Tulsi is not just a plant, it is the Lakshmi of the house, know the mistakes due to which Goddess Lakshmi can get angry.

News India Live, Digital Desk: We all definitely have a small Tulsi plant in our homes. Offering water to it and lighting lamps in the morning and evening is a part of our Indian culture. We do not consider it just a plant, but worship it as ‘Tulsi Maa’. But do you know that many people are unaware of the rules for keeping it at home? Often we make such small mistakes that instead of bringing positivity in the house, bitterness and problems start increasing.

Today we will talk about some such things, which are very important for the peace and prosperity of your home.

Right choice of direction is most important
Many people keep Tulsi anywhere, whereas according to Vastu and Shastras, the best place to keep Tulsi is considered to be North or North-East (Ishan corner). It is said that keeping Tulsi in this direction keeps the inflow of money in the house. Do not keep a Tulsi plant in the south direction, because it is considered the direction of ancestors and a plant kept here can cause mental stress.

Take special care of cleanliness
Tulsi plant is very sensitive. Do not keep things like shoes, slippers, broom or dustbin near the place where you keep Tulsi. Mother Tulsi loves cleanliness very much. Keeping the plant in a dirty place not only causes the plant to dry up, but also increases the chances of poverty inhabiting the house.

What is the right time to pluck leaves?
We often pluck basil leaves to add to tea or for offering as prasad. Keep in mind, basil leaves should never be plucked after Ekadashi, Sunday and sunset. If you need leaves for puja, try to pluck them in advance or use the leaves that have fallen on their own. Breaking a branch unnecessarily is not considered auspicious in the scriptures.

Evening lamp: the key to prosperity
Since ancient times, grandmothers have been saying that a small ghee lamp should be lit near Tulsi in the evening. This is not just a religious activity, but it purifies the environment around the house and increases mutual love in the family. Just keep in mind that after the lamp gets lit, clean the place a little.

Last thing…
If the Tulsi plant dries up in the house, remove it immediately and immerse it in a holy place. Keeping a dried plant in the house is considered a symbol of sadness. Tulsi is a living energy, which sustains our home. If you take care of it with love and devotion, there will be happiness in your life too.
