Mala Skull
Mala or Japamala with 108 white Skull beads. They are made of water Buffalo bond. Hand carved.
Water Buffalo is a main staple in Nepal and Tibet and when an animal is used for food nothing is wasted.
The number 108 refers to spiritual completion. That’s the reason why malas used for Japa (silent repetition of a mantra) are composed of 108 beads, which when reached, prompts the practitioner to count the mala beads in reverse order.
The number 108 has long been considered a sacred number in Hinduism and Yoga, number of the wholeness of existence. This number also connects the Sun, Moon, and Earth. The average distance of the Sun, Moon, and Earth is 108 times their respective diameters.
According to Ayurveda, we have 108 marma points ( vital points of life forces), in our body. This is why all mantras are chanted 108 times because each chant represents a journey from our material self towards our highest spiritual self. Each chant is believed to bring you 1 unit closer to our God within.
