Guest guest Posted November 26, 2006 Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 Namaste Nikhil, absolutely agree with Sri Dharma Dev Arya's excellent advice. Regarding your question about 27+1 and 32+1, the difference is: 27+1 beads is usually used for meditation and counting mantras. They are usually of 5 mukhs. When we chant mantras and rotate 27 beads for 4 rounds, we get 108 times. 27+1 a good size mala for those who wish to carry in the pocket or small handbag. 32+1 normally consist larger size rudraksh and is made into Kantha Malas.
