Some malas are made in traditional materials such as rudraksha seed, bodhi seed, or yak bone. These materials are typically less expensive and an affordable option. Other malas are made from gemstones. Gemstone malas have several advantages from a physical and spiritual perspective. The mala beads are typically heavier and smoother.

One of them, Sushumna, leads to the crown chakra, and is said to be the path to Self-realization.

After you have completed a full circle of your mala, you will feel the Guru bead.
