Satchidananda
Sat – truth
Chid – consciousness
Ananda – bliss
Truth, consciousness, bliss – our true nature
The Unity Mala combines different symbols and frequencies which support the embodiment of unity & peace on our planet. It is a reminder of our intentions. The song Satichidananda/Awakening by Deva Premal & Miten is the inspiration for the Unity Mala, and is available as a free download here.
The materials used in the mala are Jerusalem stone and 24k organic gold. The Jerusalem Stone holds the frequency of a grounded heart, which is a reminder to allow the knowing of the heart to be expressed within our every day interactions, and strengthens the connection to the essence of our spirit.
A 24 karat organic gold intention bead sits right above the Guru Bead and the tassel and is imbued with Deva Premal & Miten chanting the mantra Satchidananda – Truth, Consciousness, Bliss.
The intention is to amplify the golden light within your reality and create a resonant energetic grid connecting all of us walking together on this journey.
The pure gold, vibrating its natural qualities of softness and flexibility, offers the teaching of acceptance and non resistance. It is a great conduit that opens the gate for universal energies, allowing free choice and non judgement, so the abundance of all things enriches us with all that we ever need.
Gold holds the frequency of purity and is uncontaminated. It reminds us to shine our uniqueness, to share our light and meet the next moment without attachment – magically transforming any moment into a golden one.
Unity Mala Symbols
Malas are traditionally created with 108 beads to support the practice of chanting mantras/prayers/intentions 108 times. According to the ancient holy scriptures of India, our body has 108 main energy lines called the nadis and when we repeat a mantra 108 times we fill up these 108 nadis with the energy of the mantra.
The number 108 also symbolizes the frequency of life:
1 = oneself within the oneness
0 = living in the field of never ending possibilities
8 = experiencing life within infinity
The Jerusalem Stone beads that are used for the Unity Mala are 4 mm in diameter, the number 4 symbolising community
The string is knotted twice between each bead as a symbol of connection, communication, sharing and love.
The ‘guru bead’ is a 6 mm bead which symbolises an open channel for universal energies - inviting the support of all parts of our being to guide us on this journey.
The tassel is made by wrapping the string 21 one times as a symbol supporting change from within. The Unity Mala arrives with the tassel closed so that you can tune in and cut it yourself, with the intention and the invitation to support the embodiment of unity on this planet.
