When the divine tree manifested with the penance of Maa Parvati

The secret of the origin of belpatra: news India live, digital desk: The worship of Shiva is considered incomplete without Belpatra. In the month of Sawan, its importance increases even more. But have you ever wondered why this simple -looking leaf is so dear to Bholenath? There is a very beautiful and divine story behind it, which is directly associated with Mata Parvati.

The origin of the vine tree caused by the sweat of mother Parvati

According to the legend, once Mata Parvati was doing harsh penance to get Lord Shiva as her husband on the Mandar mountain. His penance was so extreme that a few drops of sweat fell on the earth from his forehead.

It is believed that a tree was born from the same sweat droplets of Maa Parvati, which we know today as ‘Bell tree’. Since this tree was born from the part of Goddess Parvati, it contains all her forms.

Mother Parvati’s residence is in every part of the tree

You will be surprised to know that not only in the leaves of the bell tree, but in every part, mother Parvati is considered to be:

• In the roots: Mother’s ‘Girija’ form

• In the stem: Mother’s ‘Maheshwari’ form

• In branches: Mother’s ‘Dakshayani’ form

• In leaves: Mother’s ‘Parvati’ form

• In flowers: Mother’s ‘Gauri’ form

Not only this, it is said that the thorns of the bell tree are not even ordinary, they also have the power of the mother’s power.

Where Parvati, Shiva there

Now where there is a residence of Goddess Parvati, there is no Lord Shiva, how can this happen? It is believed that Mahadev himself resides in the roots of bell tree. This is the reason that whoever offers water to the root of the vine tree, he gets a virtuous fruit like bathing in all the pilgrimages.

In this way, the entire vine tree is the form of the true Shiva-Parvati. Therefore, when you offer a bell-leaf on the Shivling, you are offering a part of mother Parvati’s love and true Shiva-Shakti, not just a leaf. This is the reason that Bholenath is pleased with the devotee who offers Belpatra very quickly and fulfills all his wishes.
