How many beads does this black japa mala have?
It carries 27 counting beads plus one sumeru bead, the classic 27+1 format. Four rounds of this mala equal the traditional 108 counts, with long black tulsi beads that are easy to grip.
How do I chant with a 27+1 mala?
Hold the mala in your hand, move one bead per mantra, and turn back at the sumeru without crossing it. Complete four rounds for a full 108 japa; the long beads make counting smooth and unhurried.
Is the black colour of these beads natural?
The beads are original tulsi wood in a deep black finish, handcrafted rather than machine-made. Keep the mala dry, away from perfume and oils, and store it in a japa bag to protect it between sessions.
