IS4A Natural Hare Krishna Tulsi Wood Holy Basil Mala 108+1 Hindu Japa Necklaces Meditation Beads Rosary

This is my second set of beads from this seller. They arrived quickly.You can see the care and detail put into each bead and knot between. The color and quality are just as pictured.I highly recommend this product.

Not to comfortable to wear..Size of the wood pieces are to small and maybe this is why they are Rough on the neck..

Was excited to have this for meditation practiceUnfortunately a few beads broke off easily

The construction of this japmaala is to use a tiny ‘separator’ bead between tulsi beads, which makes sense. Except that the separator beads are not always used between each pair of tulsi beads. So the tulsi beads are almost stuck to each other. Since tulsi beads are small and uneven, it makes it difficult to move from 1 bead to the other or even to pry them loose. In addition the separator bead is so tiny that it doesn’t serve the purpose of separating, which then defeats the purpose of using it as a japmaala.The string on the bag is flimsy and came out in first couple of tries. Very flimsy.

These kind of items need to be photographed next to a coin or stamp for scale. This appeared a lot larger in the photo. I feel there was some deception here. This is a very difficult mala to chant Japa on because it is so dainty. It is not the standard Japa mala size though it was advertised here as Japa mala. It is more for adornment.

Not worth the $7 at all. I wasn’t expecting too much because it was cheap, but good grief, don’t even sell stuff if it’s going to look that bad. Looks like yarn and the beads are super tiny. You can’t even twist the beads. Just very very cheap. I won’t get it again if it was free. Absolutely worthless.

Very rough, tassel fell two days.

I ended up returning this. It’s very itchy and annoying to wear constantly poking and scratching your neck. Leaving a rash-like redness around your neck.
