question on mantra japa

[Guest guest]

Namaskar and thank you for your message...........answer is yes.....you can do

on any day you wish.........in addition..........Rudra Center has half malas of

54 beads and one meru bead and quarter malas of 27 and one meru bead that can be

worn on wrist.......your question of alternative for bij mantra is not quite

understood in that a bij mantra is is a really short condensed powerful version

of a more complicated mantra.....for example you can finish your practice in

half the time if you were simply chanting the bij mantra GUM for energy of Lord

Ganesha instead of Aum Hreem Gum MahaGanapatayei Namaha.....so am understanding

you are not getting time on some days to do Japa however if you stick with the

bij mantras of the Holy Rudraksha you would have time in each day to do what

you might need.....some people even wear wrist malas and do Japa on the way to

work as they drive their cars

hope this helps

if i had to do 1mala{108 times} japa of a particular mantra daily,and if i could

not do 1mala{108 times} on some day(due to some personal reasons) then would it

be ok/advisable to do 2mala's{108+108 times} the very next day,here 1 mala

mantra japa for the previouse day(on which i could not do the mantra japa) and

1 mala mantra japa for the curent day..

is this ok and aceptable..

or is there any other alternative..

do these other alternatives depend on type of mantra one is doing..

whats the other alternative if the mantra is a beej mantra..

what ever solution the person follows i hope the person gets the benefit from

the mantra meditation he/she is doing on a daily basis
