Today's Festivals & Observances
Ashwattha Maruti Poojan
It is customary to worship the Ashwattha (Peepal) tree every Saturday during the month of Shravan. Worshipping the Peepal tree is considered equivalent to worshipping Lord Vishnu himself, and it is believed to ward off all kinds of afflictions and troubles.
Worship Ritual
Milk infused with a Bel leaf should be offered at the base of the Peepal tree. A mustard oil lamp should be lit beneath the tree, followed by three circumambulations (pradakshina) around it. A few leaves should be plucked, cleaned with Ganga water, and placed at the household worship altar, where they should be duly worshipped with incense and other offerings. While meditating on one's chosen deity, prayers should be offered for the fulfillment of one's wishes.
Significance
Scriptures state that circumambulating the Peepal tree three times daily at an auspicious time (Mangal Muhurat) and offering water destroys poverty, sorrow, and misfortune. Beholding and worshipping the Peepal tree is believed to bestow longevity, health, and prosperity. Many young women devoutly observe this Ashwattha vrat with the wish for an unbroken, blessed married life.
Legend
Once, Lord Vishnu decided to test the devotion of his devotee, a Brahmin named Dhananjaya, and made him fall into poverty. Even his relatives abandoned him. To protect himself from the cold, he would gather dry firewood. One day, while cutting wood, he accidentally broke off a branch of a Peepal tree — and at that very instant, Lord Vishnu appeared before him. The Lord revealed that the blows of the axe had actually wounded him, since the Peepal tree was his own form. Overcome with remorse, Dhananjaya resolved to atone by striking his own neck with the same axe. Moved by this profound devotion, Lord Vishnu was pleased and instructed him to worship the Ashwattha tree daily. Dhananjaya then began worshipping the Peepal tree with unwavering devotion every day, and in time, by the grace of Kubera, his poverty was dispelled and he was blessed with immense wealth.
In the Bhagavad Gita, Lord Krishna himself declares, "Ashwatthah sarvavrikshanam" — meaning, "Among trees, I am the Peepal" — affirming that the tree is a direct manifestation of the divine. This is why, not only during Shravan but on every Saturday throughout the year, it remains customary to worship the Peepal tree and circumambulate it before sunrise.
