Importance of "Tulasi" Basil in Sanatana Sanskar
Tulsi (Basil) worship is of great importance in Vedic Sanatan Sanskar. For thousands of years, the Sanatan practitioners have been getting up in the morning, pouring water on Tulsi, and bowing down to their daily routine. Basil plants and leaves are important in every Sanatan Sanskar from birth to death. The practice of eating meals only by adding basil leaves and offering them to God is still prevalent in many homes and traditions. It is customary to use the Tulsi Moth (Tulsi idol or Tulsi home) near the courtyard as a sacred place for marriage ceremonies and even death.
Lord Vishnu Wakes up this day
It is believed that Lord Vishnu, who has been fast asleep since Harishyani Ekadashi, wakes up today. Haribodhini Ekadashi is an important Ekadashi, this Ekadashi is also called the biggest Ekadashi or Thuli Ekadashi, because of its glory. This Ekadashi shares an intrinsic attachment with the Tulsi plant.
Importance of Tulasi from Padma Purana
In the Padma Purana, the importance of Tulsi is associated with the asceticism of Binda Devi who came to earth to find Lord Vishnu as her husband. Similarly, the divine qualities of the basil plant are explained in the 19th section of 3 of 5 of Srimaddha Bhagwat Geeta.
Tulasi Bibaha, Ritual, process and Mantra
Formally planted on Harishyani Ekadashi, the basil plant is now matured on Haribodhini Ekadashi. Today, Tulsi is ritually chanted and worshiped at home, and there is a tradition of marrying the Tulsi planted on Ashadh Shukla
