Tulasi in Hinduism (original) (raw)

dbo:abstract

Tulasi (Sanskrit: तुलसी, romanized: Tulasī), or Vrinda (holy basil) is a sacred plant in Hindu tradition. Hindus regard it as an earthly manifestation of the goddess Tulasi; she is regarded as the avatar of Lakshmi, and thus the consort of the god Vishnu. In another iteration, as Vrinda, she is married to Jalandhara. The offering of its leaves is recommended in ritualistic worship of Vishnu and his avatars, like Krishna and Vithoba. Traditionally, the tulasi is planted in the center of the central courtyard of Hindu houses. The plant is cultivated for religious purposes, and for its essential oil. (en)
Tulasī (devanāgarī तुलसी; anche tulsī, letteralmente: senza eguali) è il sostantivo femminile del sanscrito con cui viene indicata la pianta sacra dell'Ocimum tenuiflorum (anche Ocimum sanctum) o "basilico sacro". La tulasī viene particolarmente venerata dai fedeli viṣṇuiti, in tal senso è collegata al culto di Visnù/Kṛṣṇa /Rāma, è coltivata in speciali contenitori all'interno dei relativi templi o in apposite teche di abitazioni private.

dbp:text

You have been doing penance for a long time to get me as your husband. Your husband Śaṅkhacūḍa was the chief of my Pārṣadas, Sudāmā. It is time for him to go back to Goloka getting himself released from the curse. By this time Śiva would have killed him and he would have gone to Goloka as Sudāmā. You can now abandon your body and come with me to Vaikuṇṭha to enjoy life as my wife. Your body will decay and become a holy river named Gaṇḍakī; your hair will become the Tulasī plant, the leaves of which will be held sacred in all the three worlds. (en)
