Tulsi Puja: 4 Sacred Offerings for Prosperity During Bhadrapada Month
 

BENGALURU — As the Bhadrapada month begins, Hindu devotees are preparing for the sacred Tulsi Puja, a tradition believed to enhance financial stability and bring prosperity. This auspicious month, which marks the sixth month of the Hindu calendar, is considered ideal for honoring the Tulsi plant, revered as a symbol of the goddess Lakshmi.

According to religious beliefs, offering certain items to the Tulsi plant during this time can alleviate financial issues and attract wealth. Here are four recommended offerings to make during the Bhadrapada month:

Camphor: Devotees are encouraged to grind camphor into a fine powder and place it on a red cloth. This powder should be offered to the Tulsi plant every evening. The ritual, performed after a bath, is believed to remove any defects or negativity in one's life.

Sandalwood Paste: Applying sandalwood paste to the Tulsi plant daily during this holy month is thought to dispel negative energies from the home and enhance positive vibrations. This practice is believed to bring auspiciousness and blessings to all family members.

Kalava Thread: Known as a sacred thread in Hinduism, the Kalava is believed to house the divine presence of the Trimurti gods. Tying this thread around the Tulsi plant during Bhadrapada is thought to invoke their blessings and protection.

Kumkum: Kumkum, known for its power to attract wealth, should be offered to the Tulsi plant during worship. This offering is believed to resolve financial difficulties and prevent monetary issues from arising.

By performing these rituals and offerings during the Bhadrapada month, devotees seek to secure financial stability and receive blessings from Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth. This tradition continues to be an integral part of spiritual and financial well-being for many Hindus.
