A rosary is not just a fashion accessory. This item is used in world religions as an aid in performing rituals and reading prayers. The word "rosary" has ancient Russian roots. "Cht '" means "read", "count", "honor".
Instructions
Step 1
Before throwing the rosary, find out what each element means. They are made of beads or seeds strung on a rope or ribbon, tied in a ring. In the place where they are fastened, an object is hung on the rosary, or a brush is made of threads.
Step 2
In different religions, an object or a tassel on a rosary is special. In Orthodoxy, a cross or thread with three beads is tied to them. This rosary means the garden of the Most Holy Theotokos and the beautiful roses in it. Hindu rosary beads have two identical tassels. In this religion, the string, on which the grains are strung, symbolizes the secret, the unknown. A ring formed by a cord or ribbon is the cyclical nature of times. On a rosary in Buddhism, two tassels or several beads are attached. The threads vary in color. With red twine, they are meant for the privileged practitioners of tantra. In the center there is one large gilded bead representing the Buddha. Muslim rosary is made with an oblong tassel, in front of which a stone is attached. This subject means faith in one God.
Step 3
Depending on the religion, the number of grains strung on the rosary differs. In the Orthodox attribute there are most of them - 160. In Hinduism there are fewer than in other religions - 64.
Step 4
Basically, rosary beads are thrown when reading prayers. This allows you not to lose count, to voice the correct number of psalms or mantras, to repent the required number of bows. In addition, the rosary activates the sensitive points at the fingertips. This enhances the work of the brain and allows you to completely immerse yourself in a state of divine trance. The rosary helps to concentrate and maintain an uninterrupted rhythm of prayer.
Step 5
Which prayers to read depends on the religion. Both the number of readings and the content of psalms and mantras are different. To understand what exactly you need to read, and what actions to take with the rosary, consult with a minister of the temple. The priest in the church, the rabbi in the synagogue, the holy father in the church - each religion has its own teachers of the law who can give the necessary instructions. They will definitely tell you how to use this prayer attribute. Whether it is necessary to throw the rosary, sort out the grains, or just hold the ring in your hands.
