More than beads—tools for meditation, intention, and self-discovery

THE 108 MALA

At Mala for Vets, our malas are crafted with purpose, tradition, and a commitment to supporting the warrior spirit. Rooted in the ancient Indian practice of Japa, each mala traditionally holds 108 beads—a number rich in Hindu, Buddhist, and yogic symbolism. This number reflects 108 stages to enlightenment, 108 afflictions (kleshas) to overcome, and holds cosmic significance, with Vedic mathematics suggesting the Sun’s diameter is 108 times that of Earth’s. Japanese New Year’s rituals honor this number by ringing a bell 108 times, symbolizing purification and renewal.

The number 108 also holds profound meaning in spiritual traditions: there are 108 sacred Upanishads, 108 names for the goddess, and 108 energy lines converging at the heart chakra. Malas serve as tools of connection for warriors, grounding and protecting while empowering them to overcome challenges. We offer malas in various styles, including traditional 108-bead necklaces and shorter malas for accessible practice. Each piece uses carefully chosen gemstones aligned with specific healing properties, amplifying the power of intention and supporting meditation, reflection, and daily mindfulness.

We offer malas in varied styles, from the traditional 108-bead meditation necklaces to shorter, count-specific malas for on-the-go practice. Our SEVA collection includes malas designed for meditation and intentional living, as well as wrist malas for those looking to carry their intentions daily. Each piece is handcrafted from gemstones that align with specific goals and healing properties, amplifying the power of your intentions and serving as a tool to ground, refocus, and balance energies.

For warriors, a MalaforVets mala offers a reminder of resilience, each bead representing a step toward peace and healing. Beyond personal support, every purchase contributes to our mission of service, with proceeds supporting transformative non-profits. Embrace your warrior spirit with a MalaforVets mala, connecting purpose with the profound legacy of 108.
