I assume the really great thing is to have Tulsi leaves for offering. Apparently, there is need be in right mind set while chanting mantras, prayers, and making offerings.
If the Yogi was able to attain Vaikuntha Dhama by making offerings in his mind then perhaps with some effort offerings before the lotus feet of Vaisnava Guru-Parampara and Lord Sri Krsna will be successful.
Lord Sri Krsna is interested in our sincere love. He does not need any of these material things.
Have you tried offering prayers to Tulasi devi when making offerings and chanting the Holy names of Srimati Tulasi devi?
TULASI DEVI
SRI TULASI PRADAKSINA MANTRA (Sing while circumambulating Tulasi.)
yani kani ca papani brahma-hatyadikani ca tani tani pranasyanti pradaksinah pade pade
"By the circumambulation of Srimati Tulasi Devi all the sins one may have committed are destroyed at every step,even the sin of killing a brahmana."
vrndavani, vrnda, visvapujita, puspasara, nandini, krsna-jivani, visva-pavani, tulasi. Vrndavani – One who first manifested in vrindavan. Vrnda – The goddess of all plants. Visvapujita – One who the whole universe worships. Puspasara – The topmost of all flowers, without whom Krsna does not like to look upon other flowers. Nandini – She gives happiness to everyone. Krsna-Jivani – The life and soul of Lord Krsna. Visva-Pavani – One who purifies the three worlds. Tulasi – One who has no comparison. Any one while worshipping Tulasi Devi chants these eight names will get the same result as one who performs the Asvameda Yagna and one who on the full moon-day of Kartik (Tulasi Devi’s appearance day) worships Her with this mantra will break free from the bonds of this miserable world of birth and death, and very quickly attain Goloka Vrindavan. On the full moon-day of Kartik Lord Krsna Himself worships Tulasi Devi with this mantra. One who remembers this mantra will very quickly attain devotion to Lord Krsna’s Lotus Feet. [Gita-Mahatmya and Tulasi devi Mahatmya of Padma Purana.]
