The Meditation Tree planted by Sri Sathya Sai Baba at Prasanthi Nilayam


Wednesday, April 1, 1959

 

Once, while on the sands of the Chitravati, Swami spoke of Buddha, the Bodhi 
tree, and of Sadhakas seeking out special places for their Sadhana. Even as He 
spoke, He drew out of the sands a thick copper plate about 15 inches by 10 
inches in dimension, containing mystic markings and letters of languages both 
known and unknown. He said that such Sasanas were planted under the trees where 
Sadhakas (spiritual aspirants) went to perform their Sadhana. These Sasanas 
enhanced concentration of the mind and control of the senses. He announced that 
He would be placing that Sasana under a Banyan tree He proposes to plant in the 
Tapovanam on the hill behind Prashanti Mandir. Swami declared that Yogis who 
had reached a certain stage of evolution would automatically be drawn to the 
Tree and the Sasana in this Tapovanam. The congregation of such evolved souls 
at this Tapovanam would thus justify its name.
