INTRODUCTION Originally this book was intended to be published in three volumes: 1. Collection of Vedic evidence about Śrīmati Tulasī Devi from various sources ranging from śruti to Purāņas, and writings of past ācāryas. For that reason, it was called Tulasī-mahimāmṛta, the nectar of glories of Śrīmati Tulasī Devi. Later on, some texts were included that also contain glories of the Amalaki (Dhātri) tree, so currently this part is called Tulasī-dhātrī-mahimāmṛta, the nectar of glories of Śrīmati Tulasi Devi (and Amalaki). 2. A practical guide for caring and serving Śrīmati Tulasī Devi in Her plant form. It is to be a compilation of works by various authors. Therefore the name chosen for it is Tulasī-sevāmṛta, the nectar of serving Śrīmati Tulasi Devī. 3. A detailed reference for the country-wise sources of the materials and resources mentioned in Volume 2. The idea is that Volume 1 describes the glories of Her service, and therefore people should be happy to “get dirty”. Śrī Sananda Kumāra Dasa told the editor over the phone once when he was visiting the United Kingdom in 2008-2009, "Śrīmati Tulasi Devi's service must be 50% perspiration and 50% take shelter of Her, without that commitment one will never know who She really is." The Tulasi-mahimāmṛta is the help for part two of Sananda Kumāra's point, now we're trying to help everyone to sweat efficiently by part two, Tulasī-sevāmṛta, to how important Her service is. The current edition is the initial attempt to present whatever has been collected so far. It mostly contains materials meant for Volume 1 with a few articles to be included in Volume 2. For now, they are presented in one volume as Part 1 and Part 2 correspondingly. In the future, more info will be added to both published separate e-books. The public is welcome to write to the editor (contacts provided above) if they want to find in this book the elaboration of some particular points on serving Śrīmati Tulasi Devī
