Tulsi mala is a string of beads made from the sacred tulsi plant, and it is often used in Hinduism to aid in the repetition of mantras or prayers. Chanting with a tulsi mala can be a powerful spiritual practice that can help to calm the mind and bring about a sense of peace and connection with the divine. To begin a tulsi mala chanting practice, first find a comfortable and quiet place where you can sit undisturbed for a period of time. Hold the mala in your right hand and start with the bead next to the large 'guru' bead. Begin to recite your chosen mantra or prayer, and for each repetition, move to the next bead in the mala, using your thumb to count each repetition. It is recommended to chant your mantra or prayer for at least 108 repetitions, which is the traditional number of beads in a tulsi mala. You can then continue to chant for as long as you like, perhaps even repeating the practice several times throughout the day. Some common mantras used in tulsi mala chanting include "Om Namah Shivaya", "Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare, Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare", and "Gayatri Mantra".
