Tulsi Mala ( Jaap Mala)

Tulsi Mala is a sacred rosary made from the Tulsi (Holy Basil) plant. It is commonly used in Hinduism, particularly for chanting mantras and prayers. The mala consists of 108 beads, which are strung together, with one additional bead called the “meru” or “sumeru” bead, which is often larger or different in color.

Tulsi is highly revered in Hinduism for its medicinal, spiritual, and purifying properties. The mala is used during meditation, devotional practices, and in reciting the names of deities like Lord Vishnu or Krishna. Using a Tulsi mala is believed to help with concentration, foster spiritual growth, and invoke blessings.

The benefits of Tulsi include purifying the mind and soul, improving focus, promoting peace, and assisting in deepening the connection with the divine. Tulsi malas are also considered to be a powerful tool for protecting the wearer from negative energies.
