TRANSLATION
(1) O Tulasi,
beloved of Krsna, I bow before you again and again. My desire is to obtain the
service of Sri Sri Radha-Krsna.
(2) Whoever
takes shelter of you has his wishes fulfilled. Bestowing your mercy on him, you
make him a resident of Vrndavana.
(3) My desire
is that you will also grant me a residence in the pleasure groves of Sri Vrndavana-dhama.
Thus, within my vision I will always behold the beautiful pastimes of Radha and
Krsna.
(4) I beg you
to make me a follower of the cowherd damsels of Vraja. Please give me the privilege
of devotional service and make me your own maidservant.
(5) This very
fallen and lowly servant of Krsna prays, ''May I always swim in the love of Sri
Radha and Govinda.
(Being himself
an eternal resident of Vrindavana, Srila Prabhupada naturally wanted his followers
to gain entrance into Vrindavana, and therefore he introduced the worship of Tulasi-devi
in ISKCON. Every morning, all over the world, ISKCON devotees gather around Tulasi-devi
at 5 a.m. and sing that bhajan.)

(1) O Tulasi
Maharani! O Vrnda! O mother of devotion! O Narayani, I offer my obeisances to
you again and again.
(2) By seeing
you or even by touching you, all sins are destroyed. Your glories are described
in the Vedas and Puranas.
(3) Your leaves
and soft manjaris are entwined at the lotus feet of Narayana, the Lord of Laksmi.
O blessed mother Tulasi, you performed successful austerities and have thus become
the chief consort and queen of Sri Shalagrama-sila.
(4) You engladden
and shower your rain of mercy upon one who offers you some incense, a ghee lamp,
naivedya, and arati. The Lord does not care for even one of fifty-six varieties
of cooked food or thirty-six different curries offered without tulasi leaves.
(5) Lord Siva,
Sukadeva Gosvami, Devarsi Narada, and all the jnanis and great munis, headed by
Lord Brahma, are circumambulating you. O mother! O Maharani, Candrasekhara thus
sings your glories. Please bestow upon him the gift of pure devotion.
Aṣṭa-nāma-stava from the Padma Purāṇa
The Eight Names of Vṛndā-devī
Vṛndā Devī, Vṛndāvanī, Viśvapūjitā, Viśvapāvanī,
Puṣpasāra, Nandinī, Tulasī Devī, Kṛṣṇa-jīvanī
- Vṛndā Devī - She has thousand and thousands of sakhīs (associate maidservants).
- Vṛndāvanī - She never leaves Vṛndāvana.
- Viśvapūjitā - The whole universe worships her.
- Viśvapāvanī - She is the sanctifier of the whole world.
- Puṣpasāra - She is the essence of all flowers.
- Nandinī - She gives happiness to everyone.
- Tulasī Devī - She has an incomparable form.
- Kṛṣṇa-jīvanī
- She is the life and soul of Lord Kṛṣṇa.
Anyone while
worshiping Tulasī-devī chants these eight names will get the same results as one
who performs the Aśvamedha sacrifice. And one who on the full-moon day of Kartika
(Tulasī-devī's appearance day) worships Her with this Mantra will break free from
the bonds of this miserable world of birth and death, and very quickly attains
Goloka-Vṛndāvan. On the full moon-day of Kartik Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa Himself worships
Śrīmati Tulasī-devī with this Mantra.
One who remembers
this Mantra will very quickly attain devotion to Lord Kṛṣṇa's Transcendental
Lotus Feet.
