Guest guest Posted May 29, 2007 Report Posted May 29, 2007 Question from Roma:I would like to an anushthaan of 1,00,008 japas of the "OM NAMAHA SHIVAY" mantra and another of the "OM AIM HRIM KLIM CHAMUNDAYAI VICCE" mantra. How many malas would I need to do in order to complete this? What is the process of counting the malas when one is doing japa without homa?Swamiji's response:To make japa of 100,008 mantras , you will to do 926 malas. We generally do 1000 malas, offering the extra malas as dakshina to the required dhaan.Because your sankalpa is 1 lakh mantras, the same formula will apply to both the Shiva and Navarna mantras.

Guest guest Posted May 30, 2007 Report Posted May 30, 2007 Thank you for your response. One more question. When counting on a mala, how many rounds are needed to complete one mantra for example " OM NAMAH SHIVAY " ? Or does one bead equal to the full mantra, in this case, " OM NAMAH SHIVAY " . Thank you.

Guest guest Posted June 3, 2007 Report Posted June 3, 2007 Nandaji, Thank you. That helps. I was confused because somebody said I should count differently.
