I second your statement. I checked five different videos before this one. They were blabbing on about nothing. Minutes had gone by and they had yet to talk about how to use the Mala. This starts right off by telling you how to use it. This also points out that sincerity and use of the mantra is important - not which hand or which finger you use.
Ummm
Your index finger should never touch the seeds during counting.
@@WickedG5150 So what will happen if it touches?
@@starseed4448 I heard the index finger represents the ego. Other than that, I'm not sure.
@@starseed4448 OK, I actually saw a video of HH Dalai Lama using his index finger, so I'm guessing do whatever feels right for you. I suppose you only have your own spirit to answer to, really.
Thistle9080- Exactly.I am not one who follows the usual do's and don'ts in my spiritual practices.I listen only to my spirits guidance💖
Talk about synchronicity! The mala beads I just bought are the exact ones you are using in this video. Same materials, and read tassels. Om Mani Padme Hum! Namaste and thank you!

Perfect - the Mala helps sustain the mantra when thoughts enter the mind. For me they are a physical tool to use to help keep focus and the 108 represents completeness. At the end of 108 my intention for the practice is complete.
I loved this video! I just ordered a simple sandalwood mala. I've been meditating for a few years but recently discovered that I'm more focused when I use beads. I'm also glad that you mentioned that it's not about the material the mala is made out or how it looks but about our intention when using it.
I find that there has recently been a market around selling fancy and expensive mala, singing bowls, Buddha statues, etc. That seems so strange to me since fashion, trends and materialism doesn't really gel with what the Buddha represents.

Simple, clear and direct...thank you so much!

I just finished making my own mala with beads I had picked up. I bought a mala while in China for a school trip over spring break, not knowing entirely what it was, but this was a great video. I wanted to make my own so that if I did start practicing Buddhism, I could feel more connected with it. I am not one for religion. But Buddhism, being a philosophy, seems like something I would want to try and practice.
Buddhism is not just a philosophy, it’s also a very superstitious religion with many deities. Please don’t try to change our religion
@@ToastedSoda buddhism has many traditions. Not all are superstitious, nor do all of the traditions have dieties. Also, Buddhism has changed everytime it is introduced to a new country from India...where it originated not as a religion but teachings on how to stop suffering in life. It also teaches that change is always happening...in each moment and that is the cause of suffering. Funny you should ask someone not to change "your" religion. Everything changes. Nothing is Permanent. Clinging to ideas, clinging to constructs like religion causes suffering.
@@TheMickSheahan no Michael what you’re referring to is Indian Buddhism, East Asian Chinese Buddhism is way different to what you’re saying 🤣 once again another western comes and thinks he knows my religion better than me
I imagine Buddhism being like Judaism and Hinduism being like Christianity if we think of it in a western abrahamic sense... As in Buddhism is for serious spiritual people, and Hinduism is more of a thing for the masses. This isn't to tarnish reputations and say all people who practice Hinduism aren't serious and every Buddhist lives their entire lives in the Himalayas, it's just the general vibe I get.
However I will say, I come from an American, non-religious Christian background and I respect the Eastern religions more than my own; not only do they seem to get along more, but the knowledge of why they do certain things is still mostly alive and a lot of the practices still thrive. I was also fascinated by Buddhism most my life, and recently I think I've actually found my Ishta Devatā in Hinduism.. so life has been an interesting ride so far for me, hopefully it has been for everybody else.
best video instruction on how to use mala beads - no ego - just instruction - thank you so much, very informative
Thank you!
Mala beads and yantras together harness the energies that are needed to heal the specific chakra. The energy lines and the con flux of vibrations that are generated through mantra chanting the flow of energy occurs from the universe - the cosmic being to your heart - prana that which is a part of the divine.
👍🤩💝Straight forward and to the point. Very pleasant video. Thank you.💝
Never allow mala to touch the feet or floor as it soils the beads and clouds their aura. Never use pointing finger on the mala while chanting. That finger is the fickle finger of fate and will unbalance all the chakras.. Hare Krishna
Using your pointer finger I imagine would also be uncomfortable lol.
I made my mala by tying knots in a piece of string.
I once did that with a boot lace to say the Rosary when I left mine at home! Eleven knots and you got it!
Good
Nice idea dude!
That's so clever and creative of you! ☺️ W+
That's awesome.
Thank🌹🌹🌹 you
Thank you very much! Very informative video. I had just recently bought a rather cheaply made mala, with very small beads that make it hard to count with, so after watching this, I'll buy a mala with larger beads.
Best descriptions and demonstrations I have found. Thank you so much. I appreciate you.
Thought harmless, the information he gave.. It's kinda inaccurate. I'd like to suggest that you do a bit of research yourself.
Very helpful. Thanks a lot! 😊
Beautiful!

