NAKSHATRA VANAM CELEBRATION -- WORLD EARTH DAY -- 22nd April 2023

 NAKSHATRA VANAM Celebration  - World Earth Day - 22nd April 2023 

Brought to you by 5 Trusts across TN jointly.


WHAT IS THE SANCTITY BEHIND IT?

Growing trees as per one’s astrological birth star and the Padhams involved is very

auspicious and all the more so, when it commences on World Earth Day 2023

when the planetary transition occurs. It will bring good luck and fortune not only to

the individual but to the entire villages, cities or towns, where minerals, plants and

animal kingdoms also enjoy their presence on Mother Earth.

No matter which religion or caste we belong to, male or female, young or old, we are

all, as human beings, universally governed by the 27 planets and each planet has 4

Padhams, which accrues to the magical figure of 108. They form the Nakshatra

Vana (or a forest of Birth Star Trees).

WHY SHOULD WE OPT FOR IT?

‘Varam Tharum Vanam Nakshatra Vanam’ – 1,00,008 Nakshtra trees plantation

drive is undertaken by us so that each individual or his family can plant a sapling

according to the planets governed at the time of their birth. Nakshatra Trees and

Man have an established linkage and generations to follow will realise the impact of

such a revival - a long forgotten move that was followed by our ancestors. In the

name of social development, we have forgotten our rich culture, sacred tradition and

healthy values of preserving the sanctity of Birth trees that are part and parcel of

humanity on Earth. Re-establishing a connection with Birth trees can prevent

disasters.

By growing such Birth Star tree saplings, one’s life can be handled better as these

sacred trees, by virtue of being silent and mute spectators of dharma on earth bring

good fortune to you and the entire earth @Nakshatra Vanam Trees. They are

harbingers of good luck and fortune and a saving grace to societal needs by ringing

in peace and prosperity befitting the age-old practices that existed generations ago.

That apart, by growing such Birth trees, the advantages are (a) the right alignment to

one’s body’s chakras for protection and growth of the individual (b) energy

requirement for the individual to sustain in life (c) oxygen supply for the individual for

that particular birth star on a continued basis (d) Season’s trending to usher in the

monsoons on time year after year, which is extremely important to sustain life.

Nurture Mother Earth with love and utmost care, for only then She, in return, will

bless you abundantly with boons for longevity, good health, wealth, happiness and

prosperity for you and your family.

Most of the Nakshatra Vana are good trees and are known for its oxygen producing

ability and purify air as well...all belong to medicinal plants category.

Birth star tree or Nakshatra plants, will bring good protection and health benefits not

only to you but to entire environment that covers the villages, birds, animals and

assist in reducing global warming and bring significant climate changes to our

Mother Earth for the benefit of our next generations to follow. Reducing Carbon

footprints is the need of the hour as humanity ‘s survival and sustenance comes

foremost.

WHERE WILL THE PLANTING OF SAPLINGS BE DONE BY YOU WITH OUR

SUPPORT?

We will embark on getting permissions at public spaces for planting the saplings across Tamil Nadu.

The first place  in Chennai will be at Kulandai Angala Parameswari Amman temple at Besant

Your Organ’s body clock... change your lifestyle accordingly

Your Organ’s body clock ... change your lifestyle accordingly for healthy living Most people are unaware that the first thing that they need to do on getting up is to drink hot water. The Mahatma or Father of the Nation sipped a large marble tumbler of hot water daily , it used to be so hot that he used to hold it with a napkin between his fingers   says my dad, who I guess imbibed   the habit   as his Personal Secretary and at  96   is  fit as on date. Not surprisingly, I too took to it as a fish takes to water.   Hence I can vouch for the same. The worst time to drink coffee is early in the morning as it contains caffeine. Old habits die hard but the fact is   Caffeine is a diuretic and takes water away from your colon to your kidneys and bladder for evacuation. Your  body  needs plenty of water in the morning to do its repair and maintenance of the large intestine and colon.  Comfortably sit and sip as much a...

Similarly, before going to bed at 9 P.M., he always prayed.  So he described prayer as “The key of the morning and bolt of the evening”. Immediately after his prayers he would ha...

Living on the edge -- bypassing long-term health issues, insensitive to environment

  Living on the edge:  bypassing long-term health issues, insensitive to environment Whilst every day is a new one, life goes on each to his or her mundane routine.   Do we ever contemplate on:   what fabric is good for me and what is bad?   Seriously, I think colors, texture and design should no longer be the only criteria for an impulsive buy. You and your family need to be aware of that in the first place rather than checking on what is trending.   With online shopping and best buys for the season, it’s time to seriously look into the FABRIC aspect that makes a potent cocktail when you hit town. Many a times we are confronted with unhealthy choices of fabrics that resemble the Siamese twins. We love the design, get into raptures , unaware of the material’s hazards, due to lack of knowledge or sheer ignorance. When was the last time you checked on an aspect that your skin should be the criteria for a buy? Today the women’s market of apparels is flo...

