The sumptuous offering to Mahaprabhu was lovingly prepared by the ladies of Portland and Eugene headed by Maladhari Devi Dasi.

The devotees have cared for Srimati Tulasi Devi with much dedication and care throughout the freezing Oregon winter.

 tulasi dekhi’, judaya prana madhava-tosani jani’
~Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakur's Suddha Bhakata

"The sight of the holy tulasi tree soothes my soul, for I know she gives pleasure to Lord Krishna."

"One who is aspiring to become a pure devotee should never desire anything else but to purely serve and give joy to the Lord of his heart. When one is unconscious of everything else—“Let it be, whatever He may like”—that is pure devotion for Tulasi, or whomever we are praying to. If one has got that higher sukrti, that suddha-bhakti, the seed of Prema-bhakti, then he won’t be able to think of anything else but Krishna’s pleasure. He’ll think only of the pleasure of his Lord, cent percent, forgetting his own body, mind—everything. That is the purest type of prayer."
