Taking to his social media account today, the Prime Minister wished that the festival may bring peace to the earth and in people’s lives. “Today is Harishayani Ekadashi, the day for planting a basil plant. The festival symbolically represents a time for cleansing our soul and body and for maintaining the environmental balance. Traditionally, it is marked by fasting, meditation, and limited food intake, practices that help promote inner peace,” the Prime Minister said. The Harishayani Ekadasi falls on the Ashad Shukla Paksha or the 11th day of the bright fortnight in the month of Asar in the lunar month. It is considered an auspicious day for planting Tulasi (Basil plant) which holds great significance in both Ayurvedic medicine and Vedic tradition. Today, Hindu devotees observed the festival by planting Tulsi sapling in their homes. The seeds are sown nearly a month ago in preparation for this ‘sacred’ day.
