Site by CurlyHost. Why the number ? Here are a few interpretations of the significance of the number Sanskrit alphabet has 54 letters. So each step becomes a blessing forwarded in time, and as we rotate the beads we are aligned with the complete blessings of the Universe. Tradition demands that when we have completed one turn of the rosary and have reached the th bead, that is the Guru Bead, we have mastered one level of perfection of the Mantra that we have recited.
On reaching the Guru bead, it is also a tradition to flip over the Mala, and restart from the same bead that we ended at. This represents going backward along the path of realization that we have trod upon, and also has a spiritual significance, in consonance with all patterns of nature. Very scientific indeed!
The Guru Bead represents the summer and the winter solstices, where the sun seems to have stopped in its elliptical path, and has reversed its direction.
This would mean that the sun having reached the furthest in one direction, now traverses the same path backwards to the other side. Just like a pendulum that swings back and forth, the movement of the sun also displays a to and fro action. This is why we flip over the Mala at the end, as the microcosm always mirrors the movement and patterns of the macrocosm.
Using this method also reminds us of our deep interconnectedness with nature. This becomes a symbolic paean of praise for the cosmic cycles governing the Universe! Next week we shall explore some more of this interconnectedness of natural laws and our age-old spiritual practices.
