Need for a mala

Most people think that they can practice japa yoga in any way that they like. After all, it is only chanting a mantra (psychic sound), so it matters little how it is chanted; it matters little whether one uses a mala (rosary) or whether it is held in the left hand or right. In fact, this is totally incorrect; japa has its own special rules and regulations. If these are not followed then japa will fail to bring results.

The purpose of japa is to awaken the psychic awareness. To bring this about, it is necessary for the average person to use a mala. But why use a mala? Surely the awakening of awareness can be achieved without a mala. A mala itself doesn\'t awaken awareness, so why bother to use it?

Surely psychic awareness can be awakened without the use of a mala, agreed, but the trouble lies with the human temperament. The mind is a system which does not remain steady for any length of time. Therefore it becomes necessary for us to choose a medium or a basis, through which we can know when we are aware and when we are not. When you travel to a faraway place, you pass many milestones on the way. Even if there were no milestones you would be able to reach your destination. But the milestones act as a check and show you that you are going in the right direction. In japa, the beads are the milestones and the mala is the road. The road and milestones are essential in order to ensure that you reach your psychic destination. The beads maintain awareness and keep the psychic system in check.

Let us make this point more clearly for those who have not been able to follow. We use a mala as a method for checking and detecting those moments when one becomes unaware and forgets what one is doing. It is also used to give an indication of how far one has progressed in the practice. At a certain stage in japa, when the mind becomes quite calm and serene, it is possible for the fingers to become inert. They become momentarily paralysed and you become completely unaware. Sometimes the mala may fall to the ground. When these things arise you should know that you have strayed from the aim of japa, that is, you have failed to maintain awareness. If you don\'t have a mala in your hand when you practice japa, how will you know what you are experiencing? You might be under the impression that you have experienced a state of spiritual ecstasy, when all you have really experienced is total unconsciousness. When japa is done correctly and concentration takes place, the mala will continue to move almost automatically. At the same time, the number of rotations of the mala should be counted on the fingers of the left hand.

ABOUT GOMUKHI

The word gomukhi means \'in the shape of a cow\'s mouth\'. It is a small bag which resembles the shape of a cow\'s mouth. The mala and your right hand are both placed inside the gomukhi so that they are obscured from view. With your hand in the bag, you then begin to rotate the mala, the bottom of which is supported by the bottom of the bag.

A gomukhi is very light, doesn\'t interfere with the practice of japa and prevents other people interfering or becoming curious about your practice. It can be used when you walk along a street or when you leave your house. It is widely used by those who do anusthana (sustained practice for long, fixed periods of time), perhaps 50,000 to 60,000 beads per day. For them it is almost a must.
