Wearing mala and chanting mala: why devotees keep them separate
A neck kanthi and a japmala serve different purposes, so many devotees prefer to keep one mala for wearing and another for japa.
A neck kanthi is made for wearing. A japmala is made for counting mantras. Keeping them separate helps each mala stay true to its purpose.
This is especially useful if you wear Tulsi all day and also sit for naam japa. One mala remains light on the neck, while the other stays reserved for chanting.
