A Rudraksha guru bead adds an extra layer of spiritual significance and grounding energy.
Prayer Beads in Hinduism and Buddhism
Prayer beads hold significant importance in both Hinduism and Buddhism. In Hindu tradition, these beads are known as Japa, while in Buddhism, they are referred to as Mala. Typically, a set of prayer beads consists of 108 beads, along with a larger bead called the Guru Bead or Sumeru. For convenience, especially during travel, smaller sets of beads known as Wrist Mala or Power Bead Bracelets are used, which are worn around the wrist.
Purpose and Use in Meditation
Mala or Japa beads are instrumental in aiding concentration during meditation. Practitioners hold and move the beads between the thumb and third finger, reciting mantras with each bead. Upon reaching the Guru Bead or Sumeru, instead of crossing over it, they reverse direction and continue the process in the opposite direction. This method ensures continuous meditation without interruption. Importantly, the index finger is never used to touch the beads, as it symbolizes the Ego, which is seen as a barrier to achieving self-realization.
Significance of 108 Beads
The number 108 holds deep spiritual significance in both Hinduism and Buddhism. It is believed to represent the universe, with various interpretations such as the 108 energy lines converging to form the heart chakra in Hinduism, and the 108 delusions in Buddhism that one must overcome to achieve enlightenment. Thus, using 108 beads is a way to align oneself with the spiritual cosmos and its energies.
