always closes again. With each bead, you speak a mantra, a wish, a breath.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA large, heavy mala has something special about it: it grounds you. The weight in your hand reminds you that you are here – now, in this moment. I sometimes wear a large mala myself, not for prayer, but simply because it keeps me calm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCare \u0026amp; Use\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eRudraksha seeds prefer to be dry – avoid moisture and soap, never immerse them in water.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eOccasionally rub with a drop of coconut or sesame oil to prevent the wood from drying out and to keep the surface beautiful.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eStore the mala in its brocade pouch when not in use – this protects it and preserves its energy.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eFor meditation: hold the mala in your right hand, with your thumb and middle finger guiding the beads – traditionally, the index finger is not used.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Pouch – a Small Gesture from Us\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEach mala comes in an elegant silk brocade pouch, which I personally select to match – sometimes in vibrant red with a gold pattern, sometimes in deep blue. This way, the mala is beautifully packaged right away, whether it's meant as a gift – or simply because beautiful things deserve beautiful wrapping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr class=\"hv-divider\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCome by Kramgasse 63 in Bern – I'd be happy to show you how this mala feels in your hand.
