108 Mala Counter App — Bead-by-Bead Digital Japa
The sacred number 108 holds deep significance in Hindu, Buddhist, and yogic traditions. Shraddha Saburi Path offers a digital 108 mala counter that brings the meditative rhythm of moving beads into your phone or tablet. Each tap registers one count toward your 108-bead round, helping you stay present and focused during japa without losing track. Whether you are doing one round or 108 rounds, the app faithfully records every count.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is 108 significant?▾
The number 108 is considered sacred across many spiritual traditions. It represents the wholeness of existence — 1 (God/Universe), 0 (emptiness/completeness), and 8 (infinity). Japa malas traditionally have 108 beads for this reason.
Can I set a goal higher than 108?▾
Yes. You can set any daily goal — 108, 1008, 10800, or any custom number. The app counts continuously and simply marks each completed round of 108 within your total.
Does the app make a sound on each bead?▾
The current version uses visual feedback for each count. Sound-based feedback is planned for a future update.
Can I pause and resume a round?▾
Yes. Your count is saved automatically. If you close the app mid-round, it remembers your position when you return.
Is this suitable for meditation retreats?▾
Absolutely. The minimal, distraction-free interface makes it ideal for extended practice sessions and retreats where maintaining count across long periods is important.
How accurate is the counter?▾
Every single tap is registered and saved immediately. The app does not skip or double-count. Your lifetime total is always accurate to the last tap.
