Guest guest Posted November 6, 2005 Report Share Posted November 6, 2005 Om Namo Bhagvathe Rudrayah! It is advisable to get "black" tulsi beads which is Krishna Tulsi and has a lot of spirtitual growth effect. The Vishnu tulsi beads are commonly available.

Guest guest Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 To my experience cultivating black tulasi plants are very much harder than white tulasi. The black tulasi taste much stronger than the white tulasi. Remember my grandma use to give me the juice of tulasi, whenever i had fever or flu in my younger days. She always tells me that no snake's will come near a tulasi plant. Have not tested. Padma Puranam has a great deal about tulasi devi. There are many does and don't for tulasi that we can't follow 100% in this modern countries and not forgetting, we are staying in flats. If you have a tulasi plant at home or at your corridor, be happy about it. And do the best you can do. Yours George Pillai Pradeep Balakrishnan <balakrishnanpradeep > wrote: Hari Om! Haribol!
