<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The inspiration to sing God's names, and to seek refuge in this way, is a tradition that has emerged time and again in humanity, and has been emphasized time and again, to take refuge in the sacred names.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And with what attitude? With loving devotion, what else could it be? With loving and willing attention.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And this attitude is called <i>aradhana</i>. That is why this devotion is particularly attributed to its origin, and that is <i>Radha</i>, from whom <i>a<u>radha</u>na</i> comes. And in her we find the enthusiasm, for the devotion, for seeking refuge.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>Aradhana</i> gives us the strength to make humble calls for spiritual help. Because if you don't make humble calls, that means you feel you don't need it, that you are above it. But when you are stuck deep in the mud, and have lost your hope, then only these calls, these requests for mercy, are what can help you further.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666;">Our dear Sri Laddu Gopal has got new clothes again. Srimati Mataji got him two new dresses when she was in India recently. The dresses are very nice, but the night caps that came with them are the big sensation this time. One purple and one white.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666;">It's always difficult to get the right size of apparels when you don't have the person they're intended for with you, so it would be easy to draw the wrong conclusion here. Because no, the cap is not the wrong size. This is this year's high fashion among the fashionistas in the spiritual world. Big, big caps. The hippest of the hip in the highest abode of existence. Supreme Hipness. No particular colour as far as our intel goes. But purple is always right with dandies. Sri Suvasa ki jay!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>by Patita Pavana das</i></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Krishna consciousness is still quite young in the West. Only 50 years ago, Srila Prabhupada came and made it known around the world. That is just 2 generations, given a generation of 25 years. Therefore, there are still many misconceptions about the concept of Guru-Tattva and how it reveals itself in this world.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you first consult the Bhagavad Gita, you can see that the original Guru or spiritual master is Krishna Himself. In one verse it is said that remembrance, knowledge and forgetting come from Him. That means then, that everything anyone in this world could know has its origin in Him. He is Bhagavan and Bhagavan is described in the Tattva-Sandharba by Jiva Goswami as Lord of all energies. He works through his energies, and the original energy from which every other emerges is Srimati Radharani.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Guru-Tattva is a work of Radharani, through which She reveals Krishna. Only through the will of Guru-Tattva can we know Him, otherwise not. As Srila Sridhar Maharaj said, <i>"The finite cannot know the infinite, but the infinite would not be infinite if He could not make Himself understood by the finite."</i> And if that understanding is going on, this revelation, then this transaction takes place through Guru-Tattva.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<a name='more'></a><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Guru-Tattva has complete freedom. Therefore Guru-Tattva can take place in any form, reveal in any way. There are no restrictions. At the times when such transactions occur through a person thanks to the mercy of Guru-Tattva, that person functions as a spiritual master or guru. The discretion, when and how this takes place, lies solely with the Guru-Tattva. Wherever Guru-Tattva wants to manifest itself through a person, revelation takes place. The guru is therefore not in this position by himself, but by the empowerment of Radharani. The guru functions as a transparent medium through which Radharani reveals Krishna.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This revelation manifests itself in its recipients first as Shraddha, transcendental trust. Srila Sridhara Maharaj says, <i>"Faith is the halo of Radharani."</i> This wonderful touch of Radharani's radiance manifests as a desire to surrender to Krishna. In the beginning, this desire is still very weak and obscured by other interests. Through sadhana this desire can be strengthened and freed from our provincial interests. Sadhana is only possible in connection with Guru-Tattva, because through Guru-Tattva the path of spiritual progress is revealed to us. We are totally dependent on Guru-Tattva in our efforts along this path.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Srila Sridhara Maharaj, in his book "Sri Guru and His Grace," describes that in the person of Guru, there is the absolute aspect, the manifestation of Guru-Tattva, and the relative, human aspect. Both aspects, the manifestation of Radharani's mercy and love and the individual soul exist in parallel in one and the same place, the person guru. In order to get in contact with the absolute aspect, the Guru-Tattva, a certain inner attitude is required. The Bhagavad Gita says: <i>"One should turn to a spiritual master and ask him questions in a submissive attitude..."