" Oh, Narada! Every house, every village, every forest,
wherever the plant of Tulsi is grown, there misery, fear,
disease and poverty do not exist. Tulsi in all aspects and
places is holier than holy. Where the breeze blows throughTulsi plants, it spreads Tulsi's fragrance making the
surrounding area pious and pure. Lord Vishnu and other gods
shower their blessings on the people who worship and grow
Tulsi. Through the worship of Tulsi, the souls of all our
ancestors are pleased and our path to the heavens is opened.
Oh Narada! The three gods, Brahma, Vishnu and Rudra residein the roots, middle parts of the plant and in the flowering
tops respectively. This is why the plant of Tulsi is the most holy
plant of the earth. Those who plant and nurture Tulsi in the
Shiva temple or in any other place of worship, such as
Naimisharayana and Prayag, are twice blessed by the gods.
The offering of Tulsi leaves to Lord Vishnu/ Krishna should beconsidered the best way of worshipping Him. "
