Wearing Japa Mala...

[Guest guest]

Dear Davidji

 

Namaskar My Friend and thank you for your message

 

Is really a personal choice if you would like to wear your Japa Mala and also do

Japa with same Mala

 

there are those who do both and is probably more a matter of convenience as the

neck is best place for a Japa Mala as far as I know. Then Mala is always there

when needed anytime and anywhere

 

Regarding not letting others see your Rudraksa I dont know where this might have

come from as is not normally an issue in India where many wear their Rudraksa on

a Necklace that show above the shirt neck line at the throat

 

Wandering Sadhus walk about with Rudraksa Malas outside their clothing and also

wear on chest with no shirt

 

There are pictures of Gurus and Saints in India that show wearing on the outside

of clothing for all to see also

 

Is recommended best to wear the Rudraksa directly on the skin under clothing for

best effect and in the colder anglo countries this results in the Beads not

being seen by others however anytime you wish others to see your Rudraksa is

really not a problem

 

Other thing is really not a good idea to hand your Mala to another to hold or

allow another to wear because the Rudraksa you wear is tuned to your system

however allowing sight of Rudraksa is considered good

 

Hope this helps

 

Thanks and Take Care My Friend

Wearing Japa Mala...

 

 

 

 

Greetings Group,

 

Namaste

 

Am curious about two things, I have read numerous times

if mantras are recited on Japa mala, mala is not to be worn.

Would this be true?

Also have read in at least three separate places, Malas are not to

be seen by other people. (have searched for this info again, but

cannot find)

Have enclosed website where first question came from.

 

Also wanted to share that the amount of information

in these 312 pages is amazing! I have learned so much from

ALL of you and feel priveleged to be here.
