In Hinduism, it is customary to worship the gods and goddesses by carrying flowers. But there is such a flower which is worshiped like a god after it grows. That flower is Brahmakamal. To Brahmakamala In Hinduism It is a very sacred place. According to mythology, Lord Brahma appeared on a lotus growing from Lord Vishnu’s navel during the creation of creation. It is considered to be the lotus i.e. the Brahma lotus. Therefore, this flower is considered as a symbol of the beginning of creation.
It has a special importance in Shiva worship and is believed to be a sacred flower that grew out of Lord Shiva’s penance. The Brahma lotus blossoms at night, so its blossoming is considered auspicious and wish-fulfilling. It is believed that when this rare flower blooms in the house, God’s grace and positive energy increases. But recognizing Brahmakamal is equally important.
It is said that by growing a lotus in the house or offering a lotus for worship, one’s wishes are fulfilled. However, information has been given on the Instagram account ‘Nisargamitra Farm’ about how to recognize whether the flower in your home is a lotus flower or a different flower that looks like a lotus flower. If it has long leaves and eight to ten white flowers at a time, it is not a brahmamal. People in the city have a big misconception about Brahmakamal. That is, the tree we have has eight to 10 lotuses but it is not a lotus but a Mexican cactus.
Its leaves sprout roots and after rooting again in the soil, a new plant emerges. Its white flowers look like brahma but it is not brahma. In city markets, the flower of this mexican cactus is sold as brahmamal and is misleading. There are different species of this plant that blooms at night. Cacti with white and red flowers are found in India. Its twin brother is Dragon Fruit.
It comes above 10 thousand feet of Himalayas. As the nutrient climate it requires is in the mountainous regions of the Himalayas, this flower grows most healthily in the climates of Himachal Pradesh or Uttarakhand. True brahmamal is a white flower that looks like a cabbage. When the brahmamal blooms, it is very fragrant. The seed inside this flower is extracted and its prasad is given to Kedarnath.
Common lotuses don’t usually grow in tropical climates, so check to see if the white flowering plant in your home is a lotus plant or a Mexican cactus. In fact, the white flowers of the Mexican cactus also make your balcony beautiful, so even if it is not a lotus, it can definitely be useful for balcony decoration.
