TULSI KANTHI MALA
With great spiritual and cultural significance, the Tulsi Kanthi Mala is a sacred necklace crafted from the wood of the Tulsi plant (Ocimum sanctum) in Hinduism. Loved for both its therapeutic and spiritual qualities, Tulsi is thought to be the earthly embodiment of the goddess Tulsi, who was Lord Vishnu's beloved companion.
Many benefits, such as spiritual protection, physical and mental purification, and increased devotion, are said to come from wearing a Tulsi Kanthi Mala.
The mala typically consists of 108 beads, symbolizing the 108 Upanishads, although variations exist. These beads are intricately strung together, often with a larger bead known as the "Meru" bead, signifying the start and end of the mala.
Apart from its spiritual significance, Tulsi Kanthi Mala is believed to have healing properties. Tulsi is renowned for its antibacterial, antiviral, and anti-inflammatory qualities, which can contribute to overall health and well-being. The Tulsi Kanthi Mala is essentially more than simply a piece of jewellery; it represents faith, dedication, and the enduring bond between the wearer and the holy.
In a world increasingly dominated by synthetic medicine and fast-paced lifestyles, the resurgence of traditional healing herbs is more than a trend—it's a return to roots. Among these revered botanical wonders, the Tulsi plant (also known as Holy Basil) stands tall as a symbol of wellness, spirituality, and natural healing. Known as the “Queen of Herbs” in Ayurveda, Tulsi is not just a plant—it's a pharmacy in a pot.
A Sacred Herb with a Rich Legacy
For over 5,000 years, Tulsi has been an integral part of Indian households and Ayurvedic medicine. Revered in Hindu culture as the earthly manifestation of the goddess Lakshmi, Tulsi is more than sacred—it's life-enhancing. Ancient texts describe it as "elixir of life", capable of promoting longevity, enhancing vitality, and restoring balance in the body.
Nutritional Powerhouse Tulsi is rich in: - Vitamin A and C - Calcium, Zinc, and Iron - Phytonutrients and essential oils: These constituents work synergistically to boost immunity, fight infections, and detoxify the body.
Natural Relief for Common Ailments
Here’s how Tulsi acts as a natural remedy for a wide range of everyday health issues:
1. Coughs, Colds & Respiratory Infections Tulsi is a potent expectorant and decongestant. Its antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties help clear mucus, soothe sore throats, and combat respiratory infections. A warm Tulsi tea can work wonders during cold seasons.
2. Stress and Anxiety As an adaptogen, Tulsi helps the body adapt to stress. It lowers cortisol levels, calms the nervous system, and promotes mental clarity—naturally fighting anxiety, fatigue, and even depression.
3.Digestive Troubles Tulsi supports healthy digestion by promoting the secretion of digestive enzymes and reducing bloating, gas, and acidity. It also helps regulate metabolism, making it beneficial for weight management.
4. Skin and Hair Health For its antibacterial and antifungal properties, Tulsi can treat acne, skin rashes, and scalp infections. Tulsi paste applied to the skin or consumed regularly helps purify the blood and give the skin a natural glow.
5. Immunity Booster
Tulsi is a natural immunomodulator. Regular consumption increases the body’s resistance to infections by enhancing the immune response and detoxifying the blood.
6. Diabetes and Heart Health Tulsi helps regulate blood sugar levels and improves lipid metabolism. Its anti-inflammatory compounds also support heart health by reducing cholesterol and controlling blood pressure.
Ways to Use Tulsi
Tulsi Tea : Boil fresh or dried leaves in water with ginger and honey. Tulsi Juice : Freshly extracted juice can be consumed daily for immunity. Tulsi Oil : Useful for skin and scalp application. Tulsi Supplements : Available as capsules or tinctures for consistent dosing.
What makes Tulsi truly miraculous is not just its healing properties, but its accessibility and sustainability. It grows easily in pots, gardens, and balconies, requiring minimal care and offering maximum benefits.
Conclusion : The Eternal Healer
In an era where people are seeking cleaner, safer alternatives to synthetic medications, the Tulsi plant emerges as a timeless remedy grounded in nature’s wisdom. Its holistic benefits , spiritual significance, and preventive power make it more than a cure—it’s a way of life. Embracing Tulsi is not just about healing the body; it’s about restoring balance, harmony, and health the way nature intended.

Andal amman, the great tamil bhakti poetess is one of my inspirations for madhurya bhava after Meerabai, she's the one who gets it!
Lord Ranganatha of Srirangam married Andal, who then merged with his idol. This divine marriage is celebrated annually.

I simply don't understand the need for this. What makes them think that neglecting basic sanitation can be replaced by ruining our most precious cultural heritage? And with what? Buildings with such poor infrastructure that will likely collapse in a few years? No, thank you. We have far superior architecture from centuries ago that embodies not only power and strength but also faith and respect for the Dhaam!
Dear government, Ensuring basic sanitation facilities and holding accountability for our heritage and faith sites would be more than enough.
Maine na jaane kis muhurat pe kanna ko bola ki
Kanna, mujhse khub kaam karwao khub khub. Aisa karo, jab bhi mummy logo ko kaam karwana ho toh sirf meko pukare
Ab toh haalat aisi ho gayi hai ki
Puja karne baithu, toh bhi pukarte lagte hai 😭
Krishna: you asked for it 😏 😛
Tbh I was scolded ki tum kuch kaam nahi karti...
:')
Ishaaron Ishaaron Mein Dil Lene Wale
Bata Ye Hunar Tune Sikha Kaha Se
Bas aage ki lines gaane aap chale aate toh anand dugna hojata aajata ❤️
Not everyone with our blu boi's names are green flags .... :')
Me: krishna ye yaad dila dena
Krishna: *makes me remember that thing every half an hour*
Me: krishna ye yaad dilana, but thode time baad. Taki clue mile ki you agree with this
Krishna: *raat ko nind khol ke yaad dilaying*
Yet
After all
This
Me: krishna kabhi toh clue diya karo ki prem karte ho. Chalo ek phool gira ke dedo
Krishna: 😐😌🤪
No.
