Traditionally a mala has 108 beads strung together and one “guru bead,” which is larger than the rest. The guru bead is used as a place marker for the fingers to feel for the end or the beginning of the necklace for meditation or mantra chanting. For centuries, malas were used in Buddhism and Hinduism for keeping count while reciting, chanting and mentally repeating a mantra or the name of a deity during prayer and meditation.
