Japa Count

[Guest guest]

Dear Members - How much important is it to have the count, while doing

Japams ? Is it a good practice to set aside specific time and do Japam

without actually counting or is it a good practice to have the

counts ?

 

I agree if someone is having specific Sankalpam, the counts could be

relevant. Is the count relevant if some one is doing Japams just

without any expectations ?

I was told count is very important because with out a proper count

the mind will easily deceive us.

 

If we set aside a specific time and do Japa by looking(or looking at

it once a while) at a watch, the mind will go around the world 3 or 4

times and come back by the time we are done.

 

Only when the purascharaNa is complete and if the mind can get

absorbed/one pointed can one do away with the count. And that

requires quite some practice/effort.

 

Let us hear if anyone thinks above may not be accurate or have a

different opinion.

The nature of Mind is that of the nature of monkey and even if one is involved

in counting the mind wanders. As Maha Periyavaal puts it, the sound of the

mantra itself, irrespective of the mind wandering gives immense benefit to the

Sadhaka. therefore Do no bother on the wanderings but try to do as much as

possible. The wanderings also depend on the samskaras of last janma which cant

be avoided.

Dear all

 

Is the vasthu that is used to keep the sankya of any significant importance

here? For eg: does a japa done with a mala of 14 faced rudraksha have a better

effect on the sadhaka than doing the same japa with a spatikamalA etc. ( may be

the mala is a just a mere tool to keep the " monkey " from counting and the number

of beeds in the mala is suppose to take care of the count!!)

 

Is there anything in the scriptures regarding which vastu is better etc? For

eg: for the dhampathi, it is suggested that spatika or rudraksha be used and for

nArAyaNamurhty, we used tulasi or padma seeds etc.

 

Does the nature of the vasthu, have an effect of the japa being done?
