Karungali Mala is made from authentic ebony wood (Diospyros ebenum), also known
as Krishna Karunai Kizhangu in Tamil. It's a dense, naturally black hardwood sacred in Hindu
tradition. Our malas contain 108 beads carved from genuine karungali ebony, not painted or
artificially colored wood.

Authentic karungali has these characteristics:

• Deep natural black color (not painted - scratch slightly to verify)
• Very heavy and dense (sinks in water)
• Smooth, cool touch (even in warm weather)
• Distinctive wood grain visible on close inspection
• Subtle natural variations between beads (not perfectly uniform)
• Each AstroViz mala includes an authenticity certificate

Fake karungali is usually painted regular wood, plastic, or light resin that floats in water.

Yes! Karungali Mala can be worn by anyone regardless of age, gender, or zodiac sign.
There are no restrictions. It's beneficial for:

• Men, women, children, elderly
• All zodiac signs and nakshatras
• All religions (though rooted in Hindu tradition)
• Pregnant women (safe, provides protection)
• Students, professionals, business owners, homemakers

There are no negative side effects or restrictions like some gemstones have.

Use your right hand for japa meditation. Hold the mala draped over your middle finger
and use your thumb to count beads. Move in a clockwise direction. Never use the index finger
(considered inauspicious in tradition) or cross over the guru bead (sumeru). When you reach the
guru bead after 108 counts, reverse direction for the next round.

Yes, you can wear it while sleeping. In fact, many people wear it 24/7 for continuous
protection. Karungali is believed to:

• Protect from nightmares
• Promote peaceful sleep
• Guard against negative energies during sleep
• Enhance dream clarity

However, some prefer to remove it at night and keep it near their bedside for personal comfort.
Both approaches are fine.

It's recommended to remove karungali during bath/shower because:

• Prolonged water exposure can remove natural oils from wood
• Soap, shampoo chemicals may affect the wood over time
• It's more hygienic and practical

However, brief water contact won't damage authentic karungali as it's very dense. If accidentally
wet, simply wipe dry with a soft cloth.

Results vary by individual and situation:

• Immediate: Some feel calmer and protected from day one
• 1-2 weeks: Most notice subtle positive changes in energy and luck
• 1 month: Significant reduction in obstacles and negative influences
• 3 months: Major shifts in prosperity, protection, and life circumstances

For best results:

• Wear or use daily consistently
• Chant your chosen mantra with devotion
• Maintain positive intentions
• Keep the mala energized (moonlight, prayer)

You can chant any mantra with karungali. Popular choices:

For Protection:

• Om Namah Shivaya (Lord Shiva)
• Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra
• Hanuman Chalisa

For Prosperity:

• Om Shreem Mahalakshmiyei Namaha
• Om Gam Ganapataye Namaha

For Saturn/Planetary:

• Om Sham Shanaishcharaya Namaha (Saturn)
• Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya (Lord Vishnu)

Universal:

• Om or Gayatri Mantra (works for all purposes)
• Your personal ishta mantra (chosen deity)

The mantra matters less than your devotion and consistency

In traditional belief and practice, karungali is considered one of the most powerful remedies for:

• Evil eye (drishti/nazar) - Absorbs negative jealous energy
• Black magic (tantra/mantra) - Creates protective shield
• Psychic attacks - Deflects harmful intentions
• Curses and negative spells - Neutralizes harmful energies

Thousands of users across generations have reported protection and relief from such influences. While we cannot scientifically prove these metaphysical claims, the traditional knowledge and user experiences speak to karungali's protective reputation.

Both are sacred, but different:

Karungali (Ebony Wood):

• Wood from tree trunk/root
• Primarily for protection and prosperity
• Absorbs negative energy
• Grounding, material world focus
• Good for business, wealth, Saturn remedies
• Universally wearable, no restrictions

Rudraksha (Seed):

• Seed from Rudraksha tree
• Primarily for spiritual growth and health
• Emits positive energy
• Elevating, spiritual realm focus
• Good for meditation, health, overall well-being
• Some mukhi faces have specific recommendations

Many people use both - Rudraksha for spiritual upliftment and karungali for worldly protection and prosperity. They complement each other beautifully.