Are you from ISKON
I've got a fake sandalwood mala I bought at a market in Taiwan. I mainly use it to count breaths. I've never found a mantra I've felt particularly connected to
The mala should never touch on the floor even your legs.
Thanks for the explanation, cleared a lot up for me
Great video! I wish I have seen it years ago when I started but I will past it to those I know start now :) Thank you

I read that there should be knots between the pearls, so that the pearls does not come in contact and also avoid distraction. I am sure that is correct ?

Kudos for sitting in full lotus, Ive never been able to do it
its siddhaasana
Not full lotus if it was full lotus both his feet would be on his thighs
SpiritEmporer still impressive, I wish I was flexible enough 😊
@@spiritofzen7022 there are tons of videos on padmasana stretches it will definitely take a while but in the end you achieve a in my opinion very difficult yoga posture
He have a little chair behind him for sure...
It should be moved in a giving direction, so the beads move away from the body, with your left hand.
glad I saw this comment
+Eva Maria Here in India we do japa with right hand
According to Hinduism, beads should be move towards you with right hand. :-)
Ekta Dhyani If you move beads towards you, you develope egoistic state of mind, if you move beads in the direction away from you, you develope दान (Daana - Giving) in your mind. Also there is no such thing as "Hinduism" this word invented the englishmens because they could not comprehend the massive amount on traditions, spiritual teachings, philosophical directions, Higher Beings, Gods and so on, we learn about from vedic teaching. Sarva Mangalam!
Русский Индус No,moving it towards you DOES NOT develops ego,but it brings the blessings of God.
When reciting a mantra with your mala should the mantra always be the same mantra you have first started with? Also, while using the mala for mantras can they be used when verbally saying the mantra, rather than just using it for meditation?
Issa Ito different mantras has different purpose. so you should recite that mantra which is beneficial for you
Shall I chant different mantra using same mala example after chanting lord siva can I use the same mala for lord vishnu
@@masksisters3304 good question
@@masksisters3304 : yes
Thanks
Wow nicely explained👌
Thank you!
Good stuff...thx man
Thank you.
Best video yet on how to use these. Thank you. So many crap videos
I find the beads helpful to counting breaths.
Thank you very much. Is it OK to create my own mala for humming. It has a specific number of beads to maximize nitric oxide production in body via nasal passages, and the beads help me to follow the excercise to the end without my mind wandering and forgetting my counting. If it is disrespectful in any way I need to know this so I can modify appropriately, e.g. I can't call it a mala, etc. thank you.

thank for the explanation

Very informative.
But using the finger( index , middle , ring finger) varies from mantra to mantra
So much contradictory information on how to use Mala beads....push away or pull towards?, hold in left hand or right hand?, Over second finger or third finger? all seemingly coming from reliable, practiced sources?
Second finger or third finger but not from first because first fingure assumed to be guru who is standing behind u .....Pull ur side and never cross in the ending just move the mala jay mahakal
You Guys should watch (Sikhnet) or (Basics of Sikhi) Channel
What's the best mantra to use to energise and activate the rudraksha mala? Thnks
What ever resonates with you the most

Very well explained.

