Jai Sree Krishna to all,

I asker the question related to Tulsi only that what is Tulsi vivah then Anjuji copied and paste it one store So I will also paste it here..

Tulsi Vivah On the twelfth day of the bright half of Kartik this feast is celebrated. Jalandhar was a famous warrior. By defeating the gods he had made his fellow demons happy. Vrinda was his faithful wife. Because of her virtue Jalandhar had become invincible in the three worlds. The gods tried to find a stratagem to defeat him. They deceived Vrinda with the false news that her husband had been killed in battle. The severed head and body of two monkeys were put in front of her, and she believing it to be her husband’s dead body was plunged in grief. Then a sadhu came and by reciting some mantras he joined again the head and the body, and Vishnu looking exactly like Jalandhar stood in front of her. Think-ing in her excitement that it was her resuscitated husband she embraced him. But then realizing her mistake, she lost her virtue for having touched the body of another man. And after Vrinda had lost her holiness Jalandhar was really killed in war. When Vrinda came to know the truth, she was wild and cursed Vishnu, “Your wife will be taken away from you and you will have to ask help from monkeys to recover her.” This curse was literally realized when Vishnu took avatar as Rama. After this Vrinda prepared the pyre for her husband and jumped into the fire. The practice of a widow burning herself with her dead husband is known as “sati”. Vishnu was very sorry because as a result of his deceit the poor widow committed suicide. He remained like mad sitting at the side of the pyre. To remove his madness the gods planted three trees in the cremation ground, a tulsi (holy basil) an “avala” (Phyllantus emblica), and a “malti” (jasmine). Of these three trees the “tulsi” became very dear to Vishnu because like Vrinda she is endowed with all qualities. Even though by mistake, Vrinda had for an instant believed Vishnu to be her husband. Therefore when Vishnu took avatar as Krishna , Vrinda took avatar as Rukmini, and on the 12th day of the bright half of Kartik they got married. On this day the special place where the “Tulsi” is kept, known as “Vrindavan”, is smeared with cow dung. Sugarcane is buried in it, and “avale” (fruits of the avali” tree) and wet “chinch” (fruits of the tamarind tree) are put on it. Round the vrindavan a pandol is raised with sugarcanes. Then while reciting stanzas, the marriage between the “tulsi” and the idol of Vishnu is performed, and “lahya”, “kurmure” (parched rice) and pieces of sugarcane are distributed to those present. The Tulsi or Holy Basil is a venerated plant. Some people keep a tulsi in front of the house on a specially made stand called Tulsivrindavan.

I think Tulsi is one of the fav to the Shree Thakorji.. And we the bramhasambhand mantra we kept this with charan of Thakorji.

I think we are saying that  "Hu paapi chu hu das chu....."   " hu tamara charan ma mara badha karma samarpit karu chu.."  means i am giving him everything...

Jai Shree Krishna,

Kavita Wani.

This is also an artical related to this topic.........

Once Tulasi devi descended as the daughter of King Kushadraja. She was married to Jalhandara. It is said that Samudra deva the demigod controlling the nether regions had Lakshmi devi as a daughter (since she appeared from him at time of the churning of the ocean) and Jalandara (one who is born from water).

Jalandara was married to Tulasi devi and drew strength from her purity and chastity. So firm was her chastity that even Lord Shiva could not defeat Jalandara in battle and all the demigods went to Lord Vishnu for help.

At this time, Lord Vishnu went to Tulasi devi assuming the form of her husband, Jalandara. When Tulasi devi greeted Him, thinking Him to be her husband, her chastity was momentarily broken. Taking advantage of this the demigods killed Jalandara.

When Tulasi devi understood what happened, Lord Vishnu revealed His original form. An enraged Tulasi devi cursed Lord Vishnu for His stone hearted behavior to become a stone. Honoring His pure devotee, Lord Vishnu accepted this curse and promised to appear as the Saligrama shila in the Gandika river (now in Nepal). He also gave Tulsai devi the benediction that she will eternally reside with Him as His consort in Vaikuntha. He said that for the benefit of every one she will assume the form of a plant which will be most auspicious for anyone performing devotional service.

Thus devotees never offer anything to Krishna without a Tulasi leaf. He always adorns Himself with a Tulasi garland. The goddess of fortune, Laksmi, is sometimes envious of the Tulasi leaves which are placed at the lotus feet of the Lord, for they remain fixed there and do not move, whereas Laksmiji, although stationed by the chest of the Lord, sometimes has to please other devotees who pray for her favor. Laksmiji sometimes has to go to satisfy her numerous devotees, but tulasi leaves never forsake their position, and the Lord therefore appreciates the service of the tulasi more than the service of Laksmi.
