Mother of Tulsi

Mother of Tulsi

According to Bhagwat Purana this is the complete story of Mata Tulsi

A story related to Tulsi is very popular. In the Srimad Devi Bhagavata Purana, a divine Leela story of their incarnation has also been made. Once Shiva threw his light into the sea. A great boy was born to him. This child later became the mighty monster king in the name of Jalandhar. The name of its capital was Jalandhar city.
Vrinda, the daughter of Daityaraja Kalnemi, was married to Jalandhar. Jalandhar was Maharaksas. He fought with the desire to get Mata Lakshmi under his power, but due to being born from the sea, Mata Lakshmi accepted him as her brother. Defeated from there, he went to Mount Kailash, craving to find Goddess Parvati.

Lord Devadhdev took the form of Shiva and went near to Goddess Parvati, but the mother immediately recognized him with her yoga force and disappeared from there.
Goddess Parvati got angry and narrated the entire episode to Lord Vishnu. Jalandhar's wife Vrinda was a very devoted woman. Jalandhar was neither killed nor defeated by the power of his husband's religion. That is why it was very important to dissolve Vrinda's husbandry religion in order to destroy Jalandhar.

That is why Lord Vishnu disguised as a sage and went to the forest, where Vrinda was traveling alone. The Lord was also accompanied by two elusive demons, upon which Vrinda became frightened. The sage devoured both of them in front of Vrinda. Seeing his power, Vrinda asked about her husband Jalandhar, who was at war with Mahadev on Mount Kailash.
The sage reveals two apes from his Maya trap. One monkey had Jalandhar's head in his hand and torso in the other's hand. Vrinda fell unconscious after seeing this condition of her husband. Upon regaining consciousness, she begged the sage-god to resurrect her husband.

God again connected Jalandhar's head with his illusion, but he himself entered the same body. Vrinda had no idea of ​​this trick. Vrinda began to behave with devotion to the God who became Jalandhar, disrupting her sattva. As soon as this happened, Vrinda's husband lost in the Jalandhar war.
When Vrinda came to know about all this Leela, she became angry and cursed Lord Vishnu to be Shila and became Sati herself. Where Vrinda was consumed, the basil plant grew. Lord Vishnu said to Vrinda, "O Vrinda. You have loved me more than Lakshmi because of your Sattva. Now you will always be with me as Tulsi. Anyone who marries Tulsi with my Shaligram form will get immense fame in this world and the hereafter. '
In the house where Tulsi is there, even Yama's messengers cannot go untimely. Bathing in the waters of the Ganges and Narmada and worshiping Tulsi is considered equal. No matter how sinful a human being is, at the time of death, whose soul is taken out of the basil and Ganga water in his mouth, he gets rid of sins and gets to Vaikunth Dham. A person who performs his ancestors' shraddha in the shadow of Tulsi and Amla, attains salvation.
This land of the same monster Jalandhar is known as Jalandhar. The temple of Sati Vrinda is located in Mohalla Kot Kishanchand. It is said that there was an ancient cave at this place, which went straight to Haridwar. Worshiping the temple of Sati Vrinda Devi for 40 days with true mind fulfills all desires.
