Respected Mahrajas/ Prabhus,
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

I want to learn how to protect Tulasi Maharani in winter. We have big Tulasi
yard in the garden. But all dies in winter. How to protect?

Your servant,
Akrura Nandan Das

pour very little amount of water. only one cup to a plant let sunrays reach there.

It would be better for Tulsi to be in a pot in areas where winter presides, and bring her inside.

Or you can try building a tent around Tulsi Devi...

A Vaishnava in northern Europe mailed me he has also big Tulasis in his garden and like in Nepal they seem to disappear during winter but grow again at the same place around Mai, like an annual flower.

He says he put many manjaris in the ground and as soon it gets warmer they start to grow. Seems like the rootstock remains in good order.

We have right now around 25 F, very cold, but my Tulasi is ok, I'm using a fluorescent lamp in the morning and evening.
