Tulasi Worship
Philosophy · asked by user [] · 2007-09-30 · 2 answers
Next to Radha, Lord Krishna loved Brinda(Tulasi). Why is Tulasi not kept alongwith eight sakhis? And why do we worship Tulasi separately, which is not seen by Radha(the temple door is closed). Why is Tulasi not kept with Radha and Krishna?

Great Question !!hari bol, it is as if i may ask why is shankar not called the prajapati ?
and as such it will fit to another topic in realtion to, but as i did not know this i will try to understand from the right sources, the tulasi book may show her lifespan directly related to be aclose pure devotee, this is all i know, then why do the pure devotees became worship-worthy ?
only tulasi and or krsna could answer to you personally.

Tulsi is kept with Krsna on the altar. However because being circumambulated the altar doors are closed, because you should not circumambulate in front of the deities. Yes its kept with Radha and Krsna (in Mayapur temple for example) but can be worshiped separately even by people who are not normally up to the standard of deity worship or who have no time for this, for example Thakura Haridasa.
