Yuhooo!!! Kaise hain mere dkdmians??
Kya chal raha hain aajkal???
Its been nearly a month i am not watching mahadev properly and today i saw repeats and came to know jalandhar has taken roop!! U know according to wikipedia he is the same jalandhar who is tulsi aka vrinda's husband!!

In a story it is said that he is married to vrinda and he gets all his power from her pativrati nature and to kill him her pativrata should be bhangofied(i donno what they tell in english) so lord vishnu takes the form of jalandhar and goes to vrinda to check the pativrata then when she comes to know that it is vishnu she gets very angry and curses him that he will become a stone and that is why we worship the shaligram! A pooja done in a house where there is a shaligram is much much more higher than done in any house! The people on menses should not rome around near the pooja house means if it is connected to something and stuff!! Well recognising her pious nature vishnu gives her a boon that she will always stay at his lotus feet and will be the most priya to him and hence she becomes tulsi!!

Here we amchigele(konkani people) do the tulsi pooja in the month of kartika on the day of uttvana duadashi next day of ekadashi! It is actually tulsi's marriage! We do pooja and they have some mantra! Unlike the other pooja's we do we do not prepare many items for nivedyam only two sweets i forgot what they are!! And instead of rice as akshatam we use puffed rice not churmura the other one! And we burn crackers just a little!!

Well that was the story from my side!! If posted mods close!!

Well now that i am back i will be more active on the forum!!!!
