  • For initiated devotee it is important to chant on beads.. because it is given by there gurudev. Many time we may see that a  devotee  get no time for chanting,in this situation they may chant by counter for not to lost their habit of chanting. but they have to complete that chanting with beads  again,, It is said by HH Srila Jayapataka Swami Maharaj..

    Hare Krishna :)

    If we are not able to follow some rules at the moment then we have to, really, cry begging forgiveness and pray Krishna to give us chance to follow the rules better in the future.

    Krishna is a Person. He will understand our situation. 

    But we have to try our best to chant on beads - Tulasi beads as here Devotees told. Because Tulasi Maharani helps us to chant better. 

    She is a pure Devotee.

    Your servant, 

  • Yes of course Mataji. It is safe and will allow you to do lesser namapradhas. Taking your Chanting Bag along with Tulsi Beads is not a very healthy habit. In fact Tulsi Mala should be only kept inside your house and can be used for chanting while you stroll or sit within your house. Using the Chanting counter is an extremely viable and positive habit!!

    • Thanks Prabhuji.... Hare Krishna..

      Can we count it 16 round as recommended, if we do chanting with both beads and counter..

      • No mataji; The 16 rounds is recommended to be done on beads some comfortable time as recommended by Srila Prabhupada. The reason is this ; when we start taking up some other process ; there is complacency and the seriousness of chanting is lost. Do use the counter only for additional rounds while traveling etc
