TULSI KANTHI MALA
With great spiritual and cultural significance, the Tulsi Kanthi Mala is a sacred necklace crafted from the wood of the Tulsi plant (Ocimum sanctum) in Hinduism. Loved for both its therapeutic and spiritual qualities, Tulsi is thought to be the earthly embodiment of the goddess Tulsi, who was Lord Vishnu's beloved companion.
Many benefits, such as spiritual protection, physical and mental purification, and increased devotion, are said to come from wearing a Tulsi Kanthi Mala.
The mala typically consists of 108 beads, symbolizing the 108 Upanishads, although variations exist. These beads are intricately strung together, often with a larger bead known as the "Meru" bead, signifying the start and end of the mala.
Apart from its spiritual significance, Tulsi Kanthi Mala is believed to have healing properties. Tulsi is renowned for its antibacterial, antiviral, and anti-inflammatory qualities, which can contribute to overall health and well-being. The Tulsi Kanthi Mala is essentially more than simply a piece of jewellery; it represents faith, dedication, and the enduring bond between the wearer and the holy.
