Mistakes Not to Do While Placing Tulsi Mata in Your House
Placing Tulsi Mata (Holy Basil) in your home isn't just about making things look good for Instagram (#VastuAesthetic)—it's a deeply spiritual act connected to how energy flows, purification, and bringing blessings into your life. But just like any divine presence, Tulsi comes with its own set of guidelines. Making mistakes isn't just a simple slip-up; it can actually mess with your peace, your prosperity, and even your family's harmony. Here are the top mistakes you should absolutely never make when placing Tulsi Mata at home: 1. Placing Tulsi in the South or South-West Direction Tulsi Mata thrives on positive energy. The South and South-West directions are traditionally associated with Yama (the deity of death) and Rahu (a shadow planet often linked to illusions and chaos)—definitely not her preferred kind of company. The ideal spot is the East, North, or North-East, where sunlight and sacred energy can flow freely. 2. Keeping It Inside the Kitchen or Bathroom That's like seating a queen in a busy food court or right next to a drain. Tulsi is considered sacred—she deserves her own clean, open, and elevated space, ideally outside or on a verandah. The intense heat of the kitchen and the often stagnant energy of the bathroom simply clash with her pure, sattvic nature. 3. Letting It Dry or Die A neglected Tulsi plant sends a clear signal of blocked blessings. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trading CFD dengan Teknologi dan Kecepatan Lebih Baik IC Markets Mendaftar If she dries up because of neglect, it can actually bring negative effects into the household. Regular watering, sufficient sunlight, and treating her with respect are absolutely non-negotiable. Also, traditionally, you shouldn't touch her with unwashed hands or during menstrual cycles—this is about respecting tradition, not following a fleeting trend. 4. Using Metal Pots or Planters Tulsi and metal pots? A big no-no. Earthen or clay pots are the sacred standard. They naturally resonate with earth energy and align perfectly with Tulsi Mata's spiritual frequency. Plus, they do a better job of keeping her roots cool and allowing them to breathe. 5. Placing Her Near Cactus, Bonsai, or Thorny Plants This isn't a sitcom where everyone gets along regardless of personality. Cactus and Tulsi are energetic opposites. Thorny plants tend to absorb energy, while Tulsi is all about radiating it. And a Bonsai represents stunted growth—definitely not something Tulsi wants to be associated with. 6. Skipping the Evening Diya Not lighting a diya (lamp) near Tulsi Mata at dusk? That's a missed opportunity for divine blessings. Lighting a ghee lamp every single evening is believed to attract prosperity and protect your home from any negativity.

Is Kerala's Seafood Still Safe? What We Know After Cargo Vessel Sinks Off Coast
Last Updated: The MSC ELSA 3 was carrying 13 hazardous containers, 12 containers of calcium carbide, 84.44 metric tonnes of diesel and 367.1 metric tonnes of furnace oil. The sinking of the Liberian container vessel MSC ELSA 3 off the coast of Kochi, Kerala, on May 25 has raised alarms among local residents. The ship was carrying 640 containers, including 13 holding hazardous cargo. While authorities have assured that no spill has been reported so far, growing concerns linger over the potential threat to marine life and the seafood supply that sustains many in the region. The state government has declared the incident a state-specific disaster after taking into account the potentially serious environmental, social and economic impact, the Hindu reported. As concerns grow, here's a quick explainer on what happened, how authorities are responding, and whether any impact has been observed on seafood in the region. What Happened To The MSC ELSA 3? The 28-year-old vessel was en route to Kochi from Vizhinjam port in Thiruvananthapuram when it capsized approximately 25 km southwest of Alappuzha on May 25. All 24 crew members onboard were safely rescued. The ship is owned by Cyprus-based MSC Shipmanagement. The Indian Coast Guard's 'swift action" helped avoid a major oil spill from the capsized container ship, officials of the Directorate General of Shipping stated on Wednesday. What Was Onboard The MSC ELSA 3? Apart from 13 hazardous containers, the ship was carrying 12 containers of calcium carbide, 84.44 metric tonnes of diesel and 367.1 metric tonnes of furnace oil. Officials have ruled out a major spill. However, Dr T.M. Balakrishnan Nair, the director of Indian National Centre for Ocean Information Services (INCOIS), confirmed that there were traces of oil along the Alappuzha coast, Indian Express reported. Nair stated that authorities did not expect 'a massive oil slick" since most of the fuel was contained. Earlier, a simulation by the agency indicated that if all the diesel and furnace oil from the ship were to leak into the sea, there was a high possibility that it would drift towards the Kerala coast. Clean Up Process The authorities have deployed clean-up vessels. Aerial surveillance is being conducted to track the spread of pollutants alongside the coast. A total of 108 personnel have been tasked with container recovery and cleanup onshore. The top priorities for the authorities include recovering the oil, removing containers that have washed up on beaches and retrieving the containers adrift at sea. They have set a deadline of July 3 for completing the oil recovery efforts. Is It Safe To Consume Seafood In The Region? As of right now, authorities have advised people that there is no reason to panic. The State Fisheries Department and the Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute (CMFRI) are actively monitoring the situation for any signs of contamination. Regular water sampling is underway, and authorities are closely tracking any signs of contamination. State Fisheries Minister Saji Cherian told the Indian Express, 'Nothing hazardous has so far landed along the coast and fish can be consumed without fear." CMFRI Director Dr Grinson George explained to Mathrubhumi News that there was no reason to avoid eating seafood presently, as fishing is currently banned in the immediate vicinity of the wreck. This means that fish from the affected area are not being sold in the market. He added that a clearer picture of the impact will emerge soon as analysis is underway.
