Dark Bodhi Seed Mala

|

$218.00

A best-seller since 1999! This authentic, traditional mala features 108 Bodhi Seed beads strung on heavy cotton cord.
The larger size of these beads are very satisfying for counting. When not in use, it can be wrapped 3-5 times loosely around most wrists.
Simply strung and finished with a guru bead and black tied ends. Handmade in Kathmandu, Nepal in the shadow of Boudhanath Stupa.

Bodhi Seed beads can be used for counting all types of mantras, prayers, and spiritual reminders.These dark-speckled seed beads have special meaning for all seekers of divine wisdom. It was under the Bodhi tree that Buddha attained enlightenment, which is why "Bodhi" in Sanskrit translates to enlightenment; as in "enlightened" seed. Practitioners use these malas for their essence and inherent teachings within each seed.

Also included in our Dark Bodhi Seed Mala & Bracelet Set!

Size:

Mala measures about 42 inches around. Beads are approximately 12-14mm.

This is a quality Mala. Very well made, adjustable to tighten or loosen the beads. I highly recommend it. The Bodi beads are beautiful and the perfect size. Loved it so much that I purchased the wrist Mala also. It just feels right in the hands.

Hello David, thanks for your inquiry. The Dark Bodhi Seed Mala includes a natural fiber cord, so it does not expand like a stretchy or elastic cord. I hope this information is helpful! We appreciate your support of Himalayan artisans.

Veronika W. 04/29/2021

Hello, I'm very allergic to smells. Do Bodhi seed malas have have a scent or fragrance? I can't use sandalwood for this reason. Many thanks, Veronika

Answers (1)

Dharma S. 04/29/2021

Hello Veronika, thanks so much for reaching out to us! Bodhi beads do not have a strong fragrance like sandalwood, but overall natural materials like this seed will have a slight scent because of their natural nature. I would suggest trying a gemstone mala for those materials are not usually as porous and won't hold that natural seed-like aroma. I hope this information is helpful! We appreciate your inquiry and support!
