Vata Vruksham
The banyan tree was planted by the Divine Hands of Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba on 29 June 1959. On that day, He also placed under the tree a 'Yantra', a thick copper plate measuring 15" x 10" containing mystical markings that the scriptures consider to be of great spiritual power, stimulating spiritual impulses and aiding concentration.
The 'Yantra' materialized by Him on the sands of river Chitravathi on the day of Vaishak Purnima in 1959, when a devotee asked him about the tree in Boddh Gaya, on which Lord Buddha was sitting, under illumination. Bhagawan said that a similar Yantra was placed under the Boddh Gaya tree also.
Bhagawan said about this Tree _ "Yogis wherever they are, once they reach a certain stage of Sadhana, they will know this tree and this Yantra and will be drawn by a Mysterious Force towards it ...... "!
That is why one of the 108 names by which Bhagawan is exalted is:
"Om Sri Sai Saadhakaanugraha Vata Vruksha Prathishttaapakaaya Namaha:"
Om Sri Sai Ram
