India. My Dear Bh Luke, Please accept my blessings. All glories to Srila Prabhupada! Your question was sent some time ago, but due to various reasons beyond my control I couldn't reply earlier. > Dear *********, Please accept mt humble obeisances.All glories to Srila > Prabhupada. > During one of your last visits i bought some crystal beads which were > offered to Srimati Radharani in Mayapura.Sometimes on Ekadasis i will > chant extra rounds on the beads as they have 108 beads.Is this alright,or > is it better to chant Tulasi. There is no harm in chanting on crystal beads. Tulasi beads are considered the best for all purposes and advancement in Krishna consciousness. Crystal beads have other properties according to ayurveda, but better to ask an ayurvedic expert about that. The fact that they were offered to a Deity in the Dhama and that you can wear them as purification is very important. > Also what is the right way to Rhada-Kunda mala?Is it ok to wear them > or to place them on a picture and offer them incence? One can chant on these malas as well. They are not very durable so only on special occasions are they utilized. It is also okay to wear them for holy occasions, but not into the bathroom, etc. > Your servant, > Bhakta Luke. I hope that this finds you in good health. Your well wisher, Jayapataka Swami Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
