In the Vedic tradition, a rosary made of skull bones, referred to as "Munda mala", has specific and profound spiritual symbolism. This rosary is not typical for everyday practices and is primarily associated with certain Tantric rituals and the worship of fierce aspects of deities.
​
  1. Worship of Goddess Kali: The most significant association of the Munda mala is with Goddess Kali, a fierce form of the Divine Mother. Goddess Kali is often depicted wearing a garland of skulls, symbolizing the transcendence of ego and the impermanence of life. Devotees and Tantric practitioners use the Munda mala while reciting mantras dedicated to Goddess Kali to invoke her transformative power, seeking liberation from ego-bound limitations.
  2. Tantric Rituals: The Munda mala is also associated with certain Tantric practices. In the Tantric tradition, this mala is used for specific rites that delve into deeper spiritual truths, often challenging conventional perspectives on life and death. These rituals are usually aimed at attaining spiritual enlightenment, mastery over one's lower self, and freedom from worldly attachments.
  3. Meditation on Impermanence: The skull, being a symbol of death, serves as a powerful reminder of the impermanence of life. Some spiritual practitioners use the Munda mala for meditations focused on understanding the transient nature of existence, helping to detach from worldly desires and focus on the eternal soul.
  4. Worship of Lord Bhairava: Lord Bhairava, a fierce manifestation of Lord Shiva associated with annihilation, is another deity connected with the Munda mala. Bhairava is often depicted with a garland of skulls, signifying his power over death and time. Devotees might use the Munda mala when invoking Lord Bhairava, seeking his blessings for protection, liberation, and transformation.

It is essential to approach the use of the Munda mala with reverence and understanding. Given its profound significance and association with potent energies, it is not recommended for casual or uninformed use.

As with many spiritual tools in the Vedic tradition, especially those related to Tantric practices, consultation and guidance from a knowledgeable guru or spiritual expert are crucial to ensure proper and respectful use.

    Vedic Culture, which   is the culture of the original Himalayan Masters,    is one of the most advanced ancient civilizations.  It is a tradition which has given mankind several treasures such Yoga, Meditation, Conscious-Living and Vedic Sciences such as Ayurveda, Vedic Physics & Vedic Mathematics.

    It was always a scientific culture that understood the very mechanics and workings of this Universe. Their deities, their gods and goddesses were all a way of expressing and explaining these energies and their inter-working. Modern Quantum Mechanics is just starting to understand string theory, dark matter etc. which have all been fundamental to the Vedic understanding. Because of this, they developed ways and methods which allowed one to best tap into life-energy itself.

    Vedic Culture, as it was practiced by the Himalayan Masters, was always a "way of life" and not a religion.

    Their basic view was that, there is only ONE Supreme God-head (God as our creator) and each one of us can find our path to it- experience union with that divinity (Yoga) in their own way.

    Because of this, anyone with any religious affiliations and beliefs can still benefit from their knowledgeable ways of Vedic Wisdom.

    Our attempt here is to present this ancient wisdom in a modern light, so our readers can interpret the true, essential meaning more easily and then extrapolate it to their own specific scenarios and enhance the quality of their life and being-ness.
