Guest guest Posted January 27, 2005 Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 Dear Dolly, I am so glad you asked what a yoni tree is! There is a very large tree on the ashram grounds, near where the outdoor Shiva temple now stands. The trunk of this tree is very thick. It has a large yoni-like opening in one side. Within this opening is a cavernous space in which water can collect. Shree Maa told me that even in the dry season the water remains and serves as a life-giving source for small animals and birds. So She named it the Yoni Tree, a blessing tree. The devotees offer flowers and decorate it from time to time. It marks a very special spot near Napeshwara and facing the holy Lingam.

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2005 Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 I'd like to add that during the lat spring, summer, and early winter months it does not rain in Napa. Typically it does not rain for 9 months of the year. The Yoni tree always has a pool of water in its trunk, even late in the dry season, long after all the streams had dried up. > Dear Dolly, > > I am so glad you asked what a yoni tree is! > > There is a very large tree on the ashram grounds, near where the outdoor > Shiva temple now stands.

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2005 Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 I've heard that yoni-like marks appear in trees as a sign of auspiciousness, especially near temples or jplaces where Divine Mother is worshipped. It is a sign of Devi's blessing for that area. --- brian wrote: > > I'd like to add that during the lat spring, summer, and early winter > months it does not rain in Napa.
