Mala

Renaming a sannyasin symbolizes a profound shedding of the old self, heralding an inner rebirth, while the mala, with its 108 beads representing diverse meditation paths and a single pendant bead signifying the ultimate unity, serves as a poignant reminder of this transformative journey beyond conditioning and division.
