Tulsi (Basil) leaves are well known for their sacred and medicinal values.In Shri radhavallabh temple Tulsi (basil) is considered as a sakhi, thus it is never put in the bhog.If any devotee offers basil to lord it is placed in Shriji’s ‘charan kamal’ the holy feet and then given back as parsaad.
It is also believed that if one wishes to have it as parsaad, one will have to swallow it as whole. As chewing the basil is considered a sin.

Shrimati Radha Rani is literally Devi Swaroop.She is the most powerful devi, but yet assumes humblest positions to serve her creator and lord Shri Krishna.She is the greatest etrnal servitor of Lord Krishna.Most beautiful, slender,quickwitted and well versed in all arts, she is the most beloved of the Lord but cannot be seen by anyone as Tamala in Vrindavan wants to shield her from one and all at her own request and hence can be seen only with his celestial flute,cow,peacock and Jamuna.Yet she is the most beloved of his and theiier eternal trancendental pastimes continue forever and ever.Jai Shrimati Radha Rani.

It is not the geography , the history or the folklore that draws one to the fabled land called brindavan - the image of “golok dham ” on this terra firma - it is the atmosphere , the feeling of utter bliss that pervades the air just as one enters brindavan . The environ is charged with the nectarine beauty of Radha madhav and the vibrations can be felt by one and all. blessed are the nivasi of brindavan and blessed are we few who have the opportunity to be there even for a few days. The darshan of the radha madhave in the various temples, the bath in the gentle yamuna , the evenings at the Vanshi Vat and the aartis and bhog , - an ambrosia beyond compare.

When Life gets tough with harsh blows of suffering stormed with emotions; It seems to blur with every step we put forward and mind starts losing its control, then our heart should believe in and seek the shelter of Shri Radhavallabh Lal. When we get entangled in the dark web of mixed feelings and emotions, even lose hope to achieve our goals in life we should not give up. We should believe that after every dark night of evil is the dawn of divine, after every end lies a fresh new start.Shri Radhavallabh knows all our pain, He possesses the power to heal us in the form of Guru, Parents, a Imaginery form or even Friends. Thus the strength of belief and trust in Shriji can show us the path of light, for she stays by our side in every thick and thin without demanding anything other than belief in return.
