The Shiv Mala usually contains <strong>108 beads<\/strong>, which is a very important number in Hinduism and spiritual practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each bead represents a repetition of a mantra or prayer. Chanting with the mala helps keep the mind focused and calm.

It is believed that there are 108 energy points in the human body that connect to the heart. Others believe that chanting a mantra 108 times helps purify the mind and bring discipline.
