Bageshwar Dham Sarkar
If I keep a mala but my deeds are bad, will it help me?
Mend your karma, not just your mala
What will the mala (prayer beads) do when your karma is black? Mend your karma and do it with care. When your deeds are good, fortune becomes your servant.
If your karma is right, if your deeds are good, then fortune is your servant. If your intention is good, then Mathura and Kashi are right in your home.
