What is Understanding the Sumeru Bead in Malas about?
The Sumeru bead is an extra bead included in malas or rosaries, usually the 109th bead in a set of 108. It marks the beginning and end of the rosary and should not be passed during japa or chanting. Starting from the bead next to the Sumeru and ending on the bead before it, without this bead it would be difficult to keep track of repetitions during japa.
