“The purpose of japa (mantra repetition) is to awaken the psychic awareness. To bring this about, it is necessary for the average person to use a mala.”
“... I only want to say one thing more: a mala may not be something that your intellect can accept, but for successful practice of japa, it is a necessary tool for the mind.”
Swami Satyananda Saraswati
