"There is no better recipient of charity than a vipra, no better gift than cows, no better tirtha than the Ganga, and no better leaf than a Tulasi leaf. Whatever one can obtain by offering the Lord all types of flowers and leaves may be attained by simply offering Him one Tulasi leaf. An offering of flowers made of gold, jewels, and pearls is not equal to an offering of Tulasi leaves
.""By offering the Lord Tulasi leaves, a devotee is released from sins accumulated for one koti (ten million) lifetimes. When a devotee offers Tulasi to the Lord's head, all the devotee's unmentionable and undetected sins are destroyed. By sprinkling the Lord's house with water using a Tulasi leaf, one is freed from all great sins. A person who has Tulasi leaves in his mouth or on his head or body when he dies is guaranteed not to suffer in hell."
