History
<p>The goddess Sati is thought to have taken on the form of bael trees. Bael trees are frequently spotted in the vicinity of Hindu temples and in their gardens. Due to the bael leaf's triple shape, which represents Lord Shiva's trident, it is thought that the Hindu deity Lord Shiva enjoys bael trees and that its leaves and fruit still play a significant role in his worship.</p> <p>Since the beginning of time, India has known about Bael. Hindus revere it as a sacred tree because they connect it to Lord Shiva. Shiv Purana, a Sanskrit text from the seventh century AD, claims that Shiva manifests as the bael tree. Hindu texts contain numerous accounts of Bael, who holds a prominent place in Hindu mythology.</p> <p>Bael has compound leaves with three lobes. Each lobe is thought to represent one of Lord Shiva's three roles, namely creation, preservation, and destruction. Additionally, it is thought that they stand in for Lord Shiva's three eyes. Their sacrifice to Lord Shiva is thought to be successful in atoning for sins committed in the previous three lifetimes.<br /> Praying under a bael tree is seen to be good, and the person who does so is claimed to find happiness and prosperity. Bathing while seated beneath a bael tree is comparable to bathing in the sacred ponds at a large number of Hindu holy locations or the holy river Ganges.</p> <p>The Bael tree is often referred to as Shreebriksha, the tree of prosperity and luck. Lakshmi , the Hindu goddess of wealth, is said to have been born as a sacred cow, and the bael tree arose from her manure, according to the ancient Sanskrit text Banihipurana. It is thought to bring prosperity as a result of this link with the goddess of wealth.<br /> Another myth states that Saraswati, the Hindu goddess of knowledge, and Lakshmi were both brides of Lord Vishnu. More than Lakshmi, Saraswati was Vishnu's favourite. Lakshmi decided to worship Shiva out of fury at this. Lakshmi spent a very long time meditating on Shiva, but he never showed up in front of her. Lakshmi eventually transformed into the Bael tree, where Shiva currently resides.</p> <p>The Bael, sometimes referred to as Bel, Vembu, or Valpippali in various regions, is a sacred plant in some Asian nations. Even the plant's leaves and fruit are used in worship. It is thought that these plants can help some wishes come true. Some Hindus in western India worship this plant as a source of long life and health. This plant's fruit is used as a wholesome food supplement. It has been utilised as one of the components in the creation of herbal medications that treat a variety of ailments.</p> <p>In India, the Bel tree is another revered and lucky tree that is thought to be connected to Lord Shiva. Bilva is the name given to the Bel tree leaves that are offered to Lord Shiva in order to appease Him. The trifoliate or tripatra leaves of the bel tree are thought to represent the Lord's three works of creation, preservation, and destruction as well as his<strong> </strong>three eyes<strong><strong>.</strong></strong> So during the worship of Lord Shiva offering Bel leaves is compulsory.</p>
