Palimar Swamiji on Importance of Tulsi

“Sri Krishna spread happiness not only to his mother Devaki but also to all his devotees. There is nothing in the world which can replace tulsi. So, anything we give, we offer tulsi with it. We believe that whenever we offer something with tulsi, it reaches lord. We used to offer lacs of tulsi on a daily basis to Sri Krishna. Even that offering has given us a fruitful result. Kashmir issue is resolved and we hope that Pakistan occupied Kashmir also comes under India in the coming days,” said Palimar Swamiji.
