About_LilaMala

in the ancient and resonant Sanskrit language, Lila means "play" and Mala means "garland"

Play as an expression of joy and creativity. Play as all the elements of the universe join in the spiralling, creative dance of light and dark, fire and water, male and female. Lila-play is creative, joyful and universal.

Mala often refers to a japa mala, the 108 bead devotional necklace worn to help count repetitions of a mantra, but malas were originally simply garlands, symbolic decorations of flowers or leaves. Just as self decoration with natural elements of beauty or power is an ancient, universal human characteristic, a Mala-garland is a form of self-expression, whether sacred or profane. Explore this playful, creative space of self-expression with LilaMala.

In a world that is increasingly standardized, where individual accents, traditions, and cultures are all being effaced by multinational corporations and their branded goods, LilaMala goes against the trend. We are all about individual expression.

You probably already know, but together let us find the tones that resonate, that setyou ringing with joy, that amplify your bliss.

Like a sonnet or haiku, you may find beauty in the prescribed form of japa mala or perhaps you seek a more playful expression in a necklace, bracelet or earrings.

All our creations are an act of devotion, an expression of your creative self, uniquely you.

Come play with us.
