Guest guest Report post Posted January 28, 2009 Dear Gupte Ji Jaya Siyaa Raam Thanks very much for writing so much about Kalp Taru. In fact I have never thought that Kalp Taru can be present on Earth also, because as it came out of the churning of the ocean, it was taken by Indra and he planted i his Nandan Van garden. How it can be on Prithvi? Net it fulfilles wishes - now do these trees which yu have mentioned fulfill people's wishes? If this happens on Earth, nothing is impossible for anybody here. So I doubt it whether those trees are Kalp Taru. One can name any tree any name but I doubt that those trees can fulfill people's wish. If you find such a tree, let me also know.

Guest guest Report post Posted January 28, 2009 Respected gurujanos, Just today on aajtaak channel on dharm topic they where discusing on this tree kalpvrukhs they showned in MATHURA where krisna had showned this tree to radhaji which now is in form on black stone & so people where praying that stone [shilla] pouring milk & says you can fullfill your wishes here, so in MATHURA this KALPVRUKHS tree is in form of shilla. Also in RANCHI where this tree is still alive the city people now wonts to cut the sacred tree because they have to widen the roads so really NO ONE wonts to object on this tree so I dont know whether they really think this is such a sacred tree??? or no one beleave that this tree as kalpvrukhs tree. so BHAGVATJEE may be right???

Guest guest Report post Posted January 28, 2009 Dear Sushma jee,I don't know what is real Kalpa Taru.....As since childhood i heard many stories about kalpataru.Some referred Parijatka as kalpa vriksha some referred coconut tree as kalpa vriksha.Recently some one from Nagpur said about plantation of kalpavriksha in my tour to Nagpur area.Unfortunately I could not visit the place.However I am just looking for more comments from various people in this forum about Kalpa Vriksha.Further about the its ability to full fill wish....there are few such trees all over the world u can visit following link.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wish_TreeThere r many such interesting topics which can be discussed under this forum...One such is Loha Nashini.does any one know about Loha nashini???H R Guptebhagvatjee <bhagvatjee wrote: Dear Gupte JiJaya Siyaa RaamThanks very much for writing so much about Kalp Taru.

Guest guest Report post Posted January 29, 2009 The Christian tradition of celebrating Christmas (Krishna Mas or dark month) by placing gifts, etc. under an ornamented tree is believed by some scholars to have it's origin in the Vedic Kalpavriksha legend. Shri Krishna is often portrayed playing on his flute with Surabhi, standing under such a tree. The deity Krishna was left out and forgotten when the ancient pagan world was converted to Abrahamic religions. At least that is my view, I am sure many will object.To learn the full story I recommend reading 'World Vedic Heritage' by late P.N. Oak. The Parijata tree of Indra was stolen by Krishna and taken to Dwaraka to please his consort Rukmini. I don't know if the tree presently called Parijata is the same or a substitute for the original.

Guest guest Report post Posted January 29, 2009 Dear All Jaya Siyaa Raam I think people are misinterpreting Kalp Vriksh with the trees which are famous for fulfilling wish. In fact, first of all a Kalp Vriksh cannot be on Prithvi, real Paarijaat Vriksh or plant is also such a tree. What we call Paarijaat plant is just named after the original tree. WHY, because Paariaat's flowers never wilt away - so ask yourself, if your Paarijaat flower is wilting or not? If yes, it is not a real Paarijaat tree. In the same way, in this world, there are many places, trees, mountains etc which are famous for fulfilling wish. Kalp Vrikash is not like a tree which sometimes fulfills wish while at other times does not. Has anybody seen such a tree which fulfills every single person's every single wish all the time? If yes, then it is real Kalp Taru. Indra cannot afford such a Kalp Taru which at one time fulfills his wish, while at other times does not. Just imagine, if such a tree had existed in this world, why many would have suffered? Hope this satisfis the anxious people.
