Offended by the prideful Indra, Lord Shiva creates the demon Jalandhar, destined to destroy the demigods. According to prophecy. Jalandhar marries the pious Vrinda, whose great chastity makes the demon unconquerable. Only when God himself tricks Vrinda out of her chastity by taking on an illusory form of her husband, can Jalandhar be defeated.
Vrinda-devi, accusing the Lord of being stone-hearted, curses Him to become a stone (Shalagrama) and burns herself to ashes. In honor of the saintly Vrinda, Lord Vishnu makes her immortal by causing a plant to grow from her ashes (Tulasi). “Every year on this day, the wedding of Tulasi and Shalagrama will be celebrated. Still, Tulasi, you will be considered single.
