Guest guest Posted March 16, 2003 Report Share Posted March 16, 2003 Srimaddevibhagavat 11th Skand Chapter V *************************************** Isvara said O Kartikeya ! Now I will speak how to count the Japam ( reptition of the Mantra ) with rosary. The face of Rudraksam is Brahma; the upper summit point is Siva and the tail end of Rudraksa is Visnu The Rudraksa has two fold powers : It can give Bhoga ( Enjoyment ) as well as Moksa ( Liberation )........In stringing the Beads into a Rosary it should be seen that the face of one Rudraskam is in front of the face of another Rudraksam......and the rear part to the rear part of the other. The Meru Bead must have its face turned upwards and the knot should be given over that. The Rosary thus strung yeilds success of the Mantra that is Mantra Siddhi Worship the ( Rudraksa ) rosary with the Mantra of that Devata for which it is intended Chapter VI Isvara said O Kartikeya ! Kusagranthi, Jivapattri and other rosaries cannot compare to one sixteenth part of the Rudraksa Rosary. As Visnu is the best of all the Purusas, the Ganga is the best of all the rivers, Kasyapa amongst the Munis, Uchchaihsrava amongst the horses, Maha Deva among the Devas, Bhagavati amongst the Devis so the Rudraksam rosary is the Best of all rosaries. No Vrata or Stotra is superior to it Aum NamaSivaya Sivaya Nama Aum DharmaDev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In other words is the mala viewed with the Meru bead at the top or at the bottom. Thanks Soma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 17, 2003 Report Share Posted March 17, 2003 It is the center bead of a mala. The bead that is not touched while counting. It is said to hold the energy of japa repetitions. So if some one mentions a 108 bead mala ..it is really 108 plus Meru. 54 bead + Meru, etc. Kanti In a message dated 3/18/2003 12:28:04 AM Central Standard Time, skchinna writes: > Namste, > What is Meru Bead? > > Rgds > Srikanth > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
