Bhavesh Bhimanathani's Mala Chanting Ritual: A Path to Divine Connection and Inner Peace

In the spiritual path, a mala is more than just a string of beads; it is a sacred tool used by devotees to speak with their chosen deity. Each form of mala contains a distinct energy that resonates with the essence of the chosen god. The devotee enters into a deeper level of connection with the divine by using a mala while chanting specific mantras for the deity.

Various Types of Malas for Various Deities

There are various types of malas associated with the worship of respective deities. For chanting Shiva and Shakta mantras, a person prefers a Rudraksha Mala, as it holds the divine energy of Lord Shiva. In the process of worshipping Lord Vishnu, Shri Krishna, Shri Ram, or Hanuman, it is used in the Tulsi Mala because Tulsi leaves are sacred and pure. Similarly, the Red Coral Mala is used to worship Hanuman Ji and Lakshmi Maa. There is also a specific Red Sandalwood Mala used for Ganesh Bhagwan Ji and specific female deities.

The Importance of Chanting with the Right Mala

The energy of the beads in each mala helps to strengthen the bond between the devotee and the deity. According to belief, when a mantra is chanted 1,25,000 times with a specific mala, it becomes "Siddh"—meaning the connection with the deity is complete and the devotee attains a spiritual awakening. This should ideally be done under the guidance of a guru.

How to Start with Mala Chanting

If you are a beginner and don't know where to start, using a Rudraksha Mala and reciting "Aum" three times a day is a suitable starting place. This easy practice will help lead you and strengthen your spiritual connection.

Mala Chanting as a Path to Inner Peace

When you chant on a mala, you enter a space where time fades, and your mind becomes calm. A profound sensation of serenity and surrender is created when the soul is awakened by the holy energy carried by the vibration of the beads. This practice invites spiritual presence into your life and is more than just a ritual.
