Handcrafted from the holy Tulsi plant, each mala carries centuries of spiritual tradition — a companion for daily japa, meditation, and divine protection.
What is a Tulsi mala?
The Tulsi Mala is one of Hinduism's most sacred prayer bead necklaces, crafted from the wood or stem of the holy Tulsi plant (Ocimum sanctum)—revered as Goddess Tulsi herself and considered especially dear to Lord Vishnu and Lord Krishna.
For centuries, saints, Vaishnava devotees, and ISKCON practitioners have worn Tulsi Mala as a constant spiritual anchor, using it for mantra chanting (japa), meditation, and as a Kanthi Mala worn close to the heart throughout the day.
Unlike ordinary jewellery, a Tulsi Mala is a living symbol of bhakti. Each bead naturally carries sattvic vibrations believed to purify the mind, ward off negativity, and keep the wearer in a state of spiritual awareness from morning to night.

How to Use Your Tulsi Mala
1. Purify Before Use
Before first use, hold the mala gently and chant:
"Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya"
This helps consecrate the mala and awaken its spiritual energy.
2. Hold Correctly for Japa
Hold the mala in your right hand, draped over the middle finger.
Use your thumb to move one bead per mantra and ideally keep the mala inside a Jap Mala Bag.
3. Respect the Guru Bead
The larger Guru Bead (Sumeru) marks the beginning and end of one round.
Never cross it. Instead, reverse direction and begin the next round.
4. Wear as a Kanthi Mala
Wear the Tulsi Kanthi around the neck close to the heart.
Traditional Vaishnava practice considers it a constant shield of divine grace.
5. Store with Respect
Keep your mala:
- On your altar
- In a clean cloth pouch
- Inside a dedicated Jap Mala Bag
Never leave it on the floor or in unclean spaces.
