Banyan


en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banyan
The biggest ficus trees growing in Miami and in other parts of Dade and Broward County Florida are Banyan trees, Ficus benghalensis. Native to India (and other parts of the world), where it is also the national tree, this ficus has deep roots, and lots of limbs as well as aerial roots which hang down from limbs.
The Great Banyan is a banyan tree (Ficus benghalensis) located in Acharya Jagadish Chandra Bose Indian Botanic Garden, Howrah, near Kolkata, India. The great banyan tree draws more visitors to the garden than its collection of exotic plants from five continents.

A Rigvedic hymn, in which reference is made to Sunahsepa, speaks of a banyan tree in the sky: “King Varuna holds up the crown of the (heavenly banyan) tree in infinite space; high up in the base of its (aerial roots) which hang down: may these beams of light be fixed on us!” Rigveda 1,24,7). The Vedic and Hindu texts repeatedly refer to a heavenly fig tree. This conception seems to be pictured on an Indus table, which depicts an an anthropomorphic deity inside a fig tree at bottom, the fig tree is flanked on either side by a star, which suggests a heavenly connection for the tree. (fig. 16.10) all principal varieties of fig trees are associated with kinship in the Aitareya-Brahmana; the mightiest of them, the banayan tree belongs to Varuna. . . . . Page 203
From Rigveda 1,24,7 it appears that the air roots of the heavenly banyan trees were conceived as beams of light that supply human beings with life energy. A parallel idea connected with the sun and its rays is found in the Puranic cosmology (brahmananda-Prurana) the sun is said to feed the other planets and stars with its thousand rays (rasmi). The seven principal rays nourish the moon, the calendrical stars, and the planet Mercury (budha), Venus (Sukra) Mars (lohita), Jupiter (brhaspathi), and Saturn (sanaiscara). The solar ray that brings nourishment in the moon is called ‘susuma-’, “very benevolent.” ~ Page 204
