For centuries, different religious sects have used prayer beads as a means of meditation and prayer. From Hinduism to Catholicism to Islam, the importance of prayer beads has been demonstrated and thus widely adopted. One such example of prayer beads is the Mala beads.

Mala Beads Also known as Japa Mala, Mala beads are prayer beads commonly used in Indian religions such as Buddhism, Hinduism, Sikhism, and Jainism.

Similar to most prayer beads, Mala beads are used for prayer and meditation. By moving your fingers over the beads, you can count the number of times you have chanted the prayer mantra.

Additionally, this repetitive process keeps you grounded in prayer or meditation, as it helps focus your mind limiting the possibility of your mind wandering. In essence, Mala beads are designed to help you focus on your meditation.
