The Glories of Srimati Tulasi Devi by Tridandi Swami Sri Srimad Bhaktivedanta Narayana Maharaja

[In Kuala Lumpur both and this year and last year, (1999), Srila Narayana Maharaja spoke about the glories of Srimati Vrinda Devi in the form of Tulasi. He also spoke about the various rules for worshipping her properly.]

February 1999:

All Vaisnavas, and even non-vaisnavas, pray to Tulasi. If there is anything to offer to Krsna, they offer it with tulasi leaves. And, before beginning to do bhajana and sadhana, they do pranama to Vrinda devi and then beg her mercy. In all auspicious activities, such as arcana etc., Tulasi devi is kept. Even those who are not Vaisnavas offer her water and circumambulate her. The question may be posed as to why this is so.
