Bodhi in Sanskrit translates to "enlightened" or "awakened," therefore the bodhi seed means "enlightened seed." Bodhi is also a term in Buddhism to reflect a Buddha's understanding of the true nature of things. These particular seeds come from the Banyan. The Banyan is a cousin to the Ficus Religiosa, the fig tree that Lord Buddha sat under when he receive his enlightenment. In the Bhagavad Gita Lord Krishna says that "of trees I am the Banyan tree". This tree has a rich spiritual background in Hinduism. Below shows the special place that is holds; "Leaf of Banyan tree as told, was to be resting place for Lord Krishna, who consumed universe during the time of destruction. He consumed whatever been created and turns himself to a child as small as he could fit into the tiny leaf of Banyan tree and keeps floating in space. Still, he himself decides to recreate everything back."
