SACRED TREE

/

Just across the sacred laterite stone is the sacred tree - Saptaparni (Alstonia Scholaris). When Sri Babaji visited the abode of Mayiladumkunnu, this very tree was barely alive! As the devotees were watching, Sri Babaji walked upto the Tree and embraced it! As Sri Babaji was embraced it, water started dripping from the tree. The devotees who were a witness to this, expressed delight at this miracle of the tree coming back to life!

Sri Babaji then declared that this is a very sacred tree and will spring back to life with full green cover within a short span, and will provide solace to all those who visit the abode of Mayiladumkunnu.
