Devadharu Bracelet + Mala Combo - 10 mm - Yellow Tassel Combo Offer

The word Devadaru comes from two Sanskrit words: "Deva" (God) and "Daru" (Wood/Tree). It literally translates to "Wood of the Gods" or "Divine Tree." Native to the Western Himalayas (India, Nepal, and Pakistan). It grows at high altitudes and is revered for its majesty, longevity, and medicinal properties.

The beads typically range from a pale yellow-brown to a medium golden-brown, often darkening slightly with age and skin contact. The wood is durable and smooth when polished, but retains a natural, earthy feel. The wood contains aromatic oils that release a sweet, woody, and balsamic scent. This fragrance last for a very long time and is amplified by body heat.

The Devadaru forest (Darukavana) is frequently mentioned in ancient texts as a favorite meditation spot for Lord Shiva and ancient sages (Rishis). Therefore, the mala is believed to carry the vibration of Shiva. It is believed that the tree acts as a bridge between heaven and earth, grounding high spiritual energy into the physical realm. It is considered a guardian wood, keeping negative energies and evil spirits at bay.
