I don’t know if the Tulsi really protects you or not but I find that when my Tulsi does well, things go well in the house. Equally when it starts looking sickly, there are a fiew ups and downs

Yeah, Thulasi is considered holy. People do believe that this plant has some relation with the Gods and we take good care of it. Thanks for stopping by, Sunita. 🙂

Yes, it is considered holy. And yes, it isn’t seen as much as it was used to. I hope your wish will be fulfilled, Angela. 🙂

Loved the way your words perfectly compliment the shot of the Tulasi plant. I have them in my balcony garden too.

That’s great to hear. In Kerala, all houses from the previous generations had this Thulasithara in the front-yard. Now with more flats popping up everywhere, these are going to become non-existent soon.

Tulsi is such a pleasant plant. So life giving and so therapeutic too! I so wish I didn’t kill them the way I do. 😦 Love the little verse there, Vinitha.

Yes, it is. It has a soothing aroma and we use it in making ‘chukkukaapi’. But, why do you kill them? Why, Shailaja, why?

Tulsi is a must in our households. Though it’s difficult to grow plants in US due to cool weather, I took one plant recently. Hope it grows well.

Yes, most of the houses in Kerala had Tulsi when we were growing up. Now its presence is becoming lesser. We use it for making ‘chukkukaappi’, very healthy. I know, it’s hard for the plant to grow in cold weather. All the best for your Tulsi plant, Ramya.
