Namaste Sweet Sister Linda,

You are a beautiful inspiration for overcoming trouble.

A mala is normally 108 repetitions ( 100 is an accepted rounding off,

covers errors of mispronounced mantra, skipped bead and plain estacy

dropping of the mala ) so 6,000 repetitions = 60 malas x 100. If it

is necessary for me to stop within a mala, I use a rudraksha bead to

mark the spot to continue.

Here is a quote from the Tirukkural under Undaunted by Calamities:

Laugh when a calamity comes upon you ; there is nothing like laughter for overcoming it.

and this which is another one of my favorites:

Those who are not troubled by troubles will cause trouble to troubles.

With Love

Kanda

A mala is 108 repitions for many reasons.

 

1 <- Number of leader

+8 <- Number of teacher

=9 <- Number of spirit / soul / consciousness

 

Thats one of the reasons why there are 108 (+1) rudraksha seeds on a mala.
