Guest guest Posted January 19, 2003 Report Share Posted January 19, 2003 Om Gurave Namah Dear Swee, Can you check and find out WHY? Why is the index finger not allowed to touch the mala? I am sure you should be aware, else doing anything without being aware or having knowledge is tamas (ignorance).

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2003 Report Share Posted January 20, 2003 //OM Namobhagawate Vasudevaya// Dear Sanjay Guruji, Chandra (moon) resides on Tarjani (index finger) and moon has a shap because of moha. Could this be a reason?
