Guest guest Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 Importance of Wearing Wrist Malas The rudraksha neck mala is highly important for gaining the blessings of Lord Shiva and aiding the neurophysiology of the body. However the wrist should take precedence when one is specifically seeking Moksa or " Liberation " . In the " Srimad Devi Bhagavatam " , 11th Skand, Chapter IV, Parts 1 to 21, there is a sequence of wearing mentioned that includes wearing the holy rudraksha on the wrist specifically to gain Moksa. The sequence is as follows: Interpretation of the above paragraph would lead one to believe that the most important part where rudraksa is worn, is around the wrist for attaining Moksa. One step further would be to hold rudraksa in the hand during meditation or Puja rituals. The hands and fingers hold great importance specific to Chakra points and Nyasa which are processes of empowerment to the body during meditation or Puja. Chapter IV, Part 37 of the Srimad Devi Bhagavatam mentions: " A rosary of 26 beads, 50 beads, 16 beads and 12 beads should be worn respectively on head, chest, arms and wrists. " Wearing 12 beads of choice is best for the wrist mala. /showarticles.php?artid=209 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
