Diameter of rudraksha beads is approximately 5-7mm, real rock crystal is uncut
Chotkas are made of natural rudraksha beads (colored ocher) and rock crystal beads.
We remind you that these Malas are made of Rudraksha, which grew naturally and it is almost impossible to find absolutely smooth identical beads (without any flaw). In addition, the price of 2 hryvnias for 1 bead is not exclusive... There are certified beads - they are perfect (almost).
Even if a person has only one RUDRAKSHIA seed, he raises his twenty-first generation, goes to heaven and is honored there. (Verse 30-36, Chapter 5, Book 7 of Rudraksha Rosary of Maha Purana Srimad Devi Bhagavatam).
Rudraksha is the seed of a special, now very rare ELAECARPUS tree that grows in some high mountain valleys of the Himalayas in India and Nepal and on some Indonesian islands.
Long and short strings of beads, tied in a ring with a long knot with brushes, in the benches near the temples are by no means an ornament. These are malas, Buddhist brushes.
WHAT IS A MALA
Malas have been known since the 3rd century and are used in both Buddhism and Hinduism. Mala is used to count mantras, performed rituals and bows. Sorting through the beads, the reader of mantras immerses himself in the realization of the meaning, without being distracted by counting. He chanted the mantra and moved on to the next bead.
NUMBER OF BEADS
Classic mala consists of 108 beads, which is the product of the canonical numbers of Buddhism: 6x3x2x3. There are also shorter brushes of 54, 36, 27, 18 grains. The number of beads always refers to certain provisions of the Teaching: for example, "18" symbolizes the 18 arhat disciples of the Buddha.
MATERIAL FOR BEADS AND THREAD
Buddhist brushes are generally made of wood. Sandalwood or bodhi tree are most valued. Juniper brushes are credited with the ability to scare away evil spirits and eliminate harmful influences. Beads made of black coral are used for mystical practices, malas made of pearls and rock crystal bring comfort and eliminate diseases, made of amber - increase life expectancy. Beads are strung on a silk thread, and sometimes - human hair.
MAIN JEWELRY
Mala is often given as a birthday, wedding or holiday gift. Small bracelets are worn as a bracelet, long ones, made of 108 beads, sometimes as a necklace (mostly monks). K mala should be treated with care. If the damaged beads on the brushes cannot be repaired, then the small ones are taken to the temple and left as an offering. Mala serves as an integral attribute of some deities, in particular, Avalokiteshvara, the bodhisattva of compassion. Often he is depicted with a lotus and brushes in his hand, which expresses his desire to help believers overcome 108 passions and achieve enlightenment.
