Bilva / Beil /Bel Patra/Leaves – Fresh Green

Bel (Beil or Bilva) Patra is said to be the favorite leaf of Lord Shiva as well as Bhagavati Lakshmi. It is said that worshipping the Shivlinga by offering Bela Patra brings tremendous joy to Lord Shiva and therefore, He showers the devotee with blessings.

When benevolent Lord Shiva is pleased He fulfills the wishes of His devotees which is, a desirous Bel Patra benefit. Lord Shiva blesses with good health, wealth, prosperity, and spiritual growth. The Bilva Patra leaves are believed to be able to retain the vibration and blessings of Lord Shiva after it is offered to the Shivling and so, many devotees carry back home to let the blessings and positive energies reverberate at home, clearing negativity. The subtle yet strong Bilva leaf benefits devotees in the most positive manner, once it is offered to Lord Shiva.

As per Shiva Purana, Bel Patra leaves are one of the six compulsory things to worship Lord Shiva. The auspicious Bel Patra leaves are from the Bel tree, which is found widely in India. The primary Bilva Patra used in the worship of Shiva Lingam, especially in a trifoliate (3-Biva Patra leaves on a stalk) form, which symbolizes Trikaal or the Trinity of Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh and also the Trinetra which means the three eyes of Lord Shiva.

Once when Lord Brahma was asked about the easiest method to please Lord Shiva, He replied that for Lord Shiva, 100 lotus flowers are equal to 1 Neelkamal and 1000 Nilkamal are equal to 1 Bel Patra leaves. Thus, Bilva Patra is the easiest way to worship and please Lord Shiva.
