General definition (in Hinduism)
: Bodhayanti Parasparam: The Goal of Life and the MeansVatapatra refers to the 鈥渓eaf of a Banyan tree鈥�.鈥擺Cf. Vatapatra-sayi] [...] If we start changing our attitudes and not only pray for ourselves but pray for all the people in this world, we grow out of this limitation and our banyan tree grows bigger. It is still a tree, it is bound to have its existence but our Banyan Tree is much bigger. That is the reason why we say God is a 鈥�vatapatra-sayi鈥�. The importance of the concept of a vatapatra or a vatavriksha is, we want to spread like that. Our concern is not only for our shade but the shade for all and try to provide some shelter to others.
