Because the peepal tree is seen to have a realized soul, it listens and reacts to your need in the same way. On the day of Amavasya, or the new moon, it is customary to perform Hanuman Chalisa while worshiping the peepal tree at night. This is because during this time, when there are no lights in the world, the tree's soul is free to listen to prayers. The next morning when the moon comes out from behind the clouds, you can see that the tree has lost its leaves. This is because even though it is a sacred tree, it suffers too when humans do not use their minds before acting on their feelings. Even though the tree does not speak any language, it is still worshipped by people all over India. If you want, you can do the same with our help. Just write down or say a few words for forgiveness, remove obstacles, and gain knowledge about yourself and others. Then, place your notes under the tree when the moon is out. This ritual was originally done to seek the assistance of the tree's soul but today many people do it just to pray for certain things. Pine trees are also used for this purpose. However, the peepal tree's soul is more active at night so it will hear you better if you choose it as your deity.
