Mālā (Navkarvali) ginne ki sahi reet Jain paramparā ke anusar is tarah hai:

1. Shuddhi aur bhāv se shurūat

- Haath muh dhokar, shānt jagah par baitho. - Panch Parmeshti ko yaad karke, Namokār ya jo bhi mantra ho, uska bhāv karo.

1. Kaunse haath se?

- Paramparā se right hand se mālā ginni jati hai. - Zarūri majbūri ho to left hand bhi le sakte ho, lekin bhāv shuddh ho.

1. Kaunsi ungli se beads chalānā?

- Mālā ko madhyam ungli (middle finger) par rakhkar, - aṅgūṭhe (thumb) se har daane ko apni taraf kheenchte hue ginno. - Tarjani (index finger) se beads ko chhūnā nahi – ise ahankār/ego se joda jata hai.

1. Meru / Guru bead ka niyam

- Jo thoda alag / bada daana hota hai, use Meru ya Guru bead kehte hain. - Ginati Meru ke turant baaju wale daane se shurū karo. - Jab poori mālā ginke wapas Meru tak aa jao, - Meru ko cross nahi karna, - Mālā ko palat do (reverse direction) aur phir agla chakkar chalu karo.

1. Pakadne ka tarika

- Mālā ko seene/heart ke level par rakho. - Zameen par latakne na do, pairon se bachākar rakho. - Aankhein halka bandh ya nigaah nichi, man mantra par kendrit rahe.

1. Ginati aur gati (pace)

- Har bead par ek baar mantra: jaise Navkar Mantra. - Ginti se zyada spasht uchcharan aur bhāv zarūri hai. - Aam taur par 9, 27, 54 ya 108 jaap kiye jate hain.

1. Mālā ka samman

- Jap ke baad mālā ko saaf kapde / pouch me rakho. - Use gehne ki tarah show-off ke liye na pehno, adhik shraddhā se rakho.

Jain dharm me mālā sirf sādhak ke man ko ekāgrat karne ka sādan hai; mūkhyā dhyān hamesha Namokār Mantra ke arth aur Panch Parmeshti ke guṇo par hi hona chahiye.
