The day of Devuthani Ekadashi is very auspicious in itself. This is the most important Ekadashi of the year, because on this day Lord Vishnu wakes up from his Yog Nidra and takes charge of his responsibilities. According to religious beliefs, on this holy day, devotees worship Goddess Tulsi along with Lord Vishnu and Mother Lakshmi. They also observe a strict fast. According to the Vedic calendar, this year this Ekadashi will be celebrated on November 12.

On the next day, Tulsi Vivah festival will be celebrated. It is believed that on this day, along with worshipping Maa Tulsi in a proper manner, one must recite her Chalisa. This increases happiness and good fortune, so let's read it here.

Hail Hail Tulsi, Goddess Satyavati Sukhdani.

Namo namo Hari's beloved Shri Vrinda, the one who enjoys the virtues.

Shri Hari's head is Birjini, give me the immortal boon Amb.

It is public interest, Vrindavani, I will not delay any longer.

॥ Chaupai ॥

Blessed Blessed Shri Tulsi Mata. Mahima Agam always sings Shruti.

You are dearer to Hari than his life. You have performed great penance for Hari only.

When he was happy he appeared before me, then I folded my hands and prayed to him.

Oh Lord, please bless me. Knowing my poverty, please leave me.

Lakshmi heard the words of Tulsi. She cursed him.

You lost the offer of that unworthy groom. O tree, you have a dull body.

Listened to Tulsi and held the curses only. I will reside in your lowly place.

Hari gave his word immediately. Listen, O beautiful one, you will be in trouble.

I have got the time when I will get you. Please fulfill my words.

Then Gokul's Gop Sudama. Tulsi became his father.

Tulsi was named Vrinda. Asur Jalandhar name to the husband.

Atul Baldhama created a fierce battle and took on Shankar.

When Shiva along with his army is defeated, then Hari calls out even if he does not die.

Vrinda was a devoted wife. No one could kill her husband.

Then he disguised himself as Jalandhar. Hari went to Vrinda.

For the benefit of Shiva you did a deceitful act. You broke your chastity.

Jalandhar was killed. He heard the grief of his heart.

In that very moment Hari removed the deceit. Seeing Vrinda's sorrow fell down.

Just like Jalandhar was killed, so was Ravan who killed Sita.

Your heart is like a stone. My husband destroyed the religion.

This is the reason why I cursed you. May your body become like stone.

Hearing this, Hari immediately spoke the words and cursed him without thinking.

Her husband did not notice her misdeeds, when Parvati wanted to flirt.

You are like a dull person, you are like a dull Tulsi tree in the world.

We are Shaligrama in the form of God. Llama in the middle of river Gandaki.

I am the one who offers the Tulsi leaves. I will enjoy all the pleasures and attain the ultimate position.

Without Tulsi, Hari's body is burning. Extreme pain rises in my heart.

The Tulsi leaf which Hari holds on his head, pours nectar into thousands of vessels.

Tulsi defeated Hari's heart and destroyed diseases, faults and sorrows.

Continuously singing Hari Bhajans with love. Tulsi and Radha have no difference.

There are fifty-six types of dishes. Without Tulsi Dal, there is no greenery, it is lovely.

Tulsi tree is like all pilgrimage places. People get salvation, there is no doubt.

Poet Sundar sings the qualities of Hari alone. Near Tulsi he gets a thousand times more.

Durbasa Dhama near Basat. Llama before the attempt.

If any man or woman reads this regularly, they will get happiness, says Tripurari.
