A Buddhi Seed Mala is a sacred mala traditionally used to enhance intellect, wisdom, and mental clarity in spiritual practices. The name "Buddhi Seed" refers to the specific type of seeds used to create the mala, which are believed to have powerful energetic properties associated with the higher mind (Buddhi) and consciousness (Chitta).

While "Buddhi Seed" is not a specific type of seed in the same way rudraksha or tulsi are, it often refers to seeds that are associated with wisdom, knowledge, and mental clarity. These malas are sometimes made using seeds from various plants, including those that are considered spiritually significant in the context of developing a sharp, focused mind.
