Actually you can either keep track n a notebook if it is a long mantra and you do only a few per day, or you can determine how many days for example that you will do say 1000 per day. Often times people do more than the 125000 to make sure My experience is that engaging in a committed Sadhana brings benefits during as well as after the process. > Arjuna > ============ > james richard <nhraddude71> wrote: > What happens if you only say the mantra 124,999 times?

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2005 Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 and play the devils advocate sometimes its just to get closer to the truth whatever that may be. I love Ganesha, more than words can say. For some reason I have found a jewel within him that i hadnt seen in any other religion. I seriously do chant and meditate every day if possible. I dont wish or chant for anythinbg other than to be closer to him. In doing this i just feal like every thing else will fall into place. Just want you all to know that despite my hericy at times i am glad to be a member of Om Ganesh. Its a beautiful thing the way the internet can allow us all to meet on the common ground of ciber-space.

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2005 Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 I'm told the 108 beads of a japa mala were determined by multiplying the 12 astrological signs by the 9 planets used in Jyotish. So there's a bead for every planet in every sign. 1008, 108, and 18 are magical numbers in a variety of Eastern traditions. Even in Judaism, "Chai" the word for "Life" is represented by the number 18. -- Len/ Kalipadma --- james richard <nhraddude71 wrote: > Hi everybody, Im sorry if i seam (or am) a wise guy > sometimes but Im always interested when absolute > numbers and God come into the same place.
