Love and Respect for Nature is inherent in our
culture and across the world ever since civilizations came into
existence. A tree is perhaps natures best gift to mankind. Worshipping trees and relating them to our lives is a unique
tradition of our value system. The worship of the tree links us with the
Natures spirit. A tree is a mother earth's creativity and
it has Shakti. A Tree restores balance by its positive force and though it doesn't
have a mind of its own it has the cosmic heart of the universe.
Since Durga Puja occurs during the Autumn harvest, the Goddesses is associated with plant fertility and is symbolic of growth. The Neem tree is the favourite of Goddesses Durga. Neem purifies the air we breath and is a source for healing. The other avatar of Goddesses, Ma Kali's favourite flower is the dramatically beautiful red Hibiscus.
The scene today looks gloomy with deforestation and the cutting of trees. Creating a respectful attitude towards nature is a must and one has to believe that our survival depends upon the survival of Nature. The attitude of protecting nature must come from our inner self.
As Buddha put it, a tree offers protection and shade even to the wood cutters who destroys it. Therefore, every tree is worthy of god-like reverence and worship. Lets save trees and teach the younger generation the importance of Nature.
