Method of Counting Beads

 

Japa, the counting of beads, should be done after covering the mala.

A mala should always be kept in a cotton bag (Gomukhi). During the

counting of beads, the hand should be inside the gomukhi. While

counting mantras the mala should not touch the ground at any time.

There is another method for Japa:

 

Take a copper bowl filled with water. Hold half the beads of a mala

in the hand and allow the rest of the beads to remain dipped in the

water. Now cover the hand with a cloth and begin the japa. After

completing the japa (reciting mantra), this water should be sprinkled

in the house, the courtyard and then drunk for attaining happiness

and salvation.

 

Mantra for the attainment of final salvation or religious perfection

should be recited by revolving the rosary with thumbs and the Index

finger (also called Tarjani, i.e. first finger or the finger of

Jupiter). The finger of Jupiter is also used for destroying enemies.

Mantras for peace should be recited with the help of the thumb and

second finger (also called Madhyama or finger of Saturn). For the

attainment of mantra siddhi, use the thumb and third finger or ring

finger or finger of the Sun). The thumb is used for final

emancipation. The finger of Jupiter is for prosperities through

trading and business. The finger of Saturn is for wealth and

happiness. The finger of the Sun is for peace. The anamika or finger

of Mercury is for all types of mantras and achieving siddhis.

Revolving a rosary with the thumb, middle and ring finger helps

attain peace and mental tranquility.
