?? Who Can Wear Tulasi Neckbeads? The following authoritative quotes should put to rest all rumors taboos and speculations regardingthis question. Bhagavan Sri Krishna Himself states that ANYONE CAN WEAR TULASI kanthi mala. There are no restrictions! The wearing of tulasi neckbeads (tulasi kanthi mala) simply depends on ones personal sense of allegiance to his beliefs duty or simply as a matter of inspiration if he/she wants to do so. Srila Sanatana Goswamipada calls this a taste or attraction to wear them (yatha ruchi) HBV: 4.308. In Vishnu Dharmottara Bhagavan Sri Krishna says Without a doubt ANYONE who wears tulasi neckbeads even if he/she is unclean or of bad character will surely attain Me. (ashauco anacharo mam eva iti na samshaya) HBV: 4.322. The following quote from a book titled Associates of Sri Chaitanya says that Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura gave tulasi neckbeads to a Calcutta industrialist who had neither diksha nor the most exemplary behavior: Mr. S.K. Ghosh who often visited Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura at his residence called Bhakti Bhavana. Under the direction of Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura Mr. Ghosh started wearing a tulasi mala around his neck although he was not able to accept the principles of Vaishnava behavior in their entirety.In addition an Iskcon publication titled Vaisnava Etiquette quoting Hari-bhakti Vilasa states: The Padma Purana states regardless of whether one is an impure or pure state ONE SHOULD ALWAYS WEAR TULASI MALA. And one should never take it off even when bathing eating or passing stool and urine. In other words tulasi beads are always pure and purify anyone who contacts them.
