Our Story
Bali Malas was founded in 2007 to share sacred rudraksha seeds with yogis beyond Indonesia and Asia.
Long revered as a talisman of divine inspiration and healing energy, we’ve been blessed to plant this seed of wisdom in the West.
Our Sacred Seeds: Rudraksha, Rudrani, and Tulsi
Bali Malas are lovingly hand-knotted and blessed in Bali, Indonesia by Aum Rudraksha Designs. We see the world as a place where all should enjoy the beauty of soulful adornments, infusing the routine with meaning. We make the daily desirable, the mundane magical, and the sacred essential. Authentically inspiring all to integrate their intention, explore their potential, invite healing, and manifest their dreams.
Bali Malas is the sole North American source for Aum Rudraksha Designs
Founded by Soma Temple, after her Guru Papaji urged her to spread sacred rudraksha seeds in service to world peace, Aum Rudraksha Designs hand-crafts all of our rudraksha malas.
She works closely with Indonesian farmers who handpick each seed and tend to their Rudraksha plantations with loving care.
We offer many of their unique creations, as well as collaborate with their traditional artisans to bring our artistic visions to life.
Our Values: Respect People and the Planet
Fairtrade - Bali Malas provides a sustainable living wage to our large family of makers in Bali who have been working with us for many years. We are highly motivated to support them creatively and financially!
Sustainable - All of our malas are crafted with sustainably harvested Indonesian rudraksha seeds from farmers who are paid a fair wage.
Eco-friendly - we are conscious of our planet and the balance of life on a small island - particularly to the fragile oceans from where our products are produced. We have supported the movement to remove plastic bags from the island of Bali as well as enhanced recycling awareness. We use recycled and compostable shipping materials whenever possible.
Genuine - Harvested with love in Bali, we use genuine high-vibe, un-tumbled, un-dyed, blessed rudraksha seeds.
