INTRODUCTION<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kalpavriksha<\/strong>\u00a0also known as\u00a0kalpataru<\/strong> and kalpadruma<\/strong>\u00a0is a wish-fulfilling divine tree as mentioned in\u00a0Hinduism,<\/a> Jainism<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Buddhism<\/a> texts. The Kalpavriksha appeared during the\u00a0“churning of the\u00a0divine ocean<\/a>” along with the\u00a0Kamadhenu<\/a> and other auspicious divine gods. The Holy tree is kept by Indra<\/a> in his swarkaloka. This tree gives whatever we ask for, and it is a very holy one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Hinduism, we will mention some great saints similar to Kalpavriksha and Kamadhenu, since they fulfil the wishes of their devotees. The great Madhwa saint \u201cSREE RAGHAVENDRA SWAMY<\/strong>\u201d is described as the holy tree Kalpavriksha and the Divine Cow Kamadhenu in the famous stotra written by his ardent disciple \u201cSREE APPANACHARYA<\/strong>\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kalpavriksha is mentioned in hindu puranas and other ancient texts. In the previous dwaparayuga, Lord Krishna fought with Lord Indra to bring the divine tree to his dwaraka from heaven towards fulfilling the wishes of his wife \u201cMATA SATYABAMA<\/strong>\u201d. After the end of his avatar, the holy tree flew from dwaraka and reached swarkaloka. This tree is guarded by the divine attendants of Lord Indra in the SwarkaLoka.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is also believed that those who keep the tree with them will not be affected from any sins, diseases and death. They will shine brightly like a sun and get all the desires fulfilled through the divine tree. But for us it is not possible, since it is kept under the custody of Devendra, the king of demi gods in the heaven.Instead of that, we can pray to the divine tree from our place, and can get all the prosperity in our life. The great poet Kalidasa also praises the tree in his famous poetry Meghaduta. The parijata tree is compared to that of the divine tree \u201cKALPAVRIKSHA<\/strong>\u201d, since it contains lot of medicinal properties and the flower of the tree is used for adorning the god\u2019s deities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The tree can be compared\nsimilar to Mata Lakshmi, since both of them emerged from the divine ocean.\nThough the tree is not specifically worshipped by the people, it is believed\nthat through the grace of Kakpavriksha, the trees in the earth are giving more\nbenefits to the mankind, like coconut tree and palm tree. And it is also\nbelieved that all the trees in the earth contains the features of Kalpavriksha,\nsince each and every tree, gives some sort of benefit to us. They are giving\nshelter during the winter and summer season. Various birds are building their\nown nests in the trees only, and they are living through the grace of the\ndivine tree \u201cKALPAVRIKSHA<\/strong>\u201d. The holy\ntree Kalpavriksha is considered as the king among the trees. We can chant the\nmantra \u201cOM SREE KALPAVRIKSHAYA NAMAHA<\/strong>\u201d\nregularly while doing puja in our home, and also we can recite the mantra in\nthe temples in order to gain more fortunes in our life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let us worship the great\ndivine tree and be blessed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
