Yes To Life • Mala

Wear our Yes to Life Ganesha mala to call in good fortune, happiness and protection with Hindu God Ganesha, who carries the wisdom of the Universe in the depth of his round belly. 

Depicted on a beautifully shaped pendant the Elephant god is known as the keeper of the threshold who supports new beginnings, positive intentions and places or removes obstacles to show us that whatever is in the way is the way.  His life-affirming energy evokes positivity, joy, and a zest for life, reminding us of life’s sweetness. In Balinese custom, he is called upon before any new chapter to bring in ease, luck, and prosperity.

The back of the pendant is adorned with a beautiful floral mandala/ornament. The mala is made of Rudraksha beads set in a beautiful pattern and embellished with Aquamarine crystals.

Each piece of our jewelry has been blessed in a Balinese Ceremony.

Ganesha is an affirmation of life, a Yes written in bold and bright letters. He is a riot of colors, a manifestation of strength and passion, the one who loves sweets and makes friends with a mouse. Known as the God of Beginnings and the Remover of Obstacles he is called upon before any new chapter to bring about luck and happiness, ensuring obstacles are cleared.

Ganesha's elephant head signifies deep wisdom, large ears symbolise attentiveness, a broken tusk denotes sacrifice, and his potbelly embraces all that life has to offer. Revered as "buddhipriya," or the husband of intelligence, Ganesha embodies intellect and deep wisdom, with his tilak-adorned forehead symbolizing the third eye and spiritual insight.

In Bali, Lord Ganesha is commonly seated in front of every house as the protector and gatekeeper of what is to be kept safe. His upward-facing Abhaya Mudra represents the action of warding off any negative spirits. Ganesha’s presence is both a spiritual safeguard and an affirmation of life, happiness, and luck.

The Ganesha mala is made of Rudraksha beads that are set in a unique and beautiful pattern and adorned with Aquamarine crystals. Aquamarine calls us into courage to speak our truth with grace and ease.

We acknowledge Ganesha as a key figure of (Balinese) Hinduism. Please note, we honor this symbol's intention and energy instead of endorsing any particular religious belief.
