This is Bhagavaan's
Vaikrit Creation. There are six types of vegetation - (1) Vanaspati - Which gives
fruits without
flowers, e.g. Goolar, Peepal,
Vat (banyan) etc.
(2) Aushadhi (herbs) - Whose life span is only one time. They get
destroyed once the fruit has ripened on them, e.g. rice, wheat, gram
etc.
(3) Lataa (creepers) - Which grow with the help of something, e.g.
Braahmee, Giloya etc and other creepers.
(4) Twaksaar - Whose bark is very hard, e.g. bamboo etc trees.
(5) Veerudh - Creepers which spread on land only because of being heavy
they could not climb upward, e.g. melon, watermelon etc.
(6) Drum - Where fruits replace flowers, e.g. mango, Jaamun (roseberry), guava etc trees.
Tree worship is very old
in Hindooism. Kalp Vriksh, or Nandan Vriksh, which fulfills all wishes,
is with Devtaa. Peepal and Banyan trees are still worshipped by common
people. Dhoop (a vegetable fragrance) and Chandan (sandal) are still
used to worship Devtaa. Tulasee leaves are offered to Vishnu, Bel leaves
are offered to Shiv Jee. Mango leaves are used to decorate doors on
auspicious occasions. Mango wood is used for Havan purpose. Some trees,
flowers and leaves etc are used for worshipping.
It is believed that banyan
tree knows the secret of the heart and nobody dares to lie under it. It
is also believed that God has been seen under it.
Sanjaya tells Dhritraashtra in MBH, Bheeshm Parv, that there are four
kinds of trees - trees, shrubs, creepers and creeping plants (existing
only for one year and all stemless plants of grass species). Names of
some common trees are given below which come under the category of trees
- tall, broad spread vegetation which has a long strong trunk. Some of
them are fruit trees, some are flowering trees, while others are just
trees -
