He was an advocate, some say the creator, of Advaita Vedanta- the Non-Dual form of the ancient philosophy of Vedanta that spread in India during the Upanishadic period.

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.
