Guest guest Posted October 1, 2005 Report Share Posted October 1, 2005 -Hari-Om Stories of Parijata or Parijatak Tree Once a royal princess fell in love with the sun god , Surya-Deva.She was enamored of his brilliance and beauty as he daily passed through the sky from east to west in his fiery chariot. Her devotion attracted his attention and for a while he favoured her with his attention but after a while he was distracted with other interests and she felt ignored. In despair she killed herself and from her cremated ashes the P rijatak tree arose. Since she was rejected by Surya-Dev ,the floweres of the tree only bloom at night.Then bfore the sun rises the floweres fall so its rays will notstrike her. Based on this story the tree was given the species name 'earbortristisi' which means tree of sorrow. ====How the Parijata tree was stolen by Shree Krishna from the garden of Indra: To follow.==== Jai Shree Krishna ! -- In guruvayur , LG <lagan29> wrote: > dear members > > i would like to know the significance of Parijatha - the flower > and its reference to the shastras > > regards > lalethaa > > > > India Matrimony: Find your partner now.
