Haribol Posted 7 hours ago Today I’ve been given a tulsi (holy Basel) to raise Quote Tulasi has been used in Ayurvedic and Siddhapractices for its supposed medicinal properties.[21][22] Tulasi is a sacred plant for Hindus, particularly the Vaishnavite sect. It is worshipped as the avatar of Lakshmi,[citation needed] and is often planted in courtyards of Hindu houses or temples to Hanuman.[23] The ritual lighting of lamps each evening during Kartik includes the worship of the tulsi plant.[24][25] Vaishnavites are also known as "those who bear the tulsiaround the neck".[23] Tulasi Vivaha is a ceremonial festival performed between Prabodhini Ekadashi (the 11th or 12thlunar day of the bright fortnight of the Hindu month of Kartika) and Kartik Purnima (the full moon of the month).[26][27] Every evening, Odia and Bengali Hindus place earthen lamps in front of tulsi plants. During the Kati Bihu festival celebrated in Assam, people light earthen lamps (diya) at the foot of the household tulsi plants and pray.[28] Here she is: As you can see, she is a newborn baby girl, but one day she will reach the heavens. Perhaps she might let us join her, when she has become youthfully mature, and we’ve become old 💐 I think I will call her Emma, but open for suggestions. How does one nurture this sacred seed, and will you raise her with me? Sincerly, Your local schizo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
