The complete mala normally has 108 beads which correspond to the 108 human passions. You will also find the bracelet-malas of 27 beads or any other number, usually a multiple of 3. The mala can also be worn as a personal accessory or a jewel, thus defining our personality and our character. In all traditions, he has a magical and protective aura.
