denur

We had a sumptuos prasaadam under this Haritaki tree just in the backyard of Srila Vrindavan das Thakur at Denur. This tree was planted by Lord Nitaichand. What happened is - Vrindavan das wanted to accompany the Lord on His journey. Nitaichand asked him for a Haritaki after prasadam, since it helps to digest. Not having one at home, Vrindavan das went searching and brought it after a long time Next day, the Lord again asked for the same. The devotee produced it in the blink of an eye. "How did you manage so quickly today?" asked the Lord. "Simple", replied Vrindavan das - "I knew You may ask for it today, so yesterday I bought more than one and preserved it." Lord Nityananda retorted - "This indicates you have the tendency to accumulate - a perfect sign of a householder. Better you marry and settle down." Saying this He planted the Haritaki in the backyard, which blossomed into a tree. We even bathed in a pond near this tree.
