Tulsi Kanthi Mala is one of the most popular malas worn by Indians. Made from one of the most auspicious plants in the Hindu religion, it is a beautiful string of beads made from the woody parts of the Tulsi plant. While Hindus prefer to use the white beads, Tulsi Mala, Buddhists also chant using it but they prefer the black one.

The Tulsi Mala is used for worshipping Lord Ram, Lord Krishna and especially Lord Vishnu. Tulsi or Sacred Basil is considered one of the most sacred of the woods used in Indian worship and the Tulsi plant is believed to be an incarnation of the Divine. Tulsi is reported to possess remarkable physical and spiritual healing properties and helps to improve devotion and love in the heart.

To empower the mala, and the mantra used in association with this mala, japa (mantra meditation) should be practiced once each day for 40 consecutive days.

When the mala becomes empowered, it can then be worn to transmit the energy of the mantra and the energetic qualities of the mala to the wearer.  If you use a different mantra, the energy of the previous mantra becomes replaced by the new one.  For this reason, many people have different malas for different mantras.
