BHAKTI INCARNATE

Tulsi-devi (Vrinda-devi is the second name of the goddess) is one of the highest devotees of the Lord. Numerous scriptures emphasize the importance of obtaining her grace on the spiritual path. We offer a Tulsi leaf every puja to the Lord so that she may give Her Intercession and bless us with more devotion.

DID YOU KNOW?

Long before Krishna’s incarnation, Vrinda-devi had incarnated as a daughter of the emperor. She performed penances, so that Sriman Narayana would become her husband. Pleased by this, the Lord gave a blessing that all the penances performed in Vrindavan would be very powerful. So, Vrinda-devi had made this place holy, and it became known as Vrindavan. “Van” means “forest”, and Vrindavan is “Vrinda’s forest”. Vrindavan is under the control of Vrinda-devi. Without her grace, it is impossible to approach the sacred leelas of Radha Krishna.

WHAT TO EXPECT

This year we will be celebrating Tulsi Vivaha with special bhajans, Abhishekam, and a wedding ceremony between Tulsi and Shaligram
