A Rudraksha Mala

Often a rudraksha mala is hung
dustily around
some dusty figure on
some dusty altar
somewhere.

If, if this mala is
taken in hand for
counting beautiful japa

even the figure can
come to life as
Lakshmi, Ganesha
or Buddha.

The Name, the Name
is
so beautiful--is the
fragrant whole of the Named.
