 Tulsi Lake - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tulsi Lake is a fresh water lake in northern Mumbai that supplies part of the city's potable water.

Tulsi and Vihar lakes met the city's water requirements until 1884, when the Tansa Dam was commissioned.

Tulsi Sahib had noble ancestry, and he belonged to the royal lineage of the Peshwas.
One thing that all factions agree upon, though, is that Tulsi Sahib consolidated the teachings of nirguna bhakti, expounded the path of surat shabd yoga, and was largely responsible for the popular usage of the term Sant mat.
Tulsi's writings, in the tradition of earlier Sant poets, denounce idol worship, tantric excesses, sectarianism, and ritualism prevalent in several of the popular religious movements of his time.
