Sankirtana Lila (Black Strap) Japa Bag – Hare Krishna Bead Bag, Large (31 cm)

Sri Chaitanya took the holy name out of the temples and into the streets, and five hundred years later devotees are still doing exactly that — in London, New York, Moscow and Tel Aviv, with a mridanga, a few pairs of karatalas and no embarrassment whatsoever. These scenes are the strongest work in the shop.

This is the Sankirtana Lila (Black Strap) artwork on a japa bead bag. The bag is sewn from printed cotton with a separate finger pocket, a neck strap and a drawstring closure, in the large size, about 31 cm, for big neem malas or for chanting with the whole hand inside the bag. Japa bags are stitched in small batches and ship from our own stock. Hand wash cool and air-dry.
