Tulasi Stotram



Tulasi Stotram


Tulasi plant is worshiped since Vedic times. Tulasi leaves is most dear to Lord Krishna. In Bhagavad Gita, Lord Krishna says 

patram puspam phalam toyam yo me bhaktya prayacchati
tad aham bhakty-upahrtam asnami prayatatmanah

This simply means "If one offers Me with love and devotion a leaf, a flower, fruit a water, I will accept it."

The flower that is liked by Lord Krishna is Tulasi.

Bhagavada says "“Although flowering plants like the mandara, kunda, kurabaka, utpala, campaka, arna, punnaga, nagakesara, bakula, lily, and parijata are full of transcendental fragrance, they are still conscious of the austerities performed by Tulasi, for Tulasi is given special preference by the Lord, who garlands Himself with Tulasi leaves.”

Tulasi adorns Lord Krishna's feet and neck.
