suchandra Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 Nice video by David Bruce Hughes, http://www.esotericteaching.org/blog/2008/02/12/how-to-do-tulasi-puja/ How to do Tulasi Puja Posted 02.12.08 in Esoteric Teaching, Podcasts at 10:44 pm by David Bruce Hughes Tulasi-puja is a simple but ecstatic form of transcendental devotional service. Tulasi-devi is a pure devotee of Visnu or Krsna in the form of a plant. She can give pure devotion to the aspiring devotees. There is a nice prayer to Tulasi-devi: “O Tulasī, beloved of Kṛṣṇa, I bow before you again and again. My desire is to obtain the service of Śrī Śrī Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa. Whoever takes shelter of you has his wishes fulfilled. Bestowing your mercy on him, you make him a resident of Vṛndāvana. My desire is that you will also give me a residence in the pleasure groves of Śrī Vṛndāvana-dhāma. Thus within my vision I will always behold the beautiful pastimes of Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa. I beg you to make me a follower of the cowherd damsels of Vraja. Please give me the privilege of devotional service and make me your own maidservant. This very fallen and lowly servant of Kṛṣṇa prays, “May I always swim in the love of Śrī Śrī Rādhā and Govinda.” When a person circumambulates Śrīmatī Tulasī-devī, all the sins he may have committed are destroyed at every step, even the sin of killing a brāhmaṇa.” <embed scale="aspect" cache="true" bgcolor="000000" autoplay="true" controller="true" src="http://esotericteaching.org/content/video/courses/How%20to%20do%20Tulasi%20Puja.mov" type="video/quicktime" pluginspage="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/" height="240" width="320"> How to do Tulasi Puja: Hide Player | Play in Popup | Download Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
