Spiritual strings are an important accessory in the worshipping system of many religions of this world. They are thought to be working like a link to Supreme power. Hinduism, Buddhism and Islam have a conspicuous place of spiritual strings.

Spiritual strings perform two basic functions. First, they are worn on the different body parts like neck, arm and wrists as something very sacred. Secondly, strings help in the counting process of the holy name of God. In Hinduism, various mantras are recited either verbally or non-verbally and the beads of the strings help in counting the number of recitals. The importance of numbers is immense in certain religious and spiritual practices. Generally a string is made of 108 beads. This number is considered holy in Hindu and Buddhist belief system.

The material with which the spiritual string is made is also significant as different materials have distinct medicinal effects. For example, rudraksha strings are helpful in controlling the blood pressure and keeping the mind cool of the person wearing them. Similarly the tulsi (Ocimum sanctum) and sphatik (crystal) strings also have the medicinal powers.

Fashion industry has also assimilated spiritual strings as the accessories to wear, banking their dual appeal of looking good and doing good. You can see the magnitude in which fashion freaks are wearing spiritual strings. This inclination has commercialized the spiritual strings on a big scale.

After the commercialization of strings, they are available to the buyers on retail as well as wholesale. India Handicraft Store provides you spiritual strings and other yoga accessories on wholesale rates.
