SACRED RUDRAKSHA MALAS HANDMADE WITH LOVE FROM BALI



WHO WE ARE

We envision a world where all beings everywhere are happy, healthy, and at peace. We have a deep desire to live in love, harmony and truth. Ananda Malas was born as a mission of peace – as an opportunity to offer compassion and resources to those in dire need, to share love and spiritual wisdom with all, and to Be the Light in the darkest corners of the world.

As yogis ourselves, we are inspired by the ancient wisdom of the Vedas. Since time immemorial, the enlightened Rishis, divine saints, and great sages have been revealing the various practices and tools that aim to guide humanity towards the ultimate goal of life— Self-Realization.

In these ancient texts of yoga such as the Vedas, Puranas and Upanishads, they all share about the power and significance of Rudraksha Malas— describing these beads as a most powerful tool for health, happiness, protection and liberation.

Having experienced the immense power of Malas for ourselves and our students over the last 8 years, we are now dedicated to sharing the blessing of Rudraksha Malas with spiritual seekers from all walks of life while embodying ethical and sustainable practices, preserving culture and sharing large amounts of our profits to charitable projects that directly improve the lives of those who need it most.

Our hope is to share the healing and transformational energy of these rare and divine beads with one another and that these gifts from God may support us all in abiding in and acting from the One Eternal Love that is our True Nature.

OUR MALAS

We are based in Bali in Indonesia— home to around 70% of the worlds sacred Rudraksha trees. Ananda Malas are hand-made with love from locally sourced Rudraksha tree seeds from our neighbour island of West Java.

Our Malas are authentically created for both medicine or spiritual purposes with the wisdom of ancient yogic design, the healing alchemy of gemstones and auspicious colors and the natural beauty and radiance of Rudraksha itself as our greatest inspirations for these sacred creations.

We hope you enjoy these sacred gifts from God – grown by Mother Nature herself, designed by yogis, hand-made with love by our local Indonesian friends and blessed by our teachers in Vedic ceremony.

SPREADING THE LOVE

As yogis living in the Vedic culture of Bali, our lives are rooted in the practices of Karma Yoga— the path of selfless service, and Yama & Niyama— the ethical and moral codes of Yoga. In this way, the practice of Aparigraha, non-greed, generosity and compassion is our compass of how we navigate through all aspects of life.

We are grateful to donate more than 20% of our profits directly to charity – which is one of the ways we are inspired to give back.

In this way, everyone who purchases a Mala with us not only gets to derive the profound benefits and blessings of a Rudraksha Mala for themselves, but also gets the opportunity to share in alleviating the suffering of others 🙂
