Tulsi or The Holy Basil is a fragrant Indian herb that is highly revered in Hindu culture. It is essential in the worship of Bhagwan Vishnu and all his avatars. Tulsi plant can be found in most of the Hindu households.
Hindu houses are believed to be incomplete without Tulsi.
According to Hindu Scriptures Tulsi is an incarnation of Vrinda who was the wife of Demon https://t.co/BRZgPaboBS per Puranic scriptures, Demon Jallandhar was a very ardent devotee of Bhagwan Vishnu.
Bhagwan Shiv killed Vrinda's husband Jallandhar in a battle. Vrinda was a righteous woman even though her husband was a demon. So, Bhagwan Shiva gave her a boon of taking rebirth as Tulsi, which would be considered one of the greatest medicinal plants in the world.
Bhagwan Vishnu also promised her that any prayer to him would be incomplete without Tulsi leaves.
There is also a mention of Tulsi in the historic event of 'Samudra Manthana' when the churning of cosmic oceans was carried out by Gods & Demons in order to get Amrit.
It is noted that when Dhanvantari-The God of Medicine emerged from the ocean carrying the Amrit, Bhagwan Vishnu shed the tears of joy which flew into the Amrit & transformed into Tulsi.
In Bhagvat Geeta, there is a story of Bhagwan Krishna being weighed in Gold.
