Tulsi Stick Wick in Adhikmas (Purushottam Mas) – The Most Auspicious Month for Tulsi Seva

Once every 32–33 months, the Hindu lunar calendar adds an extra month called Adhikmas, also known as Purushottam Mas or Mal Maas. This month, presided over by Lord Purushottam (Vishnu) himself, is considered extraordinarily powerful for spiritual practice, charity, and devotion.

Why is Adhikmas Special?

Adhikmas is a month that “belongs” to Lord Vishnu. Because no major auspicious events (weddings, griha pravesh) are performed during this time, devotees are free to dedicate the entire month to bhajan, kirtan, fasting, and seva. The spiritual merit (punya) earned during Adhikmas is said to be multiplied manifold compared to regular months.

The Role of Tulsi Stick Wick in Adhikmas

Lighting a Tulsi Batti (Tulsi Stick Wick) during Adhikmas is one of the most recommended acts of devotion. Here’s why:

• Tulsi is the most beloved plant of Lord Vishnu — offering her light during His special month is considered the highest form of seva.
• Scriptures mention that lighting 108 Tulsi wicks during Adhikmas can cleanse sins of many lifetimes.
• Performing Tulsi Pradakshina while lighting Tulsi Batti each evening is a powerful daily ritual.
• Donating Tulsi Battis to temples or fellow devotees during this month is considered an act of great charity.

Adhikmas Ritual with Tulsi Batti

Morning: Light a Tulsi Batti at the Tulsi plant in your home or puja room while chanting “Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya”.

Evening: Perform Tulsi Aarti using Tulsi Batti, offer water to the Tulsi plant, and sing the Tulsi Chalisa or Vishnu Sahasranama.

Special Practice: Light 108 Tulsi Battis on Ekadashi days during Adhikmas for maximum spiritual benefit.

Adhikmas comes rarely — make every day of this sacred month count with the pure light of Tulsi.
