The Divine Hindu Blog: Spiritual Insights and Inspirations

Karungali, known as Ebony in English, holds a special place in Hindu spirituality. The Karungali Malai, made from pure ebony wood beads, is popular among Tamil women for chanting mantras. These beads, believed to have significant spiritual and healing properties, are often sourced from the Karungali tree (Elaeocarpus ganitrus).

In Vedic astrology, the Karungali tree is hailed for its mystical attributes, often deployed to counteract negative celestial influences. Mars, referred to as Mangala or Kuja in Sanskrit, embodies traits of vigor, valor, and assertion.
