Guest guest Report post Posted May 26, 2001 Jai Gurudev Dear Brothers Here is the exact text from out main site for using Rosary. I hope this will be able to solve confusion of Shri Sanjay and other. It is available in faq under "Sadhna Related Queries" ------------ Q. How to chant using the rosary? How do I hold the rosary? Which hand? A. You should hold the rosary in your right hand while chanting the Mantra. You should take rosary in right hand between Ring-Finger and Middle-Finger and move it using Thumb and Middle-Finger. You should place your hand adjacent to the heart. The rosary should not touch your leg or ground. Either you should place your left hand to avoid this, or you may put rosary in Gomukhi (cotton cloth bag) whilest chanting. Your index finger (fore-finger) should not touch the rosary. You should never let rosary touch the ground even when you are not performing Sadhana. It should always be kept wrapped in a clean cloth. There is a separator bead in every rosary. Basically it is the central bead at which the thread containing beads is joined/tied together. This is normally marked by a different color thread on it. You may easily identify the separator bead. You should start moving the bead from the bead next to separator bead. You should not start from the separator bead itself. The beads should move along with the mantra chanting in direction towards you (clockwise direction). You should move one bead with each chant of complete mantra. In the moving process, once you reach the separator bead after finishing the bead before the separator bead, you should overturn the rosary with your right hand, making the last bead before separator (one you used just now) the first bead after separator. This is called as completing one complete round of the rosary. And then you should start chanting again with this bead as the first one. In some muslim mantras, the rosary should move in direction away from you (anti-clockwise direction). Normally, the same Mantra is chanted with all the beads. One rosary should preferably be used for a particular Mantra only. Only a particular type of rosary can be used for a particular Mantra. For maximum benefits, one needs to use a special consecrated rosary which has been enlivened for the particular mantra for that person. -------------- Jai Gurudev Charanjit Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest guest Report post Posted May 27, 2001 Yup! that the exact info. The logic behind holding th erosary close to heart is that the movement of energy from hand to rosary n from rosary to hand also affects the heart and in this process energises the heart. After alla pure n loving heart is what needs in getting a success. Which will greatly increase the chances of success in a sadhana.
