Tulasi The Holy Basil

 

Tulasi is considered one of the most sacred plants. Beheld as a form of

the Divine Mother, Tulasi Devi is believed to give both material and

spiritual benefits

 

Amma says: Tulasi leaves are highly medicinal. In ancient India, part of

the daily practice was to water the Tulasi every morning for Her

blessings, bowing down with reverent e and devotion, worshiping Her as

an embodiment of the Goddess. We must revive such practices in order to

regain the lost harmony of our lives."

 

/GtreenFriends/ is encouraging the re-awakening of such ancient

traditions that allow Luis to behold the Divine within Nature, and to

cultivate an attitude of love and reverence towards all Aspects of the

creation

 

/Tulasi is an invaluable component of Ayurvedic Herbal Medicine./

 

 

The Medicinal benefits of Tulasi

 

.. A tea made of Tulasi leaves (containing Vitamin C, calcium and

phosphorous) relieves cough, colds, headaches, fever and improves stamina.

.. Tulasi leaves mixed with ginger relieve stomach disorders.

.. Tulasi aids diabetes, heart disease, malaria, improves eyesight, and

is used for inflammation.

.. A paste of Tulasi root is an antidote to snake and scorpion bites.

..Tulasi oil can be used as an insect repellent, an antiseptic, and

soothes insect bites.

Ancient tradition proclaims that worshiping the Tulasi plant will bring

peace, prosperity and happiness into family life, purify the

atmosphere, and awaken devotion. The traditional prayers or mantras for

the practice are as follows:

 

 

Worship the /Tulasi Devi in the morning with the:

Tulasi Pranamma mantra

Vrindayai Tulasi-devyai

Priyayai keshavasya Devi

Vishnu-bhakti-prade devi

Satya-vatyai namo namah

/I offer my prayers to Tulasi Devi

Who is very dear to Lord Krishna

Oh Goddess, You bestow devotion

and posess the hightst truth.

 

/Go around the plant four times, offering water while chanting the:

Tulasi Pradakshina Mantra:

Yani kani cha papani

Brama-hatyadikani cha

Tani tani pranasyanti

pradakshina pade pade.

/By circumbulating Tulasi Devi

All sins committed are destroyed at every step.

Instructions for Growing Tulasi

Plant seeds indoors in small pots or seeding trays. Any seedling soil

mix from a nursery should be fine. Plant seeds 1-2 centemeters deep.

Keep evenly moist at all times in a very warm place. Water must be

sprinkled by hand lightly. Do not let surface of soil become dry.

Seedlings should emerge between 3-4 weeks. Wait until plants have more

than 10 leaves before transplanting to bigger pots. Be careful not to

disturb roots by taking the original soil along with it. If growing

outdoors, wait six weeks, and plant in a very sunny place in moist,

rich, well-draining soil. Tulasi will not grow in the cold, so you may

wish to grow in a pot indoors in a sunny window. Pinch off flowering

buds to encourage new growth, and to keep Tulasi from going to seed.

This will allow the plant to grow longer. Otherwise you can allow the

plant to go to seed, and plant new plants from seed or cuttings.

Namah Shivaya

Ours came from San Ramon in June. In November they were selling plants

and seeds there.

Is there a GreenFriends section on the Amma.org web site? Otherwise I

have no clue.

It smells beautiful - very pungent and sweet. Now it is pretty dormant

and we are trying

to milk it thru the winter - keeping our fingers crossed and asking

Tulasi to stay..

Jai Ma
