Good to know... Interesting Facts
TULSI
Tirupathi, has established that the TULSI Plant exhales Ozone, the
molecules of which contain three atoms of oxygen in place of ordinary
atmospheric oxygen which has only two atoms in each molecule.
According to reports published by the Vallabhbhai Patel Vriksha
Sansthan, Delhi, an oily substance found in TULSI actively destroys
Tuberculosis bacilli.
TULSI is said to contain about 27 minerals and is used extensively in
the preparation of more than 300 Ayurvedic and Homoeopathic medicines.
It destroys disease-carrying germs and is used in the treatment of
several ailments including Asthma, Tuberculosis, Leprosy etc. It also
purifies blood and improves digestive system.
Things exposed to the aroma of TULSI or placed near a TULSI Plant will
not deteriorate or get spoiled quickly. A deadbody too does not decay
rapidly if placed among TULSI Plants. Perhaps the ritual of putting
TULSI leaves in the mouth of a dying person or keeping a TULSI Plant
near a dead body originated on the basis of this fact. There is also a
tradition of placing TULSI leaves in foods and drinks that have to be
stored during solar and lunar eclipses. The bacteriocidal properties
and electrical energy of the leaves protect the stored victuals from
the adverse effects of the rays of the eclipsed luminaries.
TULSI has a salutary effect not only on the body, but also on the
thoughts, tendencies and inclinations of the mind. It is stated in the
Padma Purana, Uttara Khanda, that wherever the aroma of TULSI is
carried by the wind, it purifies the atmosphere and frees all animals
from all baser tendencies. TULSI helps not only in curing physical
ailments but also in promoting purity, sanctity and spiritual
progress. A TULSI Plant is sure to act as a centre for spreading
positive and ennobling thoughts. In view A Tulsi Plant (Holy Basil) at
the doorstep of the house or in its vicinity keeps the atmosphere
pure, supplies oxygen in greater quantities, ensures the health of its
occupants and keeps it free from poisonous insects. The contribution
of the TULSI Plant to the purification of polluted air is unrivalled.
It possesses bacteriocidal properties. The emanations from TULSI
Plants are in fact fatal to mosquitoes. Even snakes cannot tolerate
the aroma of TULSI and keep away from it.
A special kind of vapour is released by a TULSI Plant into the air
which purifies the atmosphere. This is actually an essential fragrant
oil present in the TULSI Plant which evaporates and spreads through
the air, rendering it free from bacteria and other substances likely
to cause diseases. It is reported that a study undertaken by the S.V.
University, of the unrivalled qualities of TULSI, our ancient Sages
have with great foresight recommended that there should a TULSI Plant
in the courtyard of every dwelling - a recommendation that reveals
their profound wisdom.
Early in the morning, after your bath, sit in the proximity of or
circumambulate around a TULSI Plant so as to allow the fragrance
emanating from its leaves, inflorescences and stem to mix with the air
you inhale and to fill your entire being with ecstasy. Inhale deeply
and hold your breath. Let the maximum amount of the fragrance enter
your lungs. Let this fragrant air laden with salubrious chemicals
penetrate your body as deeply as possible. Let this divine aroma
pervade every drop of your blood and purify it. This fragrance is very
effective in increasing the beauty, health and radiance of your body.
Please take to this inexpensive but most effective method of combating
pollution of air and thoughts around us, and feel the difference.
Let us plant a few TULSI Plants in pots and place the pots during the
day in every one of the rooms we commonly use. The pots may be taken
out into the open in the evenings and left there overnight, to be
brought back in the morning. This will keep the atmosphere in the
house fresh. Even people living in apartments having no open ground
can easily raise one or two TULSI Plants in their corridors and
balconies of their flats.
Affluent philanthropists with the welfare of the people at heart may
set up TULSI-VANAS in the vacant space around their bungalows, and
permit every one suffering from an illness to have free access to
TULSI Plants.
