I was just thinking today about my beads. Someone said they were going to get me tulasi beads. And I was thinking, “But these beads have been chanted on by Srila Prabhupada.” Then I thought, “But my beads are so worn out. The paint is worn off.” But what is more important in a devotee’s life than his beads, and that his spiritual master has chanted on them. The spiritual master who gave him Hare Krsna has also chanted on his beads. They are blessed.
It’s a benediction. Just like maha-prasadam. Something used by the spiritual master is worshippable. So that’s the significance. And it’s something you can feel. We are appreciating that now. It’s fourteen years since he did it – he only did it once – but they become sacred. Not only has his spiritual master chanted on those beeds but he’s asked him to chant nicely. So he should follow the instructions as he chants.
