Why tulsi is used in Panchamrut?
- Why tulsi is used in Panchamrut? It is believed that the Naivedya, Panchamrut or any kind of offering made to deity should be pure and with Sattva Gunas. Tulsi has potential to absorb Sattva Gunas (Positive energy) and keep away the Rajjas and Tammas Gunas (Negative Energy). The deity always likes such offering. Naivedya, Panchamrut or any kind of offering made to deity with Tulsi leaves to please him/her and receive the grace.

I like it.. And always prepare for Krishna Janmashtami..
We are told never to mix equal quantities of honey and ghee. It is according to the Ayurveda, Virodhi Aahar and is toxic. Either of them should be increased and made unequal.
Tulsi can''t be garnished ever when the Prasad is offered to ganpati bappa
This is always made at home when there is puja and is given to all the guest, its very easy to make as it just has 5 basic ing in it.
