Description
- 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.