</i>. This submissive attitude is necessary because only in this attitude is our mind open to new things, ready to learn. If we approach the guru with a preconceived opinion and without the desire to be humbled by divine revelation, contact with Guru-Tattva will remain closed to us, as Krishna never restricts our free will. Only when we approach the guru with the corresponding desire for revelation can this nectar river of divine love flow to us. Srila Sridhara Maharaj says: <i>"To the extent that we seek Krishna in the guru, Krishna will reveal Himself to us through the guru."</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It is said that it is an offense to regard the guru as an ordinary person. It is a mistake that one only too easily commits as a conditioned soul when one focuses on the relative, human side of the guru. To err is human. Therefore, one will inevitably find imperfections in the human side of the guru. One may become confused and even come to the conclusion that the guru is not a guru. However, this is a great mistake that prevents us from approaching the absolute aspect of the guru. The harsh term of offense is used, but it is not inappropriate in this context. The touch of Radharani's effulgence is a causeless mercy, and mercy means you get something you do not deserve, a gift. And this supreme gift of the promise of and connection with the source of all love and the path to our real home is so great and is given to us out of pure love, that every form of rejection means harshness. Hence the term offense.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It is said in various contexts about the fall of a guru. The guru person is a guru because Guru-Tattva chose him as a means to contact us. One should not believe that the presence and temporary visibility of the guru's human side is a fall on his part. This is confirmed in the <a href="https://www.vedabase.com/en/bg/9/30" target="_blank">Bhagavad Gita 9.30</a>. The fall of a Guru can only be spoken of when Guru-Tattva withdraws from the person. Then the person becomes overpowered from the human side and the sincere souls can no longer get in connection with Guru-Tattva through him.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Wherever a transaction of Shraddha, devotional service and inspiration thereto takes place, Guru-Tattva acts. Therefore, Guru-Tattva manifests in so many different kinds of guru: Diksha-Guru, Shiksha-Guru, Vartma-Pradarsaka-Guru, etc. The guru teaches by example, and therefore the pure souls see a guru in each devotee, the presence of Guru-Tattva. This is the ultimate view; being able to perceive Krishna anywhere, anytime. If we try to gain this view, we will very quickly make spiritual progress.</div>

<span style="color: #666666;">British physicist, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roger_Penrose" target="_blank">Sir Roger Penrose</a>, agrees and believes he and his team have found evidence that protein-based microtubules – a structural component of human cells – carry quantum information – information stored at a sub-atomic level.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666;">Sir Roger states if a person temporarily dies, this quantum information is released from the microtubules and into the universe.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666;">However, if they are resuscitated the quantum information is channeled back into the microtubules and that is what sparks a near death experience.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666;">Sir Roger added: “If they’re not revived, and the patient dies, it’s possible that this quantum information can exist outside the body, perhaps indefinitely, as a soul.”</span></div>
</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666;">Researchers from the renowned Max Planck Institute for physics in Munich agree and state that the physical universe that we live in is only our perception and once our physical bodies die, there is an infinite beyond.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666;">Dr. Hans-Peter Dürr, former head of the Max Planck Institute for Physics, has said: “What we consider the here and now, this world, it is actually just the material level that is comprehensible. </span><span style="color: #666666; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit;">The beyond is an infinite reality that is much bigger. </span><span style="color: #666666; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit;">Which this world is rooted in. In this way, our lives in this plane of existence are encompassed, surrounded, by the afterworld already… The body dies but the spiritual quantum field continues. In this way, I am immortal.”</span></div>
