Tulsi is not just a sacred plant; she is Vrinda Devi herself, Bhakti Devi, the divine commander of Krishna’s leelas in Golok, without whose grace no puja and no devotion is ever complete.”

Those with faith in God will always try to see the grace of God in every situation. This helps them sail through the highs and lows of life. They learn the lessons, improve themselves, and move forward with renewed vigour.

Self-realization can be achieved by self-effort. However, to reach God-realization, we require the intervention of divine grace. Such grace must be attracted through bhakti.

The behaviour of others is never in our control. If our peace is dependent on people's behaviour, it can be snatched away in a moment. We must learn to be peaceful by becoming equipoised in all circumstances.

दूसरों का व्यवहार कभी हमारे नियंत्रण में नहीं होता। यदि हमारी शांति लोगों के व्यवहार पर निर्भर हो, तो वह पल भर में छिन सकती है। हमें हर परिस्थिति में समभावी होकर शांत रहना सीखना चाहिए।

By the grace of Yogmaya energy, which is Radha, one receives the love, knowledge, and grace of God. Great souls, who receive divine grace, become endowed with divine love, and engage in uninterrupted devotion toward God. Thus, great souls take shelter of the divine energy of God.

The real reason for which Lord takes avatar is to grace and bless souls. When souls attach their minds to form of God, they engage in Bhakti, which purifies their heart. Happy Janmasthami.

Let us live with optimism and faith in the grace of God. At present, we may be fallen, but if we cry out with devotion, He can transform even the most incorrigible sinners into the purest devotees.
