mala of 27+1 beads

[Guest guest]

Namaste M. Sai,

 

Remove those doubts Unless the mantra you are reciting is

strictly specified by your preceptor that it should be done 108

times in one sitting, then yes. If not, the answer is 'no'.

 

The 27+1 bead mala is compact and very useful for carrying around in

the pocket, briefcase or purse. Busy folks find it especially useful.

 

To be more precise, yes its ok to rotate 2 rounds in the morning,

one in the afternoon and one in the evening. This totals 108 times

anyway..

 

Om Namah Shivaya

Thank u Simone ji,

 

It is said, that we have to touch the meru beed to the forehead after

completion of japa. Do we have to do this on completion the one mala

or at the completion of the japa for that session.

 

In other words, when I have to touch the meru beed to my forehead

while doing japa with 27+1 or 54+1 japa malas?

 

Kindly advice.

Namaste M. Sai,

 

Its a matter of bhakti and personal preference whether you wish to, or

feel compelled to touch the Meru to the forehead the number of times

you want. Go with your instinct; Listen to the Inner Guru; Get in

touch with your Upa Guru and the right answer will come to you.

 

Sincerely, i can only speak for my humble self but not for others becos

each individual has different methods or practices as taught to them or

transmitted to them. All things being holy, sacred and in existence

becos of the Divine, as are the Tears of Lord Shiva, yes I touch the

Meru to the forehead after each repetition, whether long or short.

 

Paths are many but all lead to the One Summit

 

Auspicious blessings

Om Namah Shivaya

Simone
