This song is written by Sree Purandara Dasaru, and is in Kalyani Raaga and Adi tala. The lyrics were provided to me by my Aunt, Ms. Lalitha. She said my great great grandfather used to ask her to sing this song during Tulasi Habba. Thanks Aunty for this wonderful song.
Attached below are the lyrics in Kannada and English.
ಒಲ್ಲನೋ ಹರಿ ಕೊಳ್ಳನೋ -ಎಲ್ಲ ಸಾಧನವಿದ್ದೂ ತುಳಸಿ ಇಲ್ಲದ ಪೂಜೆ (2)
ಸಿಂಧು ಶತ ಕೋಟಿ ಗಂಗೋದಕವಿದ್ದೂ ಗಂಧಸುಪರಿಮಳ ವಸ್ತ್ರವಿದ್ದೂ
ಚೆಂದುಳ್ಳ ಆಭರಣಾ ಧೂಪ ದೀಪಗಳಿದ್ದೂ
ಬೃಂದಾವನ ಶ್ರೀ ತುಳಸಿ ಇಲ್ಲದ ಪೂಜೆ (ಒಲ್ಲನೋ ಹರಿ ಕೊಳ್ಳನೋ )
ಪೂಜೆಯ ಮಾಡದೆ ತುಳಸಿ ಮಂಜರಿ ಇಂದಾ - ಮೂಜಗದೊದೆಯಾ ಮುರಾರಿಯನೂ
ರಾಜಾಧಿ ರಾಜನೆಂಬ ಮಂತ್ರ ಪುಷ್ಪಗಳಿಂದ
ಪೂಜಿಸಿದರೂ ಒಲ್ಲ ಪುರಂಧರ ವಿಠಲನೊ(ಒಲ್ಲನೋ ಹರಿ ಕೊಳ್ಳನೋ )
ollano hari kollano- ella saadhanaviddoo tulsai illada pooje (2)
sindhu shatakoti gangodakaviddoo gandha suparimala vastraviddoo
chendulla aabharana dhoopa deepagaliddoo
brindavana sri tulasi illada pooje (ollano hari kollano)
poojeya maadade tulasi manjariindaa moojagadodeyaa murariyanoo
rajadhi raajanemba mantra pushpagalinda
poojisidaroo olla purnadhara vittalanoo (2) (ollano hari kollano)
Note: My Aunt Ms. Lalitha has provided this link where you can buy Tulasi plant. Thanks Aunty.
