Thulasi(Thiru Thuzaai) Available All Over US

[Guest guest]

Sri Raamajayam

 

Dear Bhagavathaas,

AdiyEn derived great joy in meeting Bhagavathaas in NJ, last

year. To the pleasant surprise of AdiyEn, Lord Srinivasa was decked in garlands

of Thulasi at the temple in Boston. AdiyEn being curious, how the temple could

possibly manage to grow such "rich thulasi" there, proceeded to ask

Sri.Muralidhar Rangaswamy Swamin, about the source. Well the source is a

Vietnamese Shop, which Vietnamese use for cooking(well that reminds me, a

Italians adoring Basilikum, a close sister of Thulasi for most of their

culinaries).

 

Well this happened several months back, and AdiyEn returned to Bay Area, without

further investigation on this topic locally. Last weekend AdiyEn made an effort

to visit local Vietnamese Grocer, and it was gratifying to find FRESH THULASI

LEAVES bunched and sold for mere 50cents for a fairly large bunch. The whole

of this week, was gratifying with Nitya Aaradhanai decorating our Divya

Dhampathi's, Acharya Paadhukai with the Fresh Thulasi(fresher than what is

available in shops at Madras & elsewhere).

 

Wanted to share this knowledge with you, so that Temples/homes can benefit from

this facility.
