Offering for removing the sins of 3 births

Bilva leaves are considered effective in removing the sins of three births. The tree is sacred to Siva and is worshipped by his followers on the 14th phase of the moon’s wane between the months of Magha (Feb.) and Phalguna (March).

The tree being associated with Goddess Lakshmi, it is also called SRIBIKSHA, the tree of prosperity and good fortune. Bilva leaves are offered to Siva on Mondays in the month of Shra van (July).  Its wood is included in Homa and the Bilva fruit is believed to promote fertility and when offered in a Homa, it is believed to bring in prosperity.

Bilva tree is highly medicinal, particularly useful in curing diseases of the skin by purifying the blood. The fruit, believed to have come from the milk of Sri, is a remedy for dysentery. It is most beneficial when the tree is planted on the north side of the house.

Let the supreme lord’s blessings bring abundant fruits of peace, health, wealth, prosperity, serenity, divinity and spirituality for you and your family.
