What is this all about?? > AVram This was in response to sibling Kalipadma's response to my question regarding proper japa technique using mala beads. Kalipadma wrote as follows: "And technically, especially if you are chanting in public, your mala and hand should be obscured inside a <gomukh> (cow's face -- it looks like a small feedbag), a bead-bag, or under a piece of cloth. It's considered unlucky for strangers to watch you counting your beads -- and evil magicians can steal the merit of your japa!" So I responded with the above. Hope that helps to clear things up!
