With the auspicious arrival of the month of Ashadha, a special period for religious rituals, fasting, and devotion has begun. Devshayani Ekadashi, which falls during this month, holds great significance in Sanatan tradition. According to belief, Lord Vishnu enters a state of cosmic slumber (*Yoganidra*) on this day, marking the beginning of *Chaturmas*. Following this, auspicious ceremonies such as weddings and housewarming rituals are suspended for four months, while acts of worship, charity, chanting, and penance yield manifold spiritual rewards.

According to Ujjain-based astrologer Anand Bhardwaj, the scriptures highlight the special importance of worshipping the Tulsi plant during the month of Ashadha. Worshipping Mother Tulsi during this month pleases Lord Vishnu. Effective remedies involving Tulsi can even unlock the doors to good fortune. Let us explore these potent Tulsi remedies to be practiced this month.

**Benefits of these remedies**

1. During the month of Ashadha, sitting near the Tulsi plant daily and chanting Lord Vishnu’s sacred mantra, "Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya," with devotion is considered highly auspicious. Religious beliefs hold that this practice invokes Lord Vishnu's grace, bestowing spiritual merit and positive outcomes upon the devotee.

2. Lighting a ghee lamp near the Tulsi plant every evening during the month of Ashadha is considered extremely auspicious. It is believed that this practice invites happiness and prosperity into the home, strengthens one's financial position, and enhances the flow of positive energy.

3. Offering water mixed with a small amount of raw milk to Mother Tulsi every Friday during the month of Ashadha is considered very auspicious. According to tradition, performing this remedy regularly strengthens one's financial status and can open up new opportunities for financial gain.

4. It is believed that a home where Tulsi is worshipped regularly remains filled with happiness, prosperity, and positive energy. During the month of Ashadha, offer water to the Tulsi plant daily after bathing and contemplate the mantras of Lord Vishnu. Additionally, performing 7, 11, or 21 circumambulations (*parikrama*) is considered auspicious. However, water is not offered to the Tulsi plant on Sundays and Ekadashi.

5. Offering Tulsi leaves to Lord Vishnu during regular worship in the month of Ashadha is considered extremely auspicious. It is believed that this invokes the Lord's grace. However, Tulsi leaves should not be plucked on Sundays and Ekadashi.
