This little mala is made to be worn on the wrist. It is 27 sunny yellow beads of 6mm calcite, a stone for boosting energy levels, bringing joy, and deepening intuitive awareness. The guru bead is a 10mm rudraksha bead nestled between two openwork bead caps and accompanied by a tierracast copper Sanskrit Om. It is strung on stretch cord to fit most wrists.
Christina recommends the Gayatri Mantra for this sun-inspired mala:
AUM BHOOR BHUWAH SWAHA,
TAT SAVITUR VARENYAM
BHARGO DEVASAYA DHEEMAHI
DHIYO YO NAHA PRACHODAYAT.
Summary of the Gayatri Mantra
Gayatri Mantra (the mother of the vedas), the foremost mantra in hinduism and hindu beliefs, inspires wisdom. Its meaning is that "May the Almighty God illuminate our intellect to lead us along the righteous path". The mantra is also a prayer to the "giver of light and life" - the sun (savitur).
Oh God! Thou art the Giver of Life,
Remover of pain and sorrow,
The Bestower of happiness,
Oh! Creator of the Universe,
May we receive thy supreme sin-destroying light,
May Thou guide our intellect in the right direction.
