According to the Hindu calendar, each of the 12 months has its own religious importance. Now, we have entered the eighth month of the calendar, which is Kartik. Let’s understand this month’s significance and a few astrological measures that should be taken to ensure happiness and prosperity in life. The month of Kartik commenced on October 29 this year and will conclude on November 27. People usually wait for this month, as it is considered auspicious and most Hindu festivals fall during this period.

As per beliefs, Shri Krishna — who is said to be the incarnation of Lord Vishnu — married Goddess Tulsi in the form of Shaligram in the month of Kartik. This makes the month even more significant. It is advised to take certain measures, if you also want peace and prosperity at your home. In addition to that, those who have been looking to marry will get the partner of their own choice, if they perform Tulsi puja this month.

Pandit Avinash Mishra shared a few ways that should be adopted this month to attract fortune in your life and find the partner of your choice. He informed that Tulsi Maharani and Shaligram got married in the month of Kartik. This also means the union of Lord Vishnu and Goddess Lakshmi. Therefore, it is suggested to change Tulsi Mata’s chunri this month.

Tulsi puja should be performed every morning and evening and the vase or the pot of the plant should be marked with a swastika. One of the most important ways to please Tulsi Mata is to offer water to the plant. One should avoid giving water to Tulsi on Sundays.

The Tulsi plant is believed to be the living embodiment of Goddess Lakshmi. This is the reason behind why the specific plant is viewed as sacred by many. The Tulsi plant needs to be handled with much care. Worshipping Tulsi regularly brings fortune, prosperity, and peace to home. It needs to be ensured that the designated area where Tulsi mata is placed should be cleaned regularly, if you wish to please Goddess Lakshmi.
