How many beads does this Radha japa mala have?
It has 27 counting beads plus 1 sumeru or head bead, a compact japa format. Four rounds of a 27 bead mala equal one full round of 108, and each bead is original tulsi with Radha Naam.
When is a 27+1 mala more practical than 108?
A 27+1 mala fits in a pocket or japa bag easily, making it ideal for travel, office breaks and short chanting sittings. Simply circle it four times whenever you want a complete count of 108 names.
Is the sumeru bead treated differently during japa?
Yes, by tradition you chant up to the sumeru and turn the mala back rather than crossing it. This mala's beads are hand-shaped original tulsi from Vrindavan; keep them dry and away from scents for lasting use.
