Greetings Prainbrow

 

I am not sure about the Wish Giving Tree, but I do know that there

are strong relationship between DEVI and Vegetation particularly

trees. I was in the library and found a picture of a seal discovered

in the Indus Valley entitled "Mother Earth" depicting a

Female giving

birth to a tree. Possibility that perhaps tree itself symbolizes as a

source of creation and the vegetal essence of life.

 

Ganga Devi is said to have emerged from a tree.

Salutations to the Lotus feet of Durga Devi !

 

Dear Devotee od the Divine Mother,

 

Durga Devi ( For that matter all forms of devi) are associated with

the wish -fullfilling Tree, called Kalpa-Vriksa . *Kalpa* can be

translated to mean *wishes* and *vriksha* to mean *tree*. Since the

divine mother grants or fulffils all our wishes (both material and

spiritual) she is referred to as 'Kalpavriksha' as the celestial tree

that grants all our wishes. The Kundalini shakti in the human body is

also referred to as the Kalpavriksha in tantra shastra. The roots of

the Celestial tree (kalpavriksha) are in the Mooladhara Chakra in

the base of the spine and its branches and leaves with fruits in the

Sahasrara Chakra in the brain.The Kalpavriksha mantra is" OM HREEM

SHREEM KREEM DURGATI-NASHINYAI MAHAMAYAYAI SVAHA. " If you recite

this mantra to Durga devi, She will remove all obstacles.

 

Aum sree Durga Devyaii namo namaha!
