Nine Ways of Serving Tulsi

One time, desiring to know what kind of worship would please Krishna, Srimati Radhika approached Her friend Candranana, the best of the knowers of religion. After reflecting for a moment Candranana informed Srimati Radhika that Lord Krishna's association could be achieved through serving Tulasi in nine ways:

drstva sprstva tatha dhyata kirtita namita srta
ropita sevita nityam pujita tulasi subha
navadha tulasim nityam ye bhajanti dine dine
yuga koti sahasrani te vasanti harer grhe

(Hari Bhakti Vilasa 9/126,127 from Skanda Purana, conversation between Lord Brahma and Narada Muni)

1. Sees Tulasi Maharani,
2. Touches Her,
3. Mediates On Her,
4. Narrates Her History,
5. Offers Obeisances To Her,
6. Prays To Her For Her Grace,
7. Plants Her,
8. Worships Her, Or
9. Waters Her
