Tulsi vivah is a Hindu festival that celebrates the marriage (vivah) of the sacred plant Tulsi (Holy Basil) with Lord Vishnu. It is celebrated on the eleventh day of the waxing moon in the lunar month of Karthik, in the Hindu calendar. This time usually falls around October/November of each year.
​

Holy Basil, Tulsi is a special sacred plant in Hinduism. It is supposed to have many healing properties and is typically regarded as a symbol of purity, devotion and spiritual growth. It is considered particularly dear to Lord Vishnu, as Tulsi is believed to be an incarnation of Goddess Lakshmi (consort of Lord Vishnu).
​
Tulsi vivah is a time to honor this sacred plant by worshipping it and seeking its blessings. We also seek and receive blessings from Lord Vishnu.

Tulsi vivah is believed to represent the divine union of a soul with God. Similar to Tulsi uniting with Lord Vishnu, each one of our souls can unite with the supreme lord. By celebrating this festival and honoring the scared Tulsi, one can purify their mind and body and progress in their spiritual growth. 

Tulsi vivah is also associated with the auspicious festival of Diwali and is celebrated on the 11th day after Diwali. It is believed that anyone who performs Tulsi vivah will be blessed with a happy and prosperous married life.

In addition to its spiritual significance, Tulsi i.e., holy basil is also known for its medicinal and healing properties. It is said to have many health benefits, including the ability to boost the immune system, reduce stress, and treat various ailments.

The festival of Tulsi vivah is also a reminder of the importance of nature and serves as a way to promote harmony between humans and the natural world.

    Vedic Culture, which   is the culture of the original Himalayan Masters,    is one of the most advanced ancient civilizations.  It is a tradition which has given mankind several treasures such Yoga, Meditation, Conscious-Living and Vedic Sciences such as Ayurveda, Vedic Physics & Vedic Mathematics.

    It was always a scientific culture that understood the very mechanics and workings of this Universe. Their deities, their gods and goddesses were all a way of expressing and explaining these energies and their inter-working. Modern Quantum Mechanics is just starting to understand string theory, dark matter etc. which have all been fundamental to the Vedic understanding. Because of this, they developed ways and methods which allowed one to best tap into life-energy itself.

    Vedic Culture, as it was practiced by the Himalayan Masters, was always a "way of life" and not a religion.

    Their basic view was that, there is only ONE Supreme God-head (God as our creator) and each one of us can find our path to it- experience union with that divinity (Yoga) in their own way.

    Because of this, anyone with any religious affiliations and beliefs can still benefit from their knowledgeable ways of Vedic Wisdom.

    Our attempt here is to present this ancient wisdom in a modern light, so our readers can interpret the true, essential meaning more easily and then extrapolate it to their own specific scenarios and enhance the quality of their life and being-ness.
