Swamy,
One mango tree branch for thoranam with 4 to 6 leaves costs ₹25!!!
So Patram, Pushpam, Phalam and Thoyam everything became costly.
How to do Bhakthi?

Swamy in one of the Upanyasams mentions that an old , poor couple was discussing about preparing Dhanur masa pongal for the next day early morning as below:
Mama says to prepare 1 padi arisi with 1/4 portion paruppu.
Mami says for 1 padi pongal, pure cow ghee to be atleast 100ml so that it is tasty and excess for perumal.
Mama says add Mundiri, Thratchai , ginger etc. More do that it is very taty for perumal to enjoy….and after this conversation both went to sleep…
The truth is they dont have single penny or rice etc., பரம ஏழை.
The next day they wake up and do their routine chorous/ nithya anushtanams etc. but not preparing pongal…
But, Bhaghawan already had their delicious / tasty ( நெய் சொட்ட சொட்ட, சூடான பொங்கல்) the moment they were eager and willing to prepare so , though not having anything at home…
So, it is the mind, willingness, love and affection towards Him that is more important than anything else…
ஒரு துளசியை அவர் திருவடியில் சமர்பித்த பலனுக்கு எதுவும் ஈடில்லை.
Having said so , doesn’t mean that we just do it ( only Thulsi) whenwe can do a lot ( யதா சக்தி)..
Adiyen Ramanujadhasan.
Super Reply Swami! The key is “யதா சக்தி” and “desire”. Confirmed by both Andal in “தூயோமாய் வந்து நாம் * தூமலர் தூவித் தொழுது * and by Kannan himself in “yo me bhaktyā prayacchati”. Perumal doesn’t care about output! And this is the beauty of Sanatan Dharma!

Are we understanding we have commercialized every element of nature which is against Krishna’s acceptance?
Dasanudasan
When
Sri Krishna said:
Patram Pushpam Phalam ThOyam
Krishna meant
It’s easy these are freely available in nature. So you can contribute those and do Bhakthi to me.
Krishna is expecting something including Athma Nivedanam.
We have made everything difficult now. Only Athma nobody can sell.
Who knows nowadays organ trade is peaking, Athma also couldn’t be offered consciously I believe.
Dasanudasan
YathA Shakthi – Adiyen contesting this phrase.
This we are using to cheat Perumal.
Nothing is ours.
That what is our YatHA Shakthi?
Nothing is permanant.
Then what is yathA Shakthi?
Avan sothu edhuthu avanukkEy Kuduthu namma yathA Shakthi nu epudi solla mudiyum?

Sri Velukkudi Krishnan Swamy used to share ” There was a King who sold his kingdom for a single flower to Sri Ranganathan”
Rangan told “That flower is too heavy to me”
