STORY OF KALPAVRIKSHA 🌳🌳
As per puranas, when the milky ocean was churned, many things came out including Kama Dhenu and Kalpa Vriksha.
The Kalpavriksha originated during the Samudra manthan. The king of the gods, Indra, returned with this tree to his paradise.
Kalpvriksha as the name indicates( kalpa — imaginary; vriksh *tree* ) it exists in imagination only. It can be hard work , because you get every thing through hard work only.
Kalpavriksha, the “wish-fulfilling tree” is just your ideas! Yours, and that of all humans, put together.
In Indra’s “Devaloka” it is said that there are five Kalpavrikshas, which are called Mandana, Parijata, Santana, Kalpavriksha and Harichandana, all of which fulfill various wishes.
Kalpavriksha, in particular, is said to be planted at Mt. Meru peak in the middle of Indra’s five paradise gardens.
It is on account of these wish-granting trees that the asuras waged a perpetual war with the devas as the heavenly gods who exclusively benefited freely from the “divine flowers and fruits”
