Answer

Traditionally, Jains do not wear a tulsi kanthi mala as a Jain religious practice.

Explanation

Tulsi is deeply associated with Hindu devotional tradition, while Jain devotion follows Jain symbols and practices such as:

• Navkar Mantra
• Panch Parmeshthi
• respect for the Tirthankars
• simple, non-attachment-based worship

So, a tulsi kanthi mala is not considered a standard Jain mala.

Spiritual Understanding

In Jain Dharma, the main focus is on purity of conduct, right faith, non-violence, and inner devotion rather than wearing symbols from other traditions. If someone wears it only as a personal ornament, that is a different matter, but it is not a Jain religious practice.

Takeaway

For Jain spiritual use, it is better to choose practices and symbols that are traditionally Jain, such as a Navkar mala or simple remembrance of the Navkar Mantra.
