tulasi

Where's His pramana for that? Did you accept that statement he made on his

personal oppinion without pramana?

 

Pujari's and really all devotees who give siksa must give pramanas. and

sastra pramana is the usual standard. then guru and sadhus pramana which

should expain and comment on the quoted sastra pramana.

 

(1) is that pujari saying that Krsna is not in the picture and so Krsna

there does not need tulasi leaves to eat?

 

I quoted Padma purana pramana, "krsna will not eat or drink without tulasi"

unless he's got pramana for not using tulasi leaves on pictures, If one has

access to dry tulasi leaves one should certainly use it.

 

if Krsna is non different from His photo, and all vishnu tattva require

tulasi leaves, then why not put tulasi? of course if you have no tulasi, you

can touch a dry stick of tulasi wood to each item as a sanga of tulasi, wash

off the stick and re-use it again. or mentally put leaves on it, but really,

if one has dried leaves they should use it.
