This mala is outsourced from Nepal and personally hand-strung by me. It includes naturally stained buffalo bone beads. These beautifully hand-carved skull beads are reminiscent of the necklace of skulls that the Goddess Kali wears symbolizing liberation, knowledge, and wisdom. Bone is a traditional material used in malas in both Nepal and Tibet. Bone signifies strength and is said to amplify prana (life force energy.)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nMEANING OF THE MALA :\u003cbr\u003e\nThis mala serves as a powerful reminder to be here now and to live in the present moment; because nothing is permanent, everything is possible. My Buddhist practice revolves around impermanence. We live only in the present moment and it is helpful to remember that nothing lasts. Skulls are featured prominently in Tibetan symbolism and many of our customers are fond of this reminder that nothing lasts forever.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nMEASUREMENT :\u003cbr\u003e\nApproximate Circumference: \u003cbr\u003e\n6.5 -  7.25″\u003cbr\u003e\nBead Size: 15mm\u003cbr\u003e\nSkull Bead - 22mm\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nSUGGESTED MANTRAS FOR THIS MALA THIS MALA:\u003cbr\u003e\nOm Sri Maha Kalikayai Namah\u003cbr\u003e\nOm Kali Ma\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nINTENTIONS FOR THIS MALA: \u003cbr\u003e\nImpermanence\/Energy \/ Vitality\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIn the Himalayas, it is typical for large animals such as yak or water buffalo to be used for service, food, clothing, and ritual items. Given the limited amount of resources and the religious practices of the people in the region, it is important that none of the animals goes to waste. These amazing bone beads are handcrafted by artisans who recycle and reuse everything in daily life and spiritual practice.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nMALA BEADS INFO:\u003cbr\u003e\nOur Bone Mantra Full Mala is individually handcrafted using high-quality natural materials.
