About Nakshtra / Zodiac / Rashi Plants
The concept of adoption of a plant is been derived from ancient Vedic culture. The Vedic astrology is based on the concept of Nakshatras (Constellations) and Rashis (as per moon signs). There are in all 27 Nakshatras and every individual has a Nakshatra assigned to him/her depending on the date and time on which he/she is born.
Every Nakshatra has a symbolic tree or plant that defines its connection with eternal nature. In ancient Vedic culture there was a tradition that whenever a baby is born in someone’s home, that person was supposed to plant a tree of the same Nakshatra on which the baby was born.
If these trees have been assigned to the 27 nakshatras by the Vedic Rishis, than it will be worthwhile for us to know which tree belongs to our Janma Nakshatra (Birth Constellation) and to have some idea about its medicinal values or other applications.
So the presence of the complete set of 27 trees directly creates a healthy and sound physical, mental, psychological and spiritual beings, which is the ultimate and absolute bliss to oneself and to the Earth too.
