Meditation Tree
Puttaparthi, Anathapur District Phone: Not AvailableAbout
The meditation tree is a banyan tree planted by Bhagawan on 29th June 1959, under which He has installed a 'Yantra', a copper plate with mystic markings on it. This 'Yantra', measuring about 15 inches X 10 inches, was materialized out of the sands of river Chitravathi by Bhagawan sometime in April 1959 when He had gone to the banks of the river along with some devotees, as He often would during those days. Bhagawan has said that such plates, known as 'Yantras', are an aid to meditation as they help develop concentration of the mind and control of the senses. He has also declared the tree will attract Yogis (spiritual adepts) who have reached a certain level of attainment in their spiritual pursuits.It is located about halfway up the road leading from the Sri Sathya Sai General Hospital to the Administrative Block of the Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Learning.
