It does not exist, but at the same time it exists.</font color> If "nothing" is capable of creating something, then it has the ability to think,judge and needs reasons to create something.If so, then nothing is not nothing but something and that something is Krishna.

All this cursing and Krishna turning into shaligram make me wonder if Krishna is punishing himself for his bad karma (spoiling Vrinda devi's chastity)....I know Sri Krishna is free from karma....I need more explanations please...thanks!

<font size="4" color="red" face="monotype corsiva">PAMHO</font> <font color="blue">ORIGIN OF SHALIGRAM</font> According to the Puranas once a fierce battle broke out between Lord Shiva and the demon Jallundhara. They both appeared equally matched with no one ready to lose, and hence the battle continued for a long time. In fact it was not like an ordinary battle between the gods and the demons, but it was a match between the chastities of two chaste women Parvati and Vrinda. Lord Shiva knew it well, that unless the chastity of Vrinda, the wife of Jallundhara, was spoiled, Jallundhara could not be killed. But it was against the nature of gods, they could not spoil the chastity of a chaste woman, Hence despite knowing everything, the gods were helpless, but for Jallundhara, nothing was a taboo. So thinking, that spoiling the chastity of Parvati, he could defeat Lord Shiva, Jallundhara reached Parvati in the guise of Lord Shiva. But Parvati, who is herself the supreme ruler of illusion (MAYA) knew by her virtues the craftiness of Jallundhara. She at once ended his guise and signalled Lord Krishna (Vishnu) that it was now just to spoil the chastity of Jallundhara's wife, Vrinda, and it will not be a sin . So, Lord Krishna approached Vrinda in the guise of Jallundhana. Vrinda could not understand the craftiness, and because of intimate presence her chastity got spoiled. Later on when Vrinda came to know the reality, she got infuriated and cursed Lord Krishna - O Lord, despite being a learned God you have behaved like stupids. So go and turn into shapeless black stone. Thus by the curse of a chaste woman Lord Krishna turned into a blackstone. But later on Vrinda felt guilty that at the surge of excitement she had cursed none other than her own tutelary deity. Thus begging pardon of God, she sought a boon that from that moment onward, God will be worshipped in the same stone form. Saying Tathastu, God accepted her curse and turned into a black stone, and came to be known as Shaligrama. As Shaligram, idol of God is found in innumerable numbers on the bed of the river Gandaki (Gandaka) these Shaligramas are same in size to an areca nut and also round in shape. <font color="blue">ORIGIN OF TULSI (BASIL)</font> Having cursed by Vrinda, Lord Vishnu cursed her back that as she had cursed him to become a black stone, So I curse you to become a tree. In tree form also you will be known as Tulsi and without your worship, mine worship will not be complete. Since then formal worship of Shaligrama began, and Tulsi leaves are specifically offered on it to complete the worship. <font color="navy">*******************************</font> <marquee><font colour="orange" size="5">Is all of this true????</font></marquee>

_________ I'm not sure I understand your question, unless you're asking whether all varieties of Tulasi are worshipable and offerable to Vishna-tattva DEities. _________ yes that is exactly my question /images/graemlins/smile.gif....so like you said, no matter what color it is as long it is Thulasi then it is worshipable right?....thanks! is there any thulasi forest in this world? /images/graemlins/tongue.gif.....imagine chanting and dancing in the middle of the forest, surrounded by millions of thulasi trees....!!!!
