A Rudraksha Mala is made with the auspicious number of 36+1 bead. The +1 bead is called the Sumeru and it is not supposed to be crossed while chanting the mantra. You can use your Mala to wear on your body for protection, blessings, good fortune, health & well-being, and for spiritual evolution. Many people wear the Guru bead at the top of the Mala behind the neck to represent the Divine or the Guru as the highest state of Awareness. As well, you can use the Mala as it is traditionally used for meditation and Japa (chanting mantra repetitively).
