|| Jai Sriman Narayana ||
||Sri Thulsi Shodashanama||
I shall prostrate before Goddess Sri
Thulsi who symbolizes Goddess Mahalakshmi/wealth, richness, prosperity and
auspiciousness, she is the source of supreme intellect, wisdom and knowledge to
unwise, she symbolizes fame, good fortune appreciation, and righteousness, she resides
in the land of righteousness, she is Padmini who is most desirable, she is
beloved of Lord Hari, she is closest companion of Goddess Sri Mahalakshmi, she
is divine personified, she represents Earth, heaven, mountains, living and non –
living things, whoever reads or listens to the glorious sixteen sacred names of
Goddess Thulsi would attain intense devotion, ultimately liberation at the
lotus feet of Lord Vishnu.
