Description
If you're not already familiar with malas, they are traditional Buddhist and Hindu objects. Used in meditation, they focus the mind on the recitation of mantras, according to a specific ritual. The beads, unfurled one by one, encourage concentration.
A necklace made up of a number of beads relating to the number 108 (which has many meanings in Buddhist culture), it is traditionally made up of Rudraksha beads. These are actually seeds from a tree that grows in India. The seeds are harvested and carefully preserved for their virtues. They are considered sacred in many Asian cultures and convey a specific energy. The smaller the Rudraksha pearls, the more sacred they are, as they are considered rare and carry great energy.
Rudraksha pearls are sometimes alternated with other precious or semi-precious stones. Each has its own virtues, and their synergy allows you to benefit from all their advantages according to your needs.
In the form of a bracelet, the Silver mala is made up of 42 small Rudraksha beads and hand-crafted silver beads. These separate the rustic beads to give them light.
The Mala Spirit adventure began when Frank, its founder, decided to leave everything behind to go abroad in search of meaning. Before this trip, Frank had already developed a special affection for mala necklaces, some of which he owned. When he returned home and found his sacred malas, something clicked. Mala Spirit was born.
Frank works with Soma Temple, the creator of Aum Rudraksha Designs. Based in Bali, Indonesia, Soma has been encouraged by her spiritual master Papaji in India to create and distribute malas around the world, particularly in the West. According to Papaji, if everyone wears the sacred Rudraksha beads, the world will be a place of peace.
The Rudraksha pearls used by Aum Rudraksha Designs are grown organically and locally on their plantation in Indonesia. The company's activities revolve around eco-responsibility and environmental protection. All their creations are made in a spirit of sharing love and peace around the world.
Traditionally, the mala is a support for prayers in Hindu and Buddhist culture. It can be likened to the rosary or rosary beads of other religions. Mala means "garland" in Sanskrit. It is used to concentrate the mind while reciting the mantras. After each mantra recited, the practitioner advances one bead on the necklace.
Malas always have a number of beads referring to the number 108, as this is a sacred number in the Buddhist tradition. They are made up of round Rudraksha beads and sometimes other precious or semi-precious stone beads (carnelian, lapis lazuli, agate, tiger's eye, turquoise, quartz, citrine, etc.) which have specific properties (calming, courage, rejection of negative energies, serenity, etc.). Mala necklaces end with a pendant ('guru') and a pompom.
Rudraksha pearls are considered sacred in Asia. They are sometimes called 'Shiva's tears'. The smaller they are, the rarer and more precious they are. They come from a tree called Elaeocarpus angustifolius, which grows exclusively in South-East Asia. These seeds are known for their protective and energising properties.
Mala Spirit sees malas as useful for everyone. For yogis and yoginis who want something to help them recite their mantras during meditation. But also for people looking for an organic and ethical piece of jewellery (necklace or bracelet) that will give them energy, peace and love.
As well as providing you with beautiful necklaces and bracelets, Mala Spirit is also a brand committed to social and environmental causes. For every purchase, Frank is committed to donating a portion to charity. What's more, the manufacture of the malas supports the passionate work of the Aum Rudraksha Designs team. Employees are paid what they are worth and the company provides work for an entire village during the high season.
If this sounds like something you'd like to do, we'd like to suggest a ceremony that allows you to transmit your intentions to the pearls, charging them with positive energy. The bracelet can also be worn as soon as you receive it, but we recommend the following steps to increase its benefits tenfold:
- Monday is the day to go for this procedure. It is the day dedicated to Shiva.
- Choose a quiet room or space where you can relax and let go.
- Pour some water and a few fresh flowers into a container. Add your mala Silver bracelet.
- If you wish, light a stick of incense to purify the atmosphere.
- When you feel relaxed, take your mala in your hands and massage each bead one after the other. Think of your intentions for these beads and transmit them through your fingers. Your mala will release a protective energy.
- Recite the mantra "OM HREEM NAMAH SHIVAYA OM". It represents Shiva's tears.
- Your bracelet is now ready to be worn for meditation or in your daily life. The pearls are charged with energy and ready to offer you their virtues.
The pearls in your bracelet will become full of energy. After a while, it's a good idea to discharge them. There are a few steps to reset them:
- Place the mala under running water and touch each bead with the intention of cleaning it.
- Put your bracelet outside to dry.
- When dry, you can rub a little natural oil over each pearl to preserve and polish them.

This bracelet strikes the right balance between Rudraksha beads, which represent the earth and nature, and silver, which transmits light and purity.
The mala Silver goes easily with any piece in our wardrobe, as well as with other silver or stone jewellery. Both men and women will appreciate its design and style.
In lithotherapy, silver is considered a vehicle for self-confidence and charisma. It has been known to develop the power of the gemstones it comes into contact with. So, in the Silver bracelet, the Rudraksha beads will have a calming effect on the mind.
Silver is also linked to the feminine (of which we all have a part, women and men alike) and to the moon. A sign of purity and gentleness, we particularly appreciate these hand-crafted pearls, which add a unique, artisanal touch to the Silver bracelet.
