Trees: Green Sanctuary
- ABC MEDIUM
- ABC LARGE
- ABC EXTRA LARGE
AMaha wata tree spread over several miles. However, it is unable to provide shade to passers-by. Because, a Brahma Rakshasa joined it. If a man is seen, he kills and eats them. The banyan tree has no mouth to tell you not to come near! So, the insect throws its fallen leaves in a row away from the wind. The insect-made kannas (insect-wounded script) are formed to warn passers-by, 'Don't come... here is a monster'. Gradually the area became deserted. This is the wonderful fiction done by Krishnadevaraya in 'Aamuktamallyada' explaining the benevolent mind of trees! Except for the first word of the poem 'Kanchen Vaishnavadu...', everything goes on in one long line, which evokes the imagination of the poet along with the vastness of the tree. The poets have expressed their service quality by saying 'Pachadanamunella fills the surroundings, cleans the air and makes the wind grow and blows with a thousand winjamaras'. In fact, trees are the dignity of the earth, and man is the weight! He concluded that 'he who plants the plant, even though he knows that the fruits will not reach his generation, realizes the meaning of life'. Valmiki Maharshi said about the preservation of plants in Ramrajya - 'Patranamapi Avranam... there are no injuries to the trees'. As a symbol of their importance, he depicted a tree as a symbol on the flag on Rama's chariot as a banner title. What can be more blessed - for any creature? That's why a tree is better than a man! Raw material for man - oxygen. Greenness is the lifeblood. Trees give life to both of them. If a branch is cut, they grow a plant as compensation. Kalidasa said in Shakunthalam that they bear the heat of summer and give cool shade to their dependents. Telling the truth that a man who can drive away old age with the help of a 'stick' will die with the help of 'firewood', Bulusukavi said, 'Let the tree co-exist with Naruni, and the tree co-exist with Naruni'. Actually they are not wood trees - Kalpa trees.
Knowing this secret Vishwanatha named his epic Ramayana as Kalpavriksha. 'These trees are all siblings Summi Sitakun' said Rama's mouth - because Earth is the mother of trees and Sitamma! Nannaya said that 'India is a great tree spread with branches of small stories... Amit Akhyanaka Sakhalam Bolichi'. Potana says that the branches of the Bhagavata Kalpataru are short and the stem is thin. Trees know the fulfillment of living life not for itself. Bhagavatam asked, 'Are these urvijams (trees) the eyes of all who are blessed by kusumachhaya falashri (flowers shade teeth)?' Research by the University of California has shown that people who take regular walks under large trees have a four percent lower risk of heart disease. This is the latest statement after examining 89,000 people suffering from heart disease. It's the essence of it that one should not be amazed by the skyscrapers but by the magnificent trees... Man should live in a green world. Rakshati Rakshitah in the tree!