I have a mantra that I say or remind myself of often. But I just bought my first Mala beads today with the intention of focusing on my breath. So every time I count a bead would be 1 breath. Is this okay? Or have I just completely missed the point with my intention? I suppose there is no right or wrong. Its something that will help me start meditation because some days I really struggle to even sit still and other days I feel like I've done well.
can mixed up my beads? like stones and woodens all together alternatively. Because I have two wrist bracelets so those two together will be 27beads.
Om namay shiva
Om namaha shivaya
I’m new to this so I’m not sure if this question comes off as weird but if while moving the mala, my index finger accidentally touches the mala is there any steps I need to do to like counteract that?
Index finger should not touch as it is for our ancestors
Beautiful video, thank you so much!
bluefirekin ua-cam.com/video/uOMVPWPdnDA/v-deo.html
this is hindu way of mala usage. tks for video.
Glad someone else sees that. Still looking for ways to use mala that aren't so heavily influenced by Hinduism.
@@metamaeta uh hindus literally invented japamala…
Hello, I have recently purchased a rudraksha mala but they sent me one with 107 + 1 beads instead of 108 + 1, is it still useful for practicing? I believe not. Those rudraksha don't even have the feel of the original ones, which I carry on some bracelets.
108+1 is a must
There's videos on 'activating' Mala beads, but, is it true you have to do so? And if so, how is it done,
Like the man said, a mala is just a counting device at its core. "Activating" them is just woo
My thumb tendon becomes very painful when I use this method, it makes my wrist ache badly. Any hints on how to do it without the pain.
ua-cam.com/video/uOMVPWPdnDA/v-deo.html
Can two person use the same mala !??
U also keep your mala in gomukhi.. That's a mala bag. U can find it online and keep mala in that.. N keep ur mala in secret... Do not show to anyone.
Nice Cactus. if u nod out and fall, it will wake u up!
Some of these folks on youtube say that the rudraksha beads are too fiery or aggressive for the use of most people. Need to find out more about that. This fellow seems well-informed though. He says it doesn't matter what materials the beads are made of.
The best beads that I have found are the beads bought from SGI-USA.com
hello do you always pull the beads towards you
According to Hinduism, beads should be move towards you with right hand. :-)
Nice plants but ya might wanna place that cactus outside, bad feng shui
In Gurbani, Mala is used by Pundits and Vaishno, along with Dhoti and Tika.
ਜਬ ਕੀ ਮਾਲਾ ਲਈ ਨਿਪੂਤੇ ਤਬ ਤੇ ਸੁਖੁ ਨ ਭਇਓ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
Ever since this worthless son of mine began chanting with his mala, we have had no peace at all! ||1||Pause|| (856, Kabir)
ਮਾਲਾ ਫੇਰੈ ਮੰਗੈ ਬਿਭੂਤ ॥ ਇਹ ਬਿਧਿ ਕੋਇ ਨ ਤਰਿਓ ਮੀਤ ॥੩॥
You chant on your mala, and beg for money. No one has ever been saved in this way, friend. ||3|| (888, Gur Arjan Dev)
ਮਾਥੇ ਤਿਲਕੁ ਹਥਿ ਮਾਲਾ ਬਾਨਾਂ ॥ ਲੋਗਨ ਰਾਮੁ ਖਿਲਉਨਾ ਜਾਨਾਂ ॥੧॥
Apply ceremonial marks to their foreheads, hold malas in their hands, and wear religious robes. people think that the Lord is a toy. ||1|| (1158, Kabir)
ਸਾਲ ਗ੍ਰਾਮ ਬਿਪ ਪੂਜਿ ਮਨਾਵਹੁ ਸੁਕ੍ਰਿਤੁ ਤੁਲਸੀ ਮਾਲਾ ॥ ਰਾਮ ਨਾਮੁ ਜਪਿ ਬੇੜਾ ਬਾਂਧਹੁ ਦਇਆ ਕਰਹੁ ਦਇਆਲਾ ॥੧॥
O Brahmin, you worship and believe in your stone-god, and wear your ceremonial rosary beads. Chant the Name of the Lord. Build your boat, and pray, "O Merciful Lord, please be merciful to me."||1|| (1170, mahalla 1)
ਗਲਿ ਮਾਲਾ ਤਿਲਕ ਲਿਲਾਟੰ ॥ ਦੁਇ ਧੋਤੀ ਬਸਤ੍ਰ ਕਪਾਟੰ ॥
ਜੋ ਜਾਨਸਿ ਬ੍ਰਹਮੰ ਕਰਮੰ ॥ ਸਭ ਫੋਕਟ ਨਿਸਚੈ ਕਰਮੰ ॥
The mala is around your neck, and the sacred tilak mark is on your forehead. You wear two loin cloths, and keep your head covered.
