Red Sandalwood Neck Mala, 108 Large Beads

This beautiful string of red sandalwood prayer beads can be worn as a necklace, wrapped around the wrist as a bracelet, or it can be used for japa mantra chanting practice. The beads are joined closely together with traditionally knotted thread, and finished with a flowing red tassel. Red sandalwood is commonly referred to as rosewood, and is a much-prized component of ritual malas, and it is specifically said to aid in relaxation and the reduction of excessive thoughts and nervous energy.

"Complete freedom from the bondage of mind and ego will create a flow of love within. People are bound by the past and the future; that is why it so difficult to find true love in the world. In order to really be able to love, both the past and the future must dissolve and disappear."--Amma
