Questions and answers

If Saturn is debilitated, can a shami plant be grown?

No; why invite spirits? One person planted two shami trees in the West of his home believing it would help, faced three to four months of trouble and returned them to the gardener. Shami should not be grown at home.

Who said that spirits live in the shami tree?

Varahamihira wrote it in his work on trees; no one other than Varahamihira has contributed this knowledge of trees.
