We should not give up wearing the Tulsi<br />
rosary(Kanthi) at any time, at any location, under<br />
any circumstances. By its very nature, the<br />
rosary(Kanthi) can never become polluted or unholy,<br />
because it is essentally, the sacred form of<br />
‘Bramhan’. That it is to say, that the<br />
Rosary(Kanthi) is ever as holy as Brahman, and<br />
hence it can never become tainted or polluted.<br />

purpose in wearing the two-lined-rosary(Bevadi<br />
Kanthi) in <strong>Shree</strong> <strong>Swaminarayan</strong> Sampraday.<br />

The double lined rosary is perceived as a<br />
of Radha and Shri Krishna being together, thus<br />
indicating the worship of Shri Krishna with His<br />
consort Radha (i.e Lord Narayan with Shri.<br />
Lakshmi).
