(Tulsim kanthsmlagnam visrgãdhyepi na tyajet.<br />

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 />

However, let us try to know as to what is the<br />

purpose in wearing the two-lined-rosary(Bevadi<br />

Kanthi) in <strong>Shree</strong> <strong>Swaminarayan</strong> Sampraday.<br />

(Shri rãdhãkrishñãkhya yugalaswaroopopãsakatva<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).
