“Vrukshavalli Amha Soyari” organized by youths

Nature provides relaxation to humans and helps calm their minds, and thus, humans should reside in the presence of nature. We learn many things from nature, including its unnoticed contribution to our well-being. Trees provide us with life-giving oxygen and abundant rainfall, which nourishes us. However, there is only one species, humans, that causes harm to nature. Other creatures coexist and thrive in harmony with nature, but we have constructed factories, homes, and shops on the fertile land instead of cultivating fields or gardens. As a result, we have lost touch with nature, which affects not only us but also others who depend on it. Now It is crucial for us to restore this balance. It is not about refraining from building factories, homes, or shops, but about being aware of and connected to nature, which we have neglected for past few decades. Society has become highly detached from nature” addressed His Holiness, Padma Shri awardee Swami Brahmeshanand Acharya Swamiji , the Head of Shree Datta Padmanabh Peeth.
