108 Bead Mala
Linking Peace, the Planet Earth and the Mystery of the Cosmos
The number 108 is associated with a wide range of sacred as well as mathematical properties. It is confirmed by astronomers that the diameter of the Sun is 108 times the diameter of the Earth; the distance from the Sun to the Earth is 108 times the diameter of the Sun. The average distance of the Moon from the Earth is 108 times the diameter of the Moon.
My mala has 108 prayer beads and a master bead and was blessed by my guru who transmits perfect peace and stillness to my heart. Many traditions consider the number 108 to be spiritually auspicious.
