Where was the  Bilva tree born ?

The Bilva tree is of  the species of Fig. The leaves,

of which are sacred and pleasing to the God.  

In the Mythology, when Lord Sree Maha Vishnu was doing

 penance  with Goddess Sri Lakshmi Devi  for the God Siva,

the tree Bilva was born from the right hand of Sree Lakshmi Devi.

Then the Lord Siva was appeared infront of them and entrusted

to  Sree Narayana the duty of  protecting the world .

The Bilva tree is also being called as Sree Vruksham which is

sacred. This sacred Bilva tree was planted in the celestial world

(Indra loka), on the Mountain of Mandara and also in the

Vaikuntha loka. 

This Bilva Tree which is  beloved to Lord Siva can

be treated as so sacred and with their leaves we can  worship

lord Siva any day. If we pick or pluck the leaves on Monday,

then we should worship on the same day. 

We should not worship  with the dried leaves and also 

the leaves are not useful whichare two or three days 

before picked up  from the tree. 

If we circumambulate round the Bilva Tree, all the

 evil offences will be removed.

Those who are not having the progeny will beget children.

The Bilva Leave is itself more valuable than a lakh of golden flowers.
