TULSI
Planting Tulsi at home is said to bring continuous blessings of Vishnu Bhagwan, mata Lakshmi and pitrus.
1)Rama tulsi and Shyam tulsi both can be planted at home. Rama tulsi is preferred over Shyama tulsi and is said to be bring peace and harmony
2)If you worship shri Krishna at home then you can plant Shyama tulsi
3)Either plant one tulsi or plant them in odd numbers like 3,5,7 plants
4)North or north east or east direction is auspicious for planting Tulsi ji
5)Avoid planting them on roof

6)Always plant tulsi ji on a elevated place like a flower pot and not on the ground directly
A very common mistake people do is that they pour water offered to Surya or other devta in Tulsi ji. This is wrong and brings a Dosha. Always offer fresh water to tulsi ji.
जटाधरं पाण्डुरंगं शूलहस्तं कृपानिधिम् ।
सर्वरोगहरं देवं दत्तात्रेयमहं भजे ।।
People who do not have any guru and are looking for one should certainly worship and visit Shri Dattatreya temple and offer besan laddoos. You can do it on Thursdays and/or Poornima
Pray to him sincerely and ask him for guidance. Post that feed cows, dogs and birds.
People who cannot visit temple can keep a photo at home and offer a lamp daily with sweets. Pray to him sincerely

There is a lot of misinformation prevalent on SM regarding Sadhna and rituals. Sincere prayers to him will ultimately direct you towards correct knowledge (personal experience)
Note: people with afflicted Jupiter, weak/afflicted 9H/9th lord or having weak or negative planets in 9H must pray to him.
Bhairav ashtami tomorrow. A very auspicious day to visit any bhairav temple, lighting a lamp and offering naivedya. One of the story mentioned in our puranas states that Shivaji chopped the head of Brahmaji because Brahmaji has lied and was full of ego.
However as a result of this Shivaji got the dosha of Brahmahatya. The skull( kapala) of Brahmaji got attached to Shivaji. Shivaji later disassosiated with that body and the body that was left behind turned Black in colour. This is the origin of kal bhairav.
Kal bhairav ji roamed like this for 12 years trying to get rid of that kapala. Finally he was told to stay in kashi as those days sin could not enter kashi. When he entered kashi, the kapala disassociated and fell down. The place is where Chand bhairav temple is situated today.
HOW MANY DEEPAK TO LIGHT 🪔
Few tips :
1)On Dhanteras light 13 Diyas/lamps. The Diyas should preferably be old and used ones. If not possible then light new ones and this time save and store them for next Diwali.
