Tulsi Vivah
This day marks the marriage of Bhagwan with Tulsiji. The daughter of Kushdhvaj, Vrinda was married the son of ocean, Jaaldhar. Vrinda was very beautiful, virtuous wife (pativrata). This made Jaaldhar very powerful and he started harassing kings all over the world. He also challenged Shivji to engage in a fight with him. Shivji, unable to attain victory, pleaded Vishnu to do something, and the only way to sort this out was to break the pativrata dharma of Vrinda. So Vishnu Bhagwan took the form and Jaaldhar and stayed with her. In this way, she broke her Pativrata dharma, and on the other hand Jaaldhar was killed by Shivji. When Vrinda came to know about this, she cursed Bhagwan to becomes stones. Vishnu hence got the form of stones known as Shaalgram. But Laxmiji was also angry after looking at her husband’s form, so she cursed Vrinda to become a tree. This tree was known as Tulsi. Bhagwan then promised Tulsi that because he killed her husband, he will marry her every year.
