Q:
If these are old then it means its energy is also contaminated right? How would it get black color? Also, are the total rudraksha beads 108 in number?
A:
Hello Firoz, thank you for reaching out to us! With any old or antique malas, there could very well be some positive energy from the previous mala user, but you could also cleanse your mala before practice would could aid in creating a fresh start! Our customers have suggested a number of different ways to do this, but some examples would be with a singing bowl tone, a mantra of your choice, burning incense etc. I hope this information is helpful! We appreciate your support of Himalayan artisans.
