The mala is made up of 108+1 beads with good healing properties that help the user strengthen concentration, concentrate, and provide relief from anxiety and tension. During “Japa,” “Mala” assists a person in comprehending the meaning of the mantras repeated rather than counting them. Mala should be held in the right hand between the thumb and ring finger just below the eyes when executing "Japa," but not below the navel. Rotating the bead with the thumb and ring finger signifies the completion of one "Mantra." The "Sumeru" serves as a fixed point at the start and finish of the "Mala," indicating the number of times the "Mantra" has been repeated. After completing the "Japa," the "Mala" should be respectfully touched with the eyes and placed in a special bag in the pooja area. “Mala” intended for wear should not be used for “Japa.”
