Guest guest Posted January 27, 2002 Report Share Posted January 27, 2002 Dear friends: Please help me with this detail of research. Sri Ramakrishna says of one of his visions, " I saw Chaitanya’s party singing and dancing near the Panchavati, between the banyan tree and the bakul tree. " Is the bakul tree one of the five trees of the Panchavati? Elsewhere (on the internet) I saw the five trees named as the banyan, the ashvattha, the vilva, the neem, and the myrobalan (and it was said that of these, only the ashvattha survives).

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2002 Report Share Posted January 28, 2002 Namaste, These references will make it clear! The Bakul tree was separate from the Panchavati group! http://www.hinduism.fsnet.co.uk/namoma/kathamritam/frame_main_kathamri tam.htm the Panchavati, a sacred grove of five trees (banyan, peepul, neem, amalaki, and bel); ============================================================= http://www.kathamrita.org/apostle/m10_17.htm M. rises after resting for a while and returns to the Panchavati via the south-western corner of the tank and proceeds towards the Ganga passing in between the Ashwatha and the Banyan trees. Then he goes to the south. In front of him is the Bakul tree. It is an old tree of Thakur's time.
