Tiger Eye Mala

Ruling God:

The Tiger Eye Mala is spiritually associated with Lord Surya, the Sun God in Hindu tradition. Lord Surya is the embodiment of light, energy, vitality, and clarity. As the ruling deity of the Tiger Eye stone, his influence is believed to empower the wearer with confidence, strength, and courage, qualities that reflect the radiant and commanding energy of the sun itself. The stone’s golden-brown, reflective surface symbolizes the illuminating nature of the sun, driving away darkness, confusion, and negativity. Just as the sun governs willpower and authority in Vedic astrology, this mala is often worn to strengthen the solar plexus chakra (Manipura), which governs personal power, determination, and mental clarity.

How To Wear:

Before wearing, it’s ideal to purify yourself through a bath or simple handwashing, and sit in a quiet, clean space to set your intention. You may chant a mantra such as “Om Suryaya Namah” or “Om Ram” (associated with the solar plexus chakra) to energize the mala and align it with your personal goals, be it courage, clarity, or emotional balance. The mala can be worn around the neck or wrapped around the wrist, depending on your preference. Many practitioners also use it during japa (mantra chanting) or meditation sessions, holding each bead gently between the fingers while reciting affirmations or mantras. If you’re wearing it regularly, it’s best to keep it as a dedicated spiritual item, avoid wearing it to places considered impure, and remove it before sleeping or bathing to preserve its energy.

Benefits:

The Tiger Eye Mala is widely revered for its powerful grounding and protective properties. Known as a stone of courage, confidence, and clarity, Tiger Eye is particularly beneficial for those seeking to strengthen their inner power and face life’s challenges with a balanced mind. It resonates with the Solar Plexus Chakra (Manipura), which governs personal will, determination, and self-confidence. Wearing this mala helps activate that energy center, making it ideal for individuals who want to overcome fear, self-doubt, or indecisiveness.
