Tulasi Pooja at home with Tulasi Gayathri Mantra Lyrics in Tamil, Hindi and English

Tulasi or the Holy Basil is a plant that holds high religious significance. The Tulasi plant is believed to be an incarnation of Goddess Lakshmi. The plant is loved by Lord Vishnu and is used in all His prayers and poojas. The Tulasi plant also removes all the negative energy from the house and fills the home with positive vibes. The plant is considered to remove any Vastu defect in the house. Regularly doing Tulasi pooja at home ensures that the inmates of the house get unobstructed divine blessings of Goddess Lakshmi.

• Keep the place where you have placed the Tulasi clean and tidy. It is advised not to keep things like brooms, mops, and dustbin near the holy Basil.
• Apply turmeric/sandalwood paste and kumkum in a few leaves of the plant.
• Offer few flowers for the plant.
• Light a dhiya and do aarti, light incense sticks or sambhrani.
• Water the plant with water from a silver or copper pot.
• Pray devotionally by chanting “Om Namo Narayanaya”, ” Hare Krishna”, or Tulasi Gayatri Mantra listed below.
• If there is place (considering you are in a villa or independent house), make 3 rounds around the Tulasi plant.

I came across one more Tulasi Gayatri Mantra too online which is as follows:

• The holy Tulasi Plant has to be placed in the North-East corner of the house to gain maximum benefits. If you have the Tulasi plant in a balcony, place it in the north-east corner of that balcony.
• Tulasi can be placed in the pots particularly designed for keeping Tulasi plants or in the regular gardening pots.
• Tulasi plants can be placed either in the front yard of the house or in the backyard.
