Guest guest Posted March 26, 2004 Report Share Posted March 26, 2004 Dear Members, I procured a 27+1 5Mukhi Holy Indonesian Rudraksha Jaapa Mala in Red thread from Rudra centre Mumbai. I wanted to know few things from you my friend. I know that you will definitely help me out. They are: 1. Will this 27+1 5Mukhi Holy Indonesian Rudraksha Jaapa Mala in Red also need to be cleaned in water and oiled once in a month as other malas of Rudraksha. 2. I do jaapa while dipping the Mala in a water in copper utensil in morning and in Gomukhi Bag in night before sleep. I noticed that on dipping the Holy Rudraksha in water , the color of water turned into yellow on the first day,the second day the color of water was lighter and the third day more lighter.Can somebody tell what is this? For this reason I didnot drink the water first four days,however I sprinkled it in my rooms and courtyard.Was this water safe to consume when yellow color was darker ? 3. It is said to cover the mala in Gomukhi Bag or with cloth while doing Jaapa dipping the mala in water in copper utensil.Can somebody tell the reason behind it.Is this necessary condition to do Jaapa or can be done without it also? I find it difficult to do Jaapa while completely the mala and hand are inside the Gomukhi Bag because the mouth of the bag is too narrow as compared to hand and moreover the Meru bead which is large and due to tussle the meru bead often gets stucked with the bag and hence cause difficulty in pulling the beads .Similarly is the case when it is done in water in copper utensil,the mala looses its straightness due to wetting effect and also due to meru being large and tussle the meru bead often gets stucked with the walls of utensil and hence cause difficulty in pulling the beads . Can any body help me out in this matter? 4.When doing jaapa initially I rest the Meru bead on the middle finger of right hand.Then start counting the first bead adjacent to meru by pulling it towards myself.Now I want to know is there any condition that one should hold the Meru bead on the middle finger such that the beads in front of the meru bead always remain in front and the beads back to the Meru bead always remain back to the Meru i.e I mean to say that Whether I need to hold the mala on middle finger in one direction only always or can i hold it randomly. Looking for your early reply Best Regards and Pranaams D.Mehtani Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
