#neverstoplearning Like any Hindu home, ours has the Tulsi plant. Why is Tulsi such an integral part of Hinduism? Tulsi is considered dear to Lord Vishnu. She is also personified as a woman and one of the escorts of Lord Krishna. As a result, Tulsi is considered a holy plant. It is customary to light a diya (lamp) near Tulsi and offer prayers. She is said to promote longevity of life, happiness and spiritual bliss. Tulsi also has many medicinal benefits. The leaves are especially effective against colds, fever, bronchitis, cough and other respiratory problems. For example, my mom loves to boil Tulsi leaves when preparing her black tea. It’s always a great idea to have a Tulsi plant at home. If it doesn’t grow naturally in the region, you can always find seeds at your local Hindu temple. 🤗 #incredibleindiaofficial

Its my favorite season of the year... Mango Season. Just had a crate of the “king of fruits” brought in now. #mangolover This juicy fruit has been cultivated India since ancient times. Fossil study has revealed that the mango goes back millions of years. References can be found in Vedic Literature and historical books. In fact, many Puranas and Upanishads condemn the felling of mango trees. In fact, mangoes till date are considered a sign of prosperity and good fortune. The mango soon became a favorite in the Mughal Empire and among foreign travelers. The famous Persian poet Amir Khusrau called the mango “Naghza Tarin Mewa Hindustan” or “the fairest fruit of Hindustan”. #didyouknowfacts #neverstoplearning
