Hare Krishna,
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
I bought some new Japa beads, and now I have an extra set that I no longer need.
I was wondering what I should do with this set? I was thinking to give them to some one as they are nice beads, or donate them to the temple ?
But i was wondering if there is any issue with that since i used to chant on them? i dont want to leave them in a drawer and not use them, and of course throwing them out is out of the question but i dont know what else to do with them.
I have strong beliefs on not having more than I need, and I already have a spare set of beads that I use for chanting in places like the bus etc
Any ideas ? if any one lives in the UK and would like some large beads I will happily send them to you...
thank you,
Japa Beads
AGTSP ! Hare Krsna ! I've wondered this also, but in regard to leaving my body. Is it correct to have ones Japa (initiation) beads burned up in the creamation fire or is it better to leave them so that if the Lord permits, i am reunited with them in another lifetime? I have heard of such things happening in Budhist lore. If anyone has thoughts on thiese matters, please share them.
Thank you!