If you know God and the nature of karma, you know that all these rituals and beliefs are useless. (1353, 1)
ਕਬੀਰ ਬੈਸਨੋ ਹੂਆ ਤ ਕਿਆ ਭਇਆ ਮਾਲਾ ਮੇਲੀਂ ਚਾਰਿ ॥ ਬਾਹਰਿ ਕੰਚਨੁ ਬਾਰਹਾ ਭੀਤਰਿ ਭਰੀ ਭੰਗਾਰ ॥੧੪੫॥
Kabeer, what good is it to become a devotee of Vishnu, and wear four malas? On the outside, he may look like pure gold, but on the inside, he is stuffed with dust. ||145|| (1372, Kabir)
I ask you to watch a video called " 37 x 73 in the Bible."
Let me know what you think ok.
Much Love.
108 mala means ek mala gini jatti he na
i give a mala beads today just because i once pray like this in mala finger but not yoga
Lot of other things are there when you chant the mantra by using Mala, .....
📿📿📿📿
This was not full ... knowledge mala jaap do with gomukhi only , it was ok for tutorial but you must give knowledge of complete mala jaap..
Amazing video! I just ordered the most lovely Tesbih from Luxury R Visible.com Can not wait for it to come!!
But what do you say or pray or do as you pass the bead? 🙄
you count :)
@@0lest Count?! 😕 I though you say a prayer, mantra or focus on you breathing 🤨
@@tonicrvnts it's exactly for that, counting how many prayers, chantings, chakras, arhats, breathes you take, etc. There's no specific thing you're supposed to do/say with them (like in other religions), the beads just helps you to focus in your meditation, keeps you from wandering away in your own thoughts. Although there are specific prayers you can do with it (just because you can, to change things a little bit instead of doing the same thing over and over again) it's no at all necessary neither obligatory.
Bump 🤍
Thank you I always use my middle finger to count . Using the ring finger is much easier for me. And even further from my index . So I dont risk it hitting a bead. I've never seen this method they all say middle finger . When ring finger is better .
rudraksa/mala/ gnitri, kalau diadopsi oleh tetangga disebut tasbih
I see you have cacti in your home, I think they bring negative feng shui...
No way, cacti are very cleansing.
ksol1460tv No, it depends on you and what you believe.
Sdmartel I've heard this as well
Hello Again.
Yeah I see what you mean, that argument is still futile as a creater still must create these powers. God tells us that he is Most Merciful, Most Generous more than any thing can be that's why after we repent from millions of sins Allaahthe Most Merciful still forgives the person. By being Generous he gave us life & Provisions food water wealth before which we not even dust. The Sun and Moon are two of his signs creations.

Why are you touching your index finger to mala It is not good, learn finger placement boy
It’s a 12 year old video - boy.
What is it with the recent comments here? It’s like you people suddenly have balls of steel behind that keyboard.
Meditate a little more BOY.
Show a little compassion instead of showing your asshole to the world.
It’s a little nicer.
One main drawback of this video is that mala must not be down undar waste ....It must be above navel ....In front of chest jay mahakal
Spiritual abbucus lol
For me, a mantra is much like the Christian rosary - repetitive and feckless. Sitting comfortably, in a way that does not create discomfort or pain, and doing breathing meditation is far more useful. Why does the mantra have to be in another language? Why is it more "magical" than simply repeating a phrase that is meaningful in your own language? Is it "magical"? Forgive me... but I remain skeptical of these things.
Wrong!!! )))) Read this book : Avalon Arthur - "The Serpent Power"
You just made the same mistake every western person makes.
*Mixing up the Buddhist and Hindu tradition into one package*
But again, there is no harm in it.
