Tulsi Puja Niyam: In Hinduism, it is believed that having a Tulsi plant in the home bestows the blessings of Goddess Lakshmi upon the family. Furthermore, the house also maintains a peaceful atmosphere. Therefore, offering water to the Tulsi plant every morning after bathing, lighting a ghee lamp, and offering prayers to it bring auspicious results.
Rules for Tulsi Worship
However, if a woman is menstruating, she is considered impure. Therefore, she should not worship Tulsi during this time. According to beliefs, doing so also defiles Tulsi Mata.
If a woman harbours negative thoughts, she should also refrain from worshipping Tulsi. This is because Goddess Lakshmi does not accept the worship of such women.
Women should follow the rules of Tulsi worship. It is said that worshipping Tulsi on Ekadashi is considered auspicious. However, one should not offer water to the Tulsi plant on this day, nor should one pluck its leaves. This is because the Tulsi fast is observed on Ekadashi, and therefore, it is broken. Doing so can also incite the wrath of Goddess Lakshmi.
These things should not be kept even by mistake.
- Goddess Lakshmi resides in a clean place, and therefore, shoes, slippers, brooms, or dirty clothes should not be kept near the Tulsi plant in the house. Tulsi should also not be touched with dirty hands.
- These benefits are obtained from Tulsi worship.
- According to beliefs, worshipping Tulsi always brings prosperity to the home.
- Blessings of Lord Vishnu and Goddess Lakshmi are also received.
- Happiness and prosperity also come to the home.
- One gets rid of evil forces.
