Guest guest Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 Namaste Sai, the Sumeru bead in a Japa Mala is the one with a tassle worn behind the neck. The centre bead of a Personal Mala is the middle bead that hangs down the chest. An excerpt from Rudra Centre's website mentions the following: "Sumeru is a prominent bead, which is normally the central position of the rosary. The Sadhaka while rotating the rosary during Mantra Jaap should not overtake this Sumeru while counting and from there he should count the recitation in the reverse order. This bead stores the energy of the Japa and should be touched on forehead after completion of Japa. For wearing a Personal Mala this sumeru bead is not necessary." /article.php?screen=7 , "mudigantisai" <mudigantisai wrote: > > Namaste Group. > > Please clarify the difference between Sumeru Bead and Center Bead. > > Thanking You. > > Sai > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
