{"product_id":"rose-quartz-prayer-beads-necklace","title":"Rose Quartz Prayer Beads Necklace","description":"\u003cp\u003eA stunning string of rose quartz, the love stone, is used to create this beautiful jap mala. Rituu crafts this by hand to honor Hinduism and Buddhism. Also known as prayer beads or rosary, it consists of 108 \u003ci\u003emalas\u003c\/i\u003e or beads, sometimes 109, which are flicked with the thumb during \u003ci\u003ejap\u003c\/i\u003e or meditation. That way the person may concentrate fully on repeating mantras.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Buddhism, the 108 beads represent the human passions, while in Hinduism their symbolism is more complex. The number may refer to the names of Vishnu and Shiva in the Mahabharat; the 108 Upanishads; the number of deities of knowledge and various sciences; and the various permutations of the soul's defects, amongst others. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAccording to Hindu custom, the correct way to hold the jap mala is with the right hand, draped over the middle finger and using the thumb to flick through the beads. Since it is believed the index finger represents ego, the greatest impediment to self-realization, it is best avoided when chanting on a mala. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRose Quartz \u0026amp; Polyester Tassel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e34.5\" L\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e440 Gemstones\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandmade in \u0026amp; fairly traded from India\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDue to the handmade nature of this product, exact color or pattern of stone may vary.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stock On Demand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48857746112731,"sku":"NVC-173505","price":37.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/5615\/6123\/files\/NVC-173505_2.jpg?v=1781079871","url":"https:\/\/elaracraft.site\/products\/rose-quartz-prayer-beads-necklace","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
