PamhoAll glories to Srila Prabhupada!Dear devotees of the Lord, i was wondering: even if Tulsi or neem beads are the mosta sacred and very dear to vaisnavas, is it good if i chant on beads made of other materials?

To Dean Sri Sri Guru GAuranga Jayatha Raganuga Bhakti is not for beginning bhakti unless there are strong impressions from previous life, and stil in raganuga practice the angas of Bhakti such as , hearing chanting, attending mangal aroti, etc are there, the difference is that they are done to obtain Sri Radha Krishna, and the mood of worship of vraja vasis . If you want to understand raganuga sadhana please study raga vartma chandrika of Srila Visvanatha Cakravati, but first study and read Sila Prabhupada's books and try to understand, raganuga Bhakti is the practice of our line but if you don't understand it then shajiya mood may come, certainly you should move toward that goal first understand clearly, please do not feel anything bad by my words you may be a fully qualified devotee only responding according to your post Hari Bol
