Mala, derived from the Sanskrit word 'mālā,' translates to 'garland,' symbolizing the interconnectedness of each bead in the string, much like the unity of breaths or mantras in meditation.
A mala is a string of beads used in meditation and prayer. Originating from ancient Hindu and Buddhist traditions, the mala serves as a tool to help practitioners count mantras or breaths during meditation. Each bead represents a repetition of a mantra or a cycle of breath, guiding the practitioner into a deeper state of mindfulness and concentration.
