Guest guest Posted December 4, 2000 Report Share Posted December 4, 2000 Hi Judith! Let share whatever i know. Rather i my self was very surprised to find that christains do have a rosary. I had known that in christanity prayer is the most followed practice. In Islam too use of rosary is there. i am not aware for what purpose christains use rosary. If possible can enlighten all of us abt it. i think there is much similarity btw hinduism and christanity with regard to Rosary. I don't much abt Islam. Let me share whatever i know abt it. In Hinduism Sadhana (practice through which one takes control over ones body and mind) is one of the ways to reach God. in a very literal sense any act done with full perfection, attention and devotion is called Sadhana. Now lets take Sadhana in spiritual context. In Sadhana " Mala " forms a very imp. part. in Sadhana there are different things which are used to obtain success in a task for which the Sadhana is being done. This " Mala " or " Rosary " is mostly used to chant mantras. They are also used to be worn around neck for health, spiritual matters and for the overall benefit for one too. In scientific terms you can think this way these rosaries are made up of speial materials. Before use they are charged with energy. And the energy is corresponding to the task for which that rosary has to be used. There has to be a compatibility btw the material of the rosary and the energy which is to be stored in rosary. Only a person who has attained a very high level in spirituality can charge them. When these rosaries are used for recitation ebergy from our body gets stored in them and then it comes comes back to us through rosary after getting magnified. Care has to be taken that it should be kept pure, should not be allowed to fall on ground, how to restore it back if the string of rosary breaks down. Rosary is worshipped too in the Sadhana. Respect has to be given to anything that we use. Also it has to be rotated in specific manner. Faliure to do so can result in negative results. Just like resonance. Resonance occurs at only one frequency not all. To me there seems no difference between Vedic Sadhanas ( I a saying vedic for Indian becomes a very complex word in this context) and the Islamic Sadhanas. Its just they are in urdu and vedic are in sanskrit or no-vedic in common man's language. Same for the Buddhism too. Buddhism is nothing but an offshoot. Looking at the question when did they originate. Then looking at Hindu Gods it can be found that they are as old as God is. This is only pure speculation other members who r very much knowledgable in divine scriptures can tell you more about it. love, Anurag > - > " Vivekananda Centre London " <hindu > " judith bovensiepen " <jbov; " list " <ramakrishna > > Saturday, November 25, 2000 01:53 > Re: Advice concerning the mala > > > > > > Dear Sir or Madam, > > > I am studying Anthroplogy at the University College London and currently > > > working on a project concerning the material culture of the mala.

Guest guest Posted December 4, 2000 Report Share Posted December 4, 2000 Hi Jay! That was a very nice and simple explanation. Light is something very different from other physical objects. Hence this unsual behaviour. love, Anurag > Hi Jairam > > This unusual feature that speed of light is constant is 'a real breakthro' > in > modern science.
