The Eternal Love Story: Vishnu and Vrinda
At the heart of Tulsi Vivah lies a poignant tale of devotion and transformation. The story revolves around Vrinda, a devoted wife whose unwavering loyalty to her husband Jalandhar made him invincible. When Lord Vishnu assumed Jalandhar's form to break this protection, Vrinda's curse transformed her into the sacred Tulsi plant.
Moved by her pure devotion and recognizing her spiritual strength, Lord Vishnu declared that Tulsi would forever be dear to him. He promised that she would be worshipped as a goddess and that no Vishnu puja would be complete without Tulsi leaves.
