Well, as per the folklore, Krishna was once enthralled by the aroma emanating from Radha Rani's body. His flute dropped from his hands, his peacock-feather crown fell at Shri Radha's lotus feet and he fainted.

देवउठनी एकादशी पर क्यों होता है तुलसी विवाह?
आज कार्तिक मास के शुक्ल पक्ष की एकादशी है। कहते है भगवान विष्णु अपनी चार महीने की निद्रा से आज उठते है इसीलिए इसे देवउठनी एकादशी या प्रबोधिनी एकादशी भी कहा जाता है ।
भगवान विष्णु को जगाने का मंत्र
भगवान् को निंद्रा से उठाने के लिए इस मन्त्र का जप करें, अगर उच्चारण न कर पाए तो 'उठो देवा, जागो देवा, बैठो देवा' कहकर श्रीनारायण को उठाएं।
उत्तिष्ठ गोविन्द त्यज निद्रां जगत्पतये। त्वयि सुप्ते जगन्नाथ जगत् सुप्तं भवेदिदम्॥
उत्थिते चेष्टते सर्वमुत्तिष्ठोत्तिष्ठ माधव। गतामेघा वियच्चैव निर्मलं निर्मलादिशः॥
शारदानि च पुष्पाणि गृहाण मम केशव।
प्रबोधिनी एकादशी के दिन तुलसी जी का विवाह भगवान शालिग्राम के साथ करवाने की भी परंपरा है।

Who delivered the Green Tea?
I had ordered green tea from Amazon on Saturday. And on Sunday I got the message that it has been handed directly to the customer, although I haven't received it. I checked with my roommate, neighbor and the security guard, they were clueless about it.
Later, I called the Amazon Customer support team, they said it will take atleast 1 business day to check with the courier team. I called them again yesterday, they assured that they will get back to me on Tuesday.

Tulsi Vivaah...

Today in our India, festival of Tulsi Vivaah is celebrated. Tulsi Vivaah is the marriage of tulsi plant with lord Vishnu or his incarnation Krishna. From the 11th moonlit fortnight, also known as Prabhodini or Devuthni Gyarash [Dev + Utnhi + Gyarash means God(…Dev) wakes up(..uthna) on 11th (…Gyarah) day after Diwali], till the full moon or Pournima of kartik for five days, there continues a tradition of a ritual marriage of the tulsi with Krishna.
Tulsi or tulas is the herb plant and regarded as a holy household plant in our India. It is believed to be a destroyer of demons and evil spirits. Unmarried girls worship it for a happy married life(...unmarried guys wont pray? they dont want happy married life?), married women to be blessed with children and widows to attain salvation(….I think Widower already got salvation that’s why only Widows are supposed to do all the rituals).
It is difficult to find a Hindu house without the Tulsi Vrindavan (…Pedestal). Earlier the pedestal where the tulsi was planted was manually made of clay. Watering the Tulsi Vrindavan, applying sandalwood paste, turmeric and red powder (…kumkum) and also adorning it with flowers and lamps is a tradition observed even today among Hindu women.
During chavath, a canopy(…a.k.a matoli in some places) is erected in front of the Tulsi vrundavan with a variety of fruits and flowers. The Prabodhini ekadishi (….or Devuthni Gyarash)is celebrated as vhodli or dev diwali or choti diwali. It marks the conclusion of chaturmas, a four month period when Lord Vishnu is believed to take a long sleep on ashad shuddha ekadashi and awakens on kartik shuddha ekadashi. Tulsi lagna(…Tusli Marriage) is one of the most important festivals. No marriage ceremony will be held before Tulsi lagna as it does not enjoy religious sanction among Hindus. The clay pedestal(…Tulsi Vrindavan) has today been replaced by a concrete one that varies in shape, size and color. Every year before the Tulsi lagna, the pedestal is painted and decorated. In rural areas, women make square shaped pedestals of clay and apply a paste of cow dung to them. This Tulsi Vrindavan is then decorated with wild flowers and yellow coloured marigold. On tulsi lagna, a tender stick of dino (Leea indica or Bandicoot berry) is brought and designs carved on it.
DINO or Leea Indica
This dino stick symbolically represents the bride groom of the tulsi vrindavan. The Tulsi vrindavan is decorated like a bride. Inside the pedestal in some areas a wild plants along with pods is planted which is decorated with marigold flowers. A stem of sugarcane is also planted. Fruits of Amla (Emblica Officinalis) and Tamarind (…Tamarindus indica) are placed inside the pedestal. Head gears made from pseudo banana stems are tied during the marriage ceremony to the Tulsi as well as dino plants. Akshatas(… or rice grains) are thrown to solemnize the marriage. All marriage rituals are performed on this occasion. Chanting of holy hymns known as mangalashtakas accord a sense of sanctity, associating it with the feelings of having performed a pious deed.
