Bakula Tala- Ekachakra

It is said that formerly the tree had two trunks, but later on, when the playmates of Lord Nityananda felt inconvenience in jumping from the branches of one trunk to those of the other, Lord Nityananda by His mercy, merged the two trunks into one.This bakula tree is the offspring of the original tree that witnessed the -pastimes of Nitcandra over 500 years ago. The original tree was very wonderful because all of its branches resembled the hoods of a cobra. Shri Nityananda Prabhu used to climb the tree while playing with His friends. When He would enact Krishna's lila of subduing the snake Kaliya, He would use branches from this tree to simulate the pastime.
