Therefore Lord Sri krishna Caitanya Mahaprabhu is also known as Nemai Pandit. Neem is known to purify the air and keep away unfriendly subtle entities from the house. It is a natural pesticide and recently Newsweek or Time had a cover article on how Neem was the miracle plant of today. I don't know what else you want me to tell you about neem. I am sure any encyclopedia worth its salt might show you a picture of its curved jagged leaves otherwise we could upload a photo next time I get near enough to a neem tree to take a photo of a leaf. I hope this helps. I hope that this finds you in good health. Your ever well wisher, Jayapataka Swami Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