Yes! Karungali Mala makes an excellent gift for:

• Birthdays and anniversaries
• Housewarming (new home protection)
• New business launch (prosperity)
• Graduation (new chapter protection)
• Difficult times (support and protection)

Gifting spiritual protection items is considered very auspicious in Indian tradition. Include a note explaining its significance and care instructions.

Yes! Karungali is one of the most recommended remedies for Sade Sati and Saturn-related problems. According to Vedic astrology:

Why Karungali for Saturn:

• Black color resonates with Saturn's energy
• Dense, grounding nature pacifies Saturn
• Absorbs Saturn's heavy, challenging energies
• Traditional Saturn remedy recommended by astrologers

How to Use for Sade Sati:

• Wear karungali mala daily
• Chant Saturn mantra: "Om Sham Shanaishcharaya Namaha" 108 times
• Start on Saturday (Saturn's day)
• Continue throughout Sade Sati period (7.5 years)
• Combine with other Saturn remedies as advised by astrologer

Many users report significant relief from Sade Sati difficulties when using karungali consistently.

Yes, karungali can be combined with other spiritual items:

Excellent Combinations:

• Rudraksha + Karungali: Spiritual + Material protection (very popular)
• Karungali + Tulsi Mala: Protection + Devotion
• Crystal Bracelets + Karungali: Specific purpose crystals + General protection
• Karungali + Gemstones: Planetary gemstones + Saturn remedy

Wearing Together:

• Can wear multiple malas simultaneously
• Keep karungali closest to body for protection
• Ensure they don't constantly rub against each other (prevents wear)

There are no negative interactions between karungali and other authentic spiritual items. They work synergistically.

Don't worry! A broken mala is NOT a bad omen. Here's the spiritual perspective:

Why Malas Break:

• Physical wear from daily use (natural)
• Thread becomes weak over time
• Absorbed significant negative energy and fulfilled purpose
• Completed its karmic cycle with you

What It Means:

• Positive view: It protected you from something major and took the hit
• Neutral view: Natural wear and tear after extended use
• Action needed: Time to respectfully dispose and get new one

What to Do:

1. Thank the mala for its service
2. Dispose respectfully: bury under a tree, immerse in flowing water, or keep in temple donation
3. Don't throw in trash (disrespectful)
4. Get a fresh mala for continued protection

Prevention:

• Check thread condition monthly
• Re-string if thread looks weak
• Handle gently
• Store safely when not using

While karungali can be started any day with good intention, traditional auspicious days include:

Most Powerful Days:

• Saturday: Saturn's day (karungali's planetary ruler)
• New Moon (Amavasya): Protection items traditionally started
• Full Moon (Purnima): Spiritual items gain maximum energy
• Pradosham: 13th day of lunar cycle (Shiva's time)
• Maha Shivaratri: Most powerful for Shiva devotees

Good Days:

• Your birthday or important personal dates
• Start of new venture (business launch, new job, etc.)
• After consulting with astrologer for your chart
• Any day you feel drawn to start

Simple Starting Ritual:

1. Morning after bath (clean state)
2. Light incense or lamp
3. Offer prayers to your deity
4. Chant Om or your mantra 11 times
5. Wear with devotion and positive intention

Remember: Your sincere intention is more important than the specific day!

Karungali requires minimal cleaning as it naturally repels dirt:

Regular Cleaning (Weekly):

• Can use slightly damp cloth if needed (not soaking wet)
• Dry immediately with soft towel
• Avoid rubbing hard (prevents polish loss)

Energy Cleansing:

• Pass through incense smoke (sage, sandalwood)