</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666;">Dr Christian Hellwig of the Max Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry in Göttingen, added: “Our thoughts, our will, our consciousness and our feelings show properties that could be referred to as spiritual properties. No direct interaction with the known fundamental forces of natural science, such as gravitation, electromagnetic forces, etc. can be detected in the spiritual. </span><span style="color: #666666; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit;">On the other hand, however, these spiritual properties correspond exactly to the characteristics that distinguish the extremely puzzling and wondrous phenomena in the quantum world.”</span></div>

<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">
If your answer is "yes" you should be very grateful to South America, because those potatoes were first cultivated in Peru. By the grace of the Infinite Seed Giver, there are thousands of varieties of delicious potatoes.<br />
</div>
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">
<br />
<a name='more'></a></div>
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">
But they only become truly healthy and delicious after they have been offered to the Lord. </div>
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">
As a matter of fact, since potatoes are not a traditional Indian dish, in some temples like the Jagannath mandir, they are not included in the menu offered to Lord Jagannath. </div>
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">
This is a foolish misunderstanding. Although it’s not uncommon for the people that worship Lord Jagannath to have many foolish misunderstandings, such as that you have to be born in India in order to be allowed to have a darshan of Lord Jagannath, when there are so many native born Indians eating meat and whatnot, all well received as so called "Hindus" at the gate.</div>
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">
They say that only Hindus should come to the temple but they have no criteria to define who is really Hindu?</div>
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">
How do you define a Hindu?</div>
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">
I also don't want anybody in the temples that i open for the Lord to come in there harassing, stealing and creating trouble. </div>
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">
Everyone has a right to keep their religious place free from disturbances, mongering and robbery, but if you create an "only Hindus" rule, we better define who is a Hindu.</div>
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">
Can a rapist be a Hindu?</div>
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">
Or perhaps a thief?</div>
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">
How will you define who can enter your temple?</div>
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">
By their passport?</div>
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">
By their appearance? </div>
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">
By their police record?</div>
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">
Or by the Truth?</div>
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">
Therefore it’s not a surprise that they don't offer potatoes and many other vegetables from other parts of the world to Lord Jagannath.</div>
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">
They forget that the Lord (Nath) of the Universe (Jagad) is the Lord of Peru as well. He just chooses to give His potatoes to Peru. </div>
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">
And the following is the funniest and strangest part:</div>
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">
Everybody in Puri loves potatoes!</div>
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">
Look my friend, they love Jagannath Prasadam, but they still all eat potatoes, and that is not Jagannath Prasadam.</div>
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">
In other words, Lord Jagannath is deprived of potatoes and his supposed followers and fans all eat bhoga potatoes.</div>
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">
But the fact is, such a foolish and superficial understanding creates situations which are not logical whatsoever!</div>
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">
They show us the need to reevaluate what we do, what we decide and how we serve the Lord of the Universe and the Lord of our heart. </div>
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">
I invite you all, potato loving pandas of the Puri temple to reevaluate who is welcomed in the temple of Lord Jagannath. </div>
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">
And if you do love potatoes, you better also love all those that have cultivated potatoes around the world that love Lord Jagannath as well! </div>
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">
Thank you very much.</div>
<div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">

The sun was shining, the DJs were working, the sellers were selling, the shoppers were shopping, and the devotees were distributing the mercy of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu in the form of blessed dal and rice, some 80+ servings.

