Jalandhara declared war with the Gods, absorbed in arrogance.

Jalandhara was a strong warrior since he was said to be born from the flames that erupted from Lord Shiva’s third eye. Jalandhara believed that by breaking Parvati’s (Lord Shiva’s wife) purity, he could defeat Lord Shiva.

Jalandhara approaches Parvati dressed as Lord Shiva, but she recognised him. Parvati, embarrassed and enraged, is said to have turned pitch black and her eyes blood red as a result of this. This denotes Parvati’s transformation into Goddess Kali.

When he saw this, he realised that he couldn’t stand up to the Goddesses’ wrath. Parvati then approaches Lord Vishnu and requests that he assume the form of Jalandhara and travel to his wife Vrinda, breaking her purity, as this is the only way to beat Jalandhara. She promised that it would not be considered a sin.

Lord Vishnu, disguised as Jalandhara, his wife Vrinda’s purity. Vrinda, overcome by sorrow and anger, curses Lord Vishnu, requesting that he be transformed into a black stone known as “Shaligram,” which is still located on the banks of the Gandaki River.

Vrinda also curses him, saying that one day his wife will be kidnapped by deception and will be separated from him. This curse manifests when Sita, Lord Rama’s wife and an avatar of Lord Vishnu, is kidnapped by Ravana, a demon king. Though, Lord Shiva kills Jalandhar after he loses the fight.

Vrinda, having cursed Lord Vishnu, throws herself onto her husband’s funeral pyres and performs “Sati.” Lord Vishnu acknowledges the curse after repenting for betraying his own wife. Lord Vishnu then promises that a plant will grow from her ashes, called Tulsi, and will be married to the black stone “Shaligram,” ensuring her purity for the rest of her life. He also said that he would never eat without Tulsi, so Lord Vishnu’s “prasadam” always includes a holy Tulsi.

Yeah actually Tulsi plant will be seen in every house in india it also have medicinal properties and also it relates to lord Shiva and lord Krishna :blush: :pray: @Rohitsharma7
