What is Tulsi Mala
A Tulsi Mala is a sacred garland made from the stems or roots of the Tulsi plant (Ocimum sanctum), also known as Holy Basil. In Hinduism—particularly in Vaishnavism and the ISKCON movement—Tulsi is revered as a goddess and a pure devotee of Lord Krishna. Wearing or chanting with a pure Tulsi Mala is believed to bring spiritual protection, inner peace, and divine blessings.
How to Use Tulsi Mala Properly
For Japa:
Hold the Tulsi Mala in your right hand, using the thumb and middle finger (avoid using the index finger). Begin after the Guru bead and chant one mantra per bead. Do not cross the Sumeru bead; turn the mala around when you reach it and continue chanting in the reverse direction.
For Wearing:
Always keep your Kanthi Mala clean and treat it as sacred. Don’t wear it during sleep, bath, or in impure places. Avoid placing it directly on the floor or treating it like jewelry.
Spiritual Benefits of Wearing and Using Tulsi Mala
Wearing or chanting with an original Tulsi Mala brings several spiritual and emotional benefits:
- Increases Bhakti (Devotion): Tulsi’s divine energy enhances love and remembrance of Lord Krishna.
- Purifies Karma: A pure Tulsi Mala helps burn negative karmic patterns and uplift the soul.
- Protects from Maya: It acts as spiritual armor against illusion and negativity.
- Health & Peace: Tulsi is known for its sattvic vibrations, promoting calmness and mental clarity.
