Ganesha
Ganesha is one of the more popular Indian Gods worshipped in India. Ganesha is the easily recognized elephant headed god- He is the remover of obstacles and lord of success. The elephant head of Ganesha symbolizes the Atman (soul) and his human body Maya (the reality of human existence). Ganesha is also the destroyer of vanity, selfishness and pride.
Amethyst is a beautiful crystal to help in the healing and forgiveness process that is necessary to overcome any emotional obstacles. Rose Quartz being the crystal for self love, outward love, and divine love. All the crystals in this mala help to encomprise the gentle yet strong manner that Ganesh helps us to overcome our own obstacles.

The mala was hand strung by us in New Delhi, India and finished with our signature Ahimsa (cruelty free) silk tassel.
This mala also comes in a Khadi (organic cotton) pouch which is block printed with vegetable dyes and sewn by our friends SEW NEW FUTURES, a NGO that provides skills trainings to underprivileged young women in New Delhi.

A mala was traditionally seen as a sacred object and not shown to anyone.
Today we like to wear and absorb the healing vibrations of the crystals, but remember that this is still a sacred object. Treat your mala like you would treat a photo of your teacher, with care and respect.
Our malas as strung on high-grade wire or knotted on fine cotton thread. Please do not put your mala into water, as this will degrade the wire or the cotton string.
You can wash your tassel (only your tassel!) in a little warm water with some baby (or other soft) shampoo. Gently tease out any tangles with a comb after drying.
Certain crystals will loose colour if placed in direct sunlight. Protect your mala in the cloth pouch provided.
Crystals absorb vibrations and it is a good idea to cleanse your crystals once a month either with smoke from incense or by placing your mala under the rays of the full moon outside or on the windowsill.