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Yews have held a fascination for me since a very young age. The very aura around this tree conjures the imagination and feelings of awe. Something of the infinite seems to reach out and touch you when standing under the boughs of a venerable and aged yew. It is this tree that sparked my lifelong love of trees.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> This tree species contains, within its members, some of the oldest living beings in the world. Some of the older yew trees are difficult to date and several individuals are thought to be over 2000 years old. There is one particular tree, the Fortingall tree, with it’s estimated age ranging between 3000 to 9500 years old! That puts it well within the lifetime of Jesus Christ. It is even possible this venerable tree was going strong when Lord Krishna’s lotus feet were treading the dust of this planet. Imagine that! </span></div>

The yew<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> is an evergreen tree with glossy, flattened and lancette needles, meaning it </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">accentuates and reflects light even in the middle of winter. The wood is extremely hard, close grained and very strong. The bark is reddish in colour and flakes off the trunk easily. </span></div>
</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">In the U.K the yew is one of the first trees to flower in the early spring. The flowers themselves are very small and unremarkable, but they produce huge quantities of yellow pollen which, if the conditions are right, can form luminous clouds on sunny days. The male flowers produce the pollen and the female catkins, once pollinated, become the fruit.</span></div>
</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> The bright red berries of the yew are eaten greedily by birds. All parts of these trees are poisonous, remarkably the berries are edible. Although, as children we were always advised to stay away from them as the seeds are toxic. The tangible aura of the tree made a strong impression on me in childhood. Kids from my street would make our way to and from school through the local churchyard. Two grand old yews, one male one female, sheltered the old slab path. We would run and play around the trunks, mesmerized by the twisted mass of roots nestled above the eroded soil.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Yew trees were planted in pre-christian times to mark and guard sacred sites. The trees themselves were considered sacred and most likely worshipped, although this has always been contested by the academic intelligentsia. You only have to spend time with an ancient yew and cultivate a heart to heart connection to it, for it to reveal its ancient past to you.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> After the Christianisation of Britain, the people built their churches on and around these already sacred mounds and groves. From that time onward, the Yew tree became synonymous with life and death, graveyards and churches. Henceforth, the Yew has always been associated with death and the eternal nature of the soul. The Yew is a natural doorway into understanding these mysteries. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> The personality of this tree is very ancient. It talks of the oldest knowledge and remembers the vedic past. Druids, who were somewhat similar to the Brahmins of India, worshipped in groves of yew and oak. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> Yew is a contender for being Yggdrasil, the world tree from Nordic mythology. New research has emerged that Yew, rather than Ash, may have been the sacred world tree worshipped at the the Temple of Uppsala, a pre christian sacred place in Sweden.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "open sans" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><i>"The branches of this tree extend downward and upward, nourished by the three modes of material nature. The twigs are the objects of the senses. This tree also has roots going down, and these are bound to the fruitive actions of human society." (Bhagavad Gita, 15:2)</i></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> This tree reminds me of a Banyan tree and exhibits some similar characteristics and qualities, for example; the tree can propagate itself and can grow continuously. Its long branches, if left unmolested, will droop to the floor where they can take root and become new trees. Similarly, it sends up new shoots from its root systems, sometimes tens of meters from the original tree, which in turn also become new trees. Just like the banyan, the heartwood of older trees rots away while the living bark wood continues to grow outwards, meaning the trees often become hollow. All these factors make the tree difficult to age, but also makes it unique looking and long lived. There have even been documented cases of these trees getting so large that people have lived inside them!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> The fact that this tree is evergreen and looks so ancient, it makes a very strong impression on the senses. This is especially true in a temperate climate when all else is lifeless and grey in winter seasons. Yew is teaching the impermanence of life and the undying and eternal nature of the soul. The yew teaches that even after death life returns. Yew speaks of transmigration of the soul, exhibited by the fact that Yew can continuously grow even past its seeming death. Even the oldest of of trees send new and living shoots from its body long after the heart wood has died and rotted away.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> Yew speaks in an ancient language. The language of elements, the language of creation, the language of the cosmic dance. Yew invites us to step into the mystery of being. To reclaim our place as spiritual beings in relationship to the supreme reality. Yew is a doorway back.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 16px;"><i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> "The real form of this tree cannot be perceived in this world. No one can understand where it ends, where it begins, or where its foundation is. But with determination one must cut down this tree with the weapon of detachment. So doing, one must seek that place from which, having once gone, one never returns, and there surrender to that Supreme Personality of Godhead from whom everything has begun and in whom everything is abiding since time immemorial."

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">So what do these verses mean? They can help us contemplate and understand deeper spiritual topics. It is a message of going beyond our mundane material life. To see under the veneer of our lives. If we can hear Yews message we are on the way towards that eternal realm. We just need to spend time with the tree and listen with an open heart.</span></div>
