Krishna Devotional Centre
– We should not touch Tulasi Devi on Dvadasi or pick Her leaves. 
– We can pick Her leaves on Ekadasi Tithi. 
– The prasadi-mala of Sri Krishna can be offered to Guru and Vaisnavas. 
– We should not burn Tulasi leaves. 
– Nor should we burn Her wood in regular fires.
– If possible, can trim Tulasi, then pray for Her forgiveness.
– Depending on your circumstances, try to avoid taking medicine on Ekadasi.
