Question on Shrimati Tulsi Maharaniji's Puja

[Guest guest]

Hari Bol! Please, if you could, provide references

for the beautiful prayers that you had cited for

Shrimati Tulsiji's puja. Also, a lot of families in

North India observe Sunday as the day of Shri Tulsi

Deviji's day of rest. Therefore, they will not pluck

any leaves not offer Her water. Some will not even

offer Her any puja. Please clarify.

Tulasi leaves and manjaris should not be picked on the

dvadasi day, the day after ekadasi as this is her

day of rest. If the ekadasi fast is indicated to

be a maha-dvadasi then she should not be pick on the

day of fasting. The mantra for picking tulasi is:

(om) tulasy-amrita janmasi

sada tvam kesava-priya

kesav-artham cinomi tvam

vara da bhava sobhane

"O Tulasi, you are born from nectar. You are

always

very dear to Lord Kesava. Now in order to worship

Lord Kesava, I am collecting your leaves and

manjaris. Please bestow your benediction on me."
