The 57th Anniversary of Vatavriksham Tree

Prasanthi Nilyam 29 06 2016

 

In April of 1959, while talking one evening on the sands of the Chitravathi River to a gathering of devotees, Bhagawan Baba spoke of Buddha and the Bodhi tree, the “Tree of Wisdom,” and of the Sadhakas (spiritual aspirants) seeking some specially favorable spots for their austerities. Even as He was speaking thus, He “took” out from the sands a thick copper plate about fifteen inches by ten inches in size, which contained mystic markings and letters of many known and unknown alphabets! Swami announced that He would be placing the copper plate under a Banyan tree that He proposed to plant in the grove.

 

The planting of the tree was actually done on 29th June, 1959, and Bhagawan Baba declared that Yogis, who have reached a certain stage of spiritual progress will automatically come to know of this tree and this mystic plate, and they will be drawn by the mysterious force of these toward the meditation grove, which will then fully justify its name!

 

The 57^th anniversary of planting of this Holy tree, was celebrated this morning, at 10 00 AM, Bhajans were conducted after chanting of Veda and Sri Sathya Sai Astothram. Mangala Arathi to the Meditation Tree and Bhagawan marked the end of the Special prayer, on this occasion.

The Vata Vriksha in Prasanthi Niayam is a symbol of spiritual austerity…sign of supreme tranquility…
