mahAlakshmi is the supreme rejuvenator who runs the evolutionary cycle in Universe that creates the 'wealth' of the Universe (Land, metals, plants, cattle and knowledge). Tulsi in plants is said to be equivalent to mahAlakshmi, as it provides rejuvenation to human beings, assisting mahAlakshmi. How..?
Many herbs have compounds that are anti-microbial or adaptogens (physical, mental stress relieving). Of all known herbs, Tulasi has highest physical, mental stress relieving (adaptogen) compounds. It also has significant anti-microbial compounds though lesser than neem. This combination makes it an ideal 'rejuvenator' for us. Hence it is called tulasi or 'equivalent' to mahAlakshmi, the original rejuvenator of Universe.
