Please accept my humble obeisances.All Glories to Srila Prabhupada, Guru & Gauranga.Hare KrishnaI have a question about the difference between chanting on neem beads and tulasi beads.Lord Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu was born under a neem tree. This wood must also be sacred.But Srimati Tulasi Maharani is also a very dear devotee of Sri Krishna (Caitanya Mahaprabhu).Which is more beneficial to spiritual health ?Please forgive me if I have committed any offense in asking this question.I hope everyone reads this in good health.Hari bol!Your aspiring servant,David

The answer to ur question is that Krishna's pastimes are associated with many things and hence all those things like rivers,hills,stones,trees,forests etc become sacred but Srimati Tulasi devi's glories are beyond all these. Our previous acharyas also have preferred to us to worship Tulasi devi . To use Tulasi beads, watering her, circumbulating her is preferred. This is very important for our spiritual growth.
Yes u r right that since Lord Gaurang was born under Neem Tree but this doesn't make every neem tree worshipable ,only that particular tree is considered divine. But this is not similar with Tulasi Maharani. Where ever we find Tulasi plant it is equally worshipable. Tulasi Maharani is present in Golok Vrindavan also in the form of Vrinda Devi. After Her name only Vrindavan is so called. Her glories are incredible.
