If you are into making your own prayer beads this bead would be the central bead! Found out that this “Guru Bead is your teacher, it is said to hold your prayers and intentions. When using a Mala ( or prayer beads) you would start by holding your guru bead and setting your intention for your practice. You would then use the Mala for your meditation as you breathe or count a mantra over each bead.” There are matching Prayer beads for the body of your Mala here in singles or here in strands...
