mala on altar

[Guest guest]

Namaste Paul,

 

How wonderful to know you have both Siddha Mala and Indra Mala! When

placing on the altar, its fine to put them each in their respective

pouches and tie up the pouches. The plate is optional - it depends

on how you feel, whether you wish to use one or not.

 

Keeping it from the sight of other people means visitors who may

enter your puja room or strangers outside who may stare at your

malas. As you know, wearing under the shirt is preferable. Its fine

for family members to see your malas on the puja table but not wear

them. Family members exclude visiting relatives or friends unless

you are very close to them and share good relationships.

 

Om Namah Shivaya
