Namaste Nanda I wear a single rudraksha bead on a gold chain all the time ( day and night ), a rudraksha japa mala around home, and away from home a small beaded rudraksha mala ( this mala is used for japa when traveling ), also at times a silver capped rudraksha mala. Siva Yogaswami enjoined his devotees: "Wear rudraksha beads, repeat the Panchakshara, let your heart grow soft and melt. Chant the letters five, and in love you will discover Siva's will. Chant so that impurities, anxieties and doubts are destroyed. All hail Namah Sivaya." Om Namah Sivaya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2006 Report Share Posted March 6, 2006 Suite yourself, Arjuna. I take my mala off at night so as not to break it while asleep and never shower with it around my neck. Also I do my japa just on my finger segments. Even so the energy from the japa seems to find its way to the Rudraksha Mala about my neck. My finger tips are pained while I japa directly on the mala. Conversely I feel great discomfort if I sit in assana without the rudrasha beads about my neck. That is how it is for me, but to each his/her own. jai sadak/s , kandaaran wrote: > > > In a message dated 3/6/2006 12:33:56 P.M.

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2006 Report Share Posted March 6, 2006 I agree with Arjuna. I always wear my japa mala around my neck and many times under my shirt. I like it right next to my skin where I can feel that energy all the time!

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 go into nitty gritty of the things.The bottom line is how much devotion and faith one has towards the almighty,the supreme Consciousness,which incidentally is the same for each human and animals and all the matter in this cosmos.Whether one prays with flower or leaf or mala or havan or just in your mind or in whatever language or wether in bed or in shower or in a difficulty ,is ultimately heard by the God. Even if one is chanting a mantra wrong,which is quite possible,even then the almighty will look into our sincerity and bless us for our liberation and forgive for our errors.It is usually a good idea to be strict with viddhis but even when it is not physically possible in our fast life,a moment of remembrance to the Lord is enough.Many people may differ from my point of view.But as Sriswamiji has said before,everyone need to start somewhere and then build upon it. Since the God pervades into each atom of our body as its shakti and its matter,we merely need to invoke the consciousness within us with proper viddhi or with whatever is possible. In the end one need to be humane and spread the love and compassion within the entire flaura and fauna of this planet and colectively act to remove ignorance,hatred and wars and especially childlabor and child and women abuse.
