Guest guest Posted January 23, 2004 Report Share Posted January 23, 2004 Pranams Sy ji thanks a lot for the clarification. but i am not sure whether jaap malas consisting of 18+1, 36+1, 45+1, 63+1, 72+1, 81+1 are available. only heard of 9, 27, 54, or 108. warm regards, rajeswara syzenith <syzenith wrote: Namaskar Shri Rajeswaraji & D. Mehtani, Just a humble two cents' worth: ------------------------------- Traditionally, a "Japa Mala" consists of any one combination of beads equating to the total 9 plus one Meru bead, i.e. 18+1, 27+1, 36+1, 45+1, 54+1, 63+1, 72+1, 81+1 and 108+1 for a full mala. Generally "Combination Mala" is one that can comprise any number of faceted rudraksha beads selected by the individual based on instinct, immediate circumstances that he/she wishes to correct and other immediate influencing factors. These number of beads can be strung to form a "Personal Mala". The terms "Combination Mala, Synergistic Combination and Personal Mala" can be interchangeable in many cases but a "Rashi Mala" is based on the Zodiac. At the same time, a "Personal Mala" may also be selected based on birth details, and may comprise relevant faceted rudraksha beads, ratna, uparatna or navratna beads, etc. Om Namah Shivaya Sy , rajeswara rao <sarvadu> wrote: > Dear Diepak Mehtani ji, your 'mala' consists of 13 Beads you said. as far as i know if it is a mala then 27beads+1 should be there or 54+1 or 108+1. plus the order in which the beads are strung also may perhaps make difference. i would like Dharmadev ji and/or Syzenith ji to enlighten on this aspect. > > Lord Shiva bless you. > > with warm regards, > > rajeswara To send an email to: / SiteBuilder - Free web site building tool.

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2004 Report Share Posted January 23, 2004 Hello - in response to types of malas - I personally have malas with 18+1 and 36+1 and I have seen 81+1 - so they definitely exist and are used although less so than 9, 27, 54, or 108....
