The yellow color may have been the saffron use to bless the beads. I would normally caution drinking water that had any coloring in it, if I did not know what the seller put on the beads. However, I have drunk water in which beads have been immersed from Rudra Center, without clearing them of the blessing materials. > > 3.

This is another question that others on the list can answer better than I can. I move the beads toward myself, using my thumb and my middle finger, without touching the meru.

Guest guest Posted March 26, 2004 Report Share Posted March 26, 2004 Thanks Kariji for replying so promptly, From what you said it appears clearly that you don't use gomukhi bag or any utensil with cloth to cover the Jaapa Mala while doing Jaapa i.e you do jaapa using your Holy Rudraksha Mala in the open. Am I right? While starting to do Jaapa, initially you allow to rest the Meru Bead on your middle finger and then start doing Jaapa by pulling the first bead adjacent to the Meru towards yourself or you initially allow the first bead adjacent to the Meru to rest on your middle finger and start doing Jaapa counting that bead that is resting on your middle finger. When doing Jaapa one needs to count the bead after each pull towards our self after the Mantra chanting or one need not count the bead because it is obvious that I having a 27+1 Holy Rudraksha Mala starting from first bead adjacent to the Meru and ending at the last bead just before the Meru have completed the 27 count of Mantra. Also the first bead to be counted should be same all the time i.e on both side of the Meru bead there are one adjacent bead each which can be a starting point for the Jaapa.So the question is that whether any one of the bead as mentioned above be made the starting bead randomly or the bead which has been made the starting bead for the first time remains the starting bead for the lifetime.

Guest guest Posted March 27, 2004 Report Share Posted March 27, 2004 I start from the first bead on either side of the meru bead. It doesn't have to be the same bead, forever. As previously stated, I let the beads slip, as I count, between my thumb and middle finger. I don't touch the meru bead. Different techniques are used, when counting prayers, by different people. The only important things, in my humble opinion, are: 1) To do at least one round of 108, and 2) To not cross the meru bead. The point of using a mala is to track the number of mantram, and to make contact between the beads and the skin, during japa.

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2006 Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 Namaskar and welcome to the group...........actually you can do this if you wish however a suggestion would be to keep seperate Beads for Water Therapy........if you use your other beads for water therapy you would have to clean them first and then after useing for water therapy your beads would have to be oiled again........so is really best to get the water therapy beads on the Rudra Center website www.rudraksha-ratna.com as they are specifically selected for this use hope this helps Rudra Center America DharmaDev Arya In a message dated 1/12/2006 7:16:50 AM Pacific Standard Time, shiv2moksha writes: Hello to all, Wishing all of you a very happy new year !
