Every Hindu considers Tulsi a must in their homes. So, how did it become sacred? What was this Tulsi is real life? What are its mythological stories? Read the below article to understand this in detail.

Tulsi was the beautiful daughter of the great Dharmaraja (king of righteousness). Since childhood, she was a great devotee of Lord Vishnu. She used to practice severe penance in the banks of the river to show her respect for the God. Once she was walking down the banks of this river when her eyes fell on a charming, handsome man.

The man was clad in yellow bright clothes. His body smelled of pure sandalwood and natural fragrances. Precious and shining jewels accessorized his perfect physique. At first sight, she fell in love with him and slowly progressed towards this beautiful creation. It was none other than Lord Ganesha. She approached him and asked him if he could take her as his wife.

Reaction from the Lord was very polite and calm. He said; “I have decided to stay away from family life and dedicate my presence too strong meditation and devotion to my parents. Marriage destroys the peace of mind and distracts from tapas. You are a beautiful lady but I am really sorry that I will not be able to accept you.”

The rejection made the lady furious. She immediately cursed Ganesha.

The day will come when you will have to marry against your own will. Your vow to remain a saint forever will never be fulfilled.

This made Lord Ganesha act in retaliation and he cursed her as well.
