Bilva Leaves, Bilva Tree & Lord Shiva - A matchless combination for getting great boons


  • Shiva Purana says that the divine and most scared Bilva tree is the manifest form of Lord Shiva himself.

  • Under the bilva tree and at its base, all the great tirthas are said to reside

  • One who worships the shivalinga while sitting under the Bilva tree, attains Shiva Loka prapthi.

  • A person who washes his head by this tree is said to have taken bath in all the sacred rivers of the world

  • One who performs Bilva pooja with flowers and incense achieves Shiva Loka, the abode of pure consciousness, and has happiness and prosperity bestowed upon them. 

  • The lighting of the deepa (lamp) in front of this tree bestows knowledge and enables the devotee to merge in Lord Shiva. 

  • If a devotee performs bilva archana to a bilva tree with freshly plucked bilva leaves from the same bilva tree and worships the tree, he/she will be freed from all vices

  • A devotee who feeds another devotee under the Bilva will grow in virtue.

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