Chaitanya and Tulsi / Link

Srila Advaita Acarya was very much disturbed to see the growth of irreligiosity. Therefore He decided to call for the Personality of Godhead Krsna to descend by worshiping the Lord with tulasi leaves and the water of the Ganges. When Sri Krishna was please by this devotion He descended as Caitanya Mahaprabhu.

Amla Tulsi Malati

Lord Vishnu was very much saddened by the death of Vrinda. He took the ashes from her pyre and after applying them on his body started wondering here and there.

The deities became very worried to see the condition of lord Vishnu. They went to lord Shiva and requested him to eliminate the false attachment with which Sri Vishnu was suffering. Lord Shiva sent the deities to goddess Parvati, saying that she would ceratainly help in this regard. The deities went to goddess Parvati and prayed to her. She became very pleased and with the assistance of Lakshmi and Saraswati, gave seeds of tree to them.

The deities sprayed those seeds on the pyre, on which Vrinda had given up her life. Three holy plants manifested from that pyre
  1. Amla (Myrobalan),
  2. Tulsi (Basil) and
  3. Malati (Combretum indicum)
The seeds manifested as plants which were forwarded to Vishnuloka as tokens of blessings to Vrinda’s soul at Vaikuntha.

The Above is Celebrated as Anla Nabami ( Radha Pada Darshan, Sakhigopal ) 

And Only on the auspicious day of Anla Nabami, devotees get a chance to view the feet and hence the ritual is known as Radha pada darsha.
