A Healing Tree planted on Glastonbury Tor -
In the heat of the summer in 1997, Glastonbury had a visit from Shantimayi. Shantimayi was an American who became the successor to the Shri Sacha Dham Ashram in Rishikesh, India. She carried the transformational energy of this eminent line of Sacha Master’s that is said to date as far back as our present universal cycle.
Shantimayi was invited to Glastonbury by the Isle of Avalon Foundation to be part of its ‘Interfaith Bridging Initiative’. She brought with her a pair of Shiva Lingams; these are egg quartz crystals containing a hundred thousand prayers from different faiths, including those of His Holiness the Dalai Lama. This pair of crystals was a gift to Glastonbury in recognition of its sacred landscape and transformative energies, It was given to support healing within the town, the community, and the visiting pilgrims.
With the support of the National Trust, a small oak sapling was planted on the slope of the Tor. This oak sapling, a descendant of a local tree, was planted with ceremony and for the next 48hours the ancient Gayatri Mantra was chanted by Shantimayi and her devotees in various locations around the town.
