Different Kinds of Mala

[Guest guest]

Dear Freinds

 

Also was reading this in the Gems and Rudraksa Book

 

For the worship and rituals of almost all the Gods and Goddesses the

Jaap or frequent Chanting of some Mantras is compulsory with a

definite number according to each of the Gods and the Goddess for the

fulfillment of desires. In this case the best means to count Mantra

is by counting beads in Mala.

 

By useing a Mala it tells us how many times we have counted the

Mantra without haveing to maintain attention on the counting. In

addition to this a subtle electric current is created in the mind by

rubbing of the thumb with finger as we move from bead to bead. This

electric current also influences the heart through Vagus Vein and

makes mind concentrate deeply.

 

It can be asked why there are 108 Beads in a full Japa Mala neither

more or less ? According to Vedic Astrology there are 27

constellations in the universe and each constellation has four

quadrants hence there are 27 x 4 = 108 quadrants in all.

 

There are 9 Planets in Vedic Astrology and 12 Astrological Signs of

the Zodiac again showing 9 Planets x 12 Astrological Signs = 108

total.

 

Thus 108 has been considered the best number to join the Individual

Consciousness with the Absolute Consciousness.

 

There are many different kinds of Mala used in Spiritual and

Meditational purposes

 

Lotus Seed Mala ( Kamal Gatta Mala ) This Mala is used for the

wroship of the Goddess Lakshmi for Jaap or to Chant Her Mantra. ther

is special importance to Chant Her Mantra with Lotus Seed Mala. Mala

can be strung on thread or strung on silver and capped with special

silver Lotus Caps.

 

Turmeric Mala is used to perforn Amustand ( special prayers ) and

destroy enemies and succeed in law suits. If a person has fallen prey

to Jaundice he should wear garland of 8 or 10 beads of Tumeric.

 

Tulsi Mala and Kanti ( Neck Mala ) is regarded as the best for

worshipping of Lord Visnu, Lord Rama and Lord Krisna. According to

Ayurveda it is very useful in the throat disease. It is also used for

the purification of the body.

 

Conch Mala is used for special tantrik experiments and exercises

 

Baijanti Mala is used by the devotees of Lord Visnu and for chanting

Mantras to worship the Goddess Lakshmi

 

Sphatik Crystal Mala is the best Mala for counting beads while

chanting Devi Mantras. If it is worn the mind becomes pacified and

quiet. The wearer becomes pacified and quite. Wearer becomes the most

favorite of the Lord Siva.

 

Rudraksa Mala is very much effective and is used in all kinds of

rituals while worshipping Gods, Goddesses. Nine Planets. If any

particular Mala is not available Rudraksa Mala can be used. Thus it

is considered the best of all Malas.

 

Navratna Mala is used to Pacify Nine Planets. There are Nine precious

or semi precious stones corresponding to the Nine Planets in it. It

gives mental peace when it is worn
