This mala is devoted to Saraswati: the Shakti goddess of wisdom, learning, and language, who manifests as a living current of intelligence that flows through sound, breath, and the subtle body.

For me, Saraswati is the river beneath thought.
The moment clarity arrives without force.
The wisdom that moves through when we stop trying to define it.

This mala was created during a period of reflection around voice, expression, and the wisdom of sharing what we know from a lived and embodied experience.

The Stones

The beads are AAA-grade amazonite, chosen for their calm strength and their natural resonance with the throat chakra. Amazonite supports honest, heart-aligned communication that is clear, steady, and grounded. The incredible turquoise color and banding is absolutely gorgeous and unlike any amazonite I’ve ever seen!

This is a stone for speaking truth with ease, finding your voice, and allowing words, ideas, and creativity to flow naturally. Amazonite is especially supportive for teachers, writers, guides, and creatives, as well as for anyone reclaiming their voice after a period of silence, self-doubt, or holding back.

The 16-Petaled Lotus and the Throat Chakra

At the center of this mala is a gold-plated charm featuring a Sri Yantra held within a 16-petaled lotus, the traditional symbol of the throat chakra (Vishuddha) — the energetic center of sound, vibration, and authentic expression.

The 16 petals represent the 16 Sanskrit vowels of subtle vibration, reminding us that voice is not only about words, but about the frequency we carry into the world. The throat chakra acts as a bridge between heart and mind, intuition and articulation, inner truth and outward expression.

With the Sri Yantra resting inside the lotus, this symbol speaks to Saraswati’s deeper teaching: wisdom is meant to move. Insight becomes alive when it is spoken, written, sung, or shared with integrity. This is expression that flows from clarity rather than effort, and from presence rather than performance.

Numerology: The Architecture of the Mala

• 11 — intuitive insight, inspired voice, spiritual transmission

• 5 — change, movement, freedom, and the energy of the fifth chakra

• 16 — inner truth revealed through listening and refinement

• 21 — integration, wholeness, embodied wisdom

• 22 — master builder energy; bringing vision into form

Together, these numbers reflect the journey of receiving wisdom, trusting it, and allowing it to move outward in a way that serves something larger than the self.

Working with Saraswati

For those who feel drawn to connect with Saraswati devotionally, this mala may be used with the traditional mantra:

Om Aim Saraswatyai Namaha

This mantra calls in clarity of mind, purity of expression, and inspired speech. Aim is the seed sound associated with Saraswati, awakening creativity, learning, and the flow of wisdom through sound.

Chanted softly or silently, this mantra can be used before writing, teaching, speaking, or during meditation and japa with the mala. Rather than asking Saraswati to give wisdom, the mantra supports the removal of obstacles that block it from flowing through you.

Who This Mala Is For

This mala is for those who feel called to:

• Speak or create from a deeper place

• Share wisdom without self-erasure

• Teach, write, or guide with authenticity

• Trust their knowing even when it moves quietly

A companion for prayer, mantra, writing, teaching, and remembering that wisdom — like Saraswati herself — moves best when we allow it to flow.
