Tulsi Prayer Beads for Japa
For the purpose of Japa, Tulsi mala consists of 108+1 beads. According to ancient Yogis and Rishis, The diameter of the Sun is 108 times the diameter of the Earth. That is why we have 108 beads in a mala. According to Ayurveda, our body has 108 marma points (vital points of life forces). So, this is why all mantras are chanted 108 times because each chant represents a journey from our material self towards our highest divine self. Each chant is believed to bring one 1 unit closer to the divine within.
