Karungali is long worn to keep negative energy at a distance through the day.
South India has worn this black ebony wood to stay steady through heavy periods.
Matte black beads stay quiet, so your mind settles into the mantra, not the shine.
Worn for generations by devotees of Sri Shivji and Sri Ayyappaji, not a trend.
108 represents a complete cosmic cycle: 12 rashis multiplied by 9 grahas, 108 Upanishads in the Muktika canon, and 108 sacred pithas of the Goddess. Completing one full mala of 108 mantras symbolically circles the entire universe through sound.
Sit facing east or north in a quiet space. Hold the mala on your middle finger and chant Om Namah Shivaya, one bead per mantra, pulling each bead with your thumb. Complete all 108 beads without crossing the Sumeru. End by touching the mala to your forehead.
Chant Om Namah Shivaya, one recitation per bead, 108 total per round. Hold the mala in your right hand, draped over the middle finger. Use the thumb to advance beads toward you. The index finger must not touch the beads, as it stands for Ahamkara (ego) in Vedic tradition. Do not cross the Sumeru bead. Flip and reverse direction for more rounds.

Wipe with a soft dry cloth. Light coconut or sesame oil every few months keeps the wood from drying. Avoid soaps, chemicals, and prolonged water. Store in a cotton pouch. The wood deepens with regular handling.
