Plucking Tulasi

One who picks Tulasi without having bathed and then performs worship is an offender, and all his activities become useless. (Vayu Purana)

 

One should pluck the leaves with the right hand, holding the branch in the left hand, being careful not to break the branches.

 

patranam cayane vipra bhagna sakha yada bhavet

tada hridi vyatha vishnor diyate tulasi pateh

karatala trayam dattva cinuyat tulasi dalam

yatha na kampate sakha tulasya divyasattama

 

If when picking Tulasi leaves one breaks the branches, Vishnu feels pain in His heart. One should clap the hands three times before picking Tulasi and pick in such a way that the branches do not shake.

 

One should say:

tulasy amrita janmasi sada tva keshava priya

keshavarthe vicinvami barada bhava shobhane

tvad anga sambhavaih patraih pujayami yatha harim

tatha kuru pavitrangi kalau mala vinasini

 

Oh Tulasi, born from the ocean of nectar, you are eternally the

dearmost of Keshava. For His worship I now pluck you. Please bestow blessings on me.

 

Oh Tulasi, being pure in body and the destroyer of the sins of Kali-yuga, I will worship the Lord using leaves coming from your body. You should make that worship successful.
