Guest guest Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 Dear Devotees, here i am sending you the tulasi pranam , Sri Tulasi Pradaksina Mantra, & Asta-Nama-Stava from the Padma Purana. Sri Tulasi Pranama vrndayai tulasi-devyai priyayai kesavasya ca krsna-bhakti-prade devi satyavatyai namo namah vrndayai--unto Vrnda; tulasi-devyai--unto Tulasi-devi; priyayai-- who is dear; kesavasya--to Lord Kesava; ca-and; krsna-bhakti-- devotional service to Lord Krsna, prade--who bestows; devi--O goddess; satya- vatyai--unto Satyavati; namah namah--repeated obeisances. I offer my repeated obeisances unto Vrnda, Srimati Tulasi-devi, who is very dear to Lord Kesava. O goddess, you bestow devotional service to Lord Krsna and possess the highest truth. Sri Tulasi Pradaksina Mantra yani kani ca papani brahma-hatyadikani ca tani tani pranasyanti pradaksinah pade pade yani kani--whatever; ca--and; papani--sins; brahma-hatya--killing of a brahmana; adikani--and so on; ca--also, tani tani--all of them; pranasyanti--are destroyed; pradaksinah--(by) the circumambulation (of Tulasi-devi); pade pade--at every step. By the circumambulation of Srimati Tulasi-devi all the sins that one may have committed are destroyed at every step, even the sin of killing a brahmana. Asta-Nama-Stava from the Padma Purana The Eight Names of Vrinda-devi Vrindavani, vrinda, visvapujita, pushpasara, nandini, Krishna-jivani, visva-pavani, tulasi VRINDAVANI - One who first manifested in Vrindavan. VRINDA - The goddess of all plant and trees ( even if one Tulasi plant is present in a forest it can be called Vrindavana.) VISHVAPUJITA - One whom the whole universe worships. PUSHPASARA - The topmost of all flowers, without whom Krishna does not like to look upon other flowers. NANDINI - Seeing whom gives unlimited bliss to the devotees. KRISHNA-JIVANI - The life of Sri Krishna. VISHVA-PAVANI - One who purifies the three worlds. TULASI - One who has no comparison. Anyone while worshiping Tulasi-devi chants these eight names will get the same results as one who performs the Ashvamedha sacrifice. And one who on the full-moon day of Kartika (Tulasi-devi's appearance day) worships Her with this Mantra will break free from the bonds of this miserable world of birth and death, and very quickly attains Goloka Vrndavan. On the full moon-day of Kartik Lord Sri Krishna Himself worships Srimati Tulasi-devi with this Mantra. One who remembers this Mantra will very quickly attain devotion to Lord Krishna's Transcendental Lotus Feet. Hare Krishna May Tulasi Devi bless all of us.
