Tulsi Vivah & Benefits Of Having Tulsi Maadam At Home

The story of Tulsi Vivah can be found in the Padma Purana. Tulsi is considered as the consort of Lord Vishnu, called Vishnu Priya, the Beloved of Vishnu. The Tulsi plant was once a human woman named Vrinda, or Brinda. She was an incarnation of Maa Lakshmi, the Goddess of Wealth. In that birth she was married to the Asura King Jalandhar. She was extremely pious and devoted to Lord Vishnu and performed many penances and acts of charity in his name. The power of her penances was imbued by her husband Jalandhar, making him invincible. He became so powerful that not even the Devas could defeat him, despite their collective strength. The Devas went to Lord Vishnu to seek a solution to this problem. Vishnu agreed to help them and told them to begin preparations for war.