English is alive … keeps ticking!

Image
ENGLISH IS ALIVE ... KEEPS TICKING! E nglish certainly is a queer language as any you see, with all its plurals as different as can get to be for no reason or rhyme. Consider for example:  the plural of ox is oxen but the plural of fox is not foxen but foxes.  But then that is English, call it the British or American version. Although it’s a borrowed language, it finds its way being alive and ticking when it comes to the Corporate world, just in the same fashion as their US$ rules the roost as a form of exchange. Those who are in the fifties age bracket are now confounded with so many words that our past generation didn’t have, but they are words that are only too familiar with the teenage college-goers. So consider a family where there are three generations in the age group of 88+, 55+ and 20+. A conversation typically is: “Hey, I wanted to touch base with you.  Our company has rolled out some good plans.  You can download them and check it out. L...

A red-letter day for all Industrial drone segments in Bharat

A red-letter day for all Industrial drone segments in Bharat   The PM of India Shri. Narendra Modi ji inaugurated the Bharat Drone Mahotsav at Pragati Maidan, New Delhi today amidst a packed  audience.  He congratulated all those involved in the drone segments across India and said he wasn’t late for the inauguration today  --  that he came on time but was so absorbed in listening to what the drone sector was geared for, assimilating what they had to deliver, and listening to the many participants at the stalls that he didn’t realize time was ticking away and that he was late for the inauguration. He confessed he certainly would have liked to know more as the information provided to him was spell-bounding on the subject , making him thrilled at the prospects of what lay in store for Bharat. Policy making with technology, better governance and a lot more were capable of being handled by drone technology and when he visited the stalls, he was proud and co...

Secret behind living 120 yrs on Mother Earth with ease (PART - 2)

Your innings on earth: 120 glorious years with ease!  This is relatively very simple to follow. First of all, determine what Nakshatra you come under. I have listed out all the nakshatras below for your ready reference. Then arrive at what Raasi you belong to as per your birth chart.   Nakshatra is different from Raasi for those of you who are not familiar with Astrology.  Raasi is the house or planetary position when you are born, while Nakshatra is the ruling star of the day on which you are born. There are a total of 27 Stars (also known as  Nakshatras) and each of us would fall under one particular star, depending on which star ruled on the day  we were born. Incidentally I may mention that the English version of signs as Aries, Saggitarius, Libra, Leo, etc.,  are not the same as this 12 Rasis as a Saggitarian may have birthday  appearing in December but could fall under a Rasi of Thula and not Meena  as given in serial order ...

English is alive … Keeps ticking (PART # 2)

Image
English has gone a long way … such a long way that I fear keeping track of it may be tougher than I expect to.  The language has undergone a sea change so much so that one would need to have the latest dictionary to keep track.  Sounds crazy, but well we have no other option. I shudder to think of the plight of my Webster’s and Oxford which hold a place of pride at home. They remain as  old editions of by gone era.  The next gen can now relate to them as antique collection of books. They no longer contain words that are important  and tech savvy to me for daily parlance and have become extinct, just like many other things that have gone extinct in our day to day lives.  For instance, I cannot imagine my would-be daughter in law sitting on the grinding stone of those days like we used to, every alternate day for making fluffy idlis/ Dosa.  I distinctly remember my sister and I used to sit on the  " Kalloral "  or grinding stone which...

Clay is Joy, lets you ENJOY

  Clay is Joy, lets you ENJOY Merely watching a clay session churning out pieces of art is sheer joy and lets you enjoy – be it wet clay or leather hard when chiseling out finer aspects.   Experiential and experimental learning   Of all the fine arts prevalent, one that has caught on fast and favorably to all, especially the IT, Medical , Banking sector and children’s segment alike  is Pottery during Corona crisis. The art has many found takers,  thanks to the necessity and need to destress.  It has, of late, been recognized as one that is a perfect tactile, with all the messiness and clumsiness that goes into the making of an art with damp clay and the cool temperature that gets warmer by virtue of  mashing it. The thrill and kick of hand-building is to be experienced and seen to be believed. No denying it is a mindful gesture to put down your tablets, phones and computers aside , forget everything around you and delve into nuances of pottery...

Secret behind living 120 yrs on Mother Earth with ease

Your innings on earth: 120 glorious years with ease !   The human being is intricately designed so as to live for a ripe 120 years. That is the normal life-span created for him by the Creator.  The Almighty was generous to provide all that is outstanding and nice to the human species for such a glorious lifespan :   the Sun and Moon ,  five Pancha Bhootas, Ida-Pingala-Sookshma nadis for heat /cold balance to match the Spine.  The body in turn got segregated as Vata, Pitta and Kapha bodies of subtle variations for each. Human beings were sent to earth with a generous dose of all they could long for in Mother Earth to make life a pleasure to survive. They were blessed with the acupressure points in their own  body to heal themselves. They were blessed with Reiki, Pranic healing, Color therapy, Magnet therapy, Ayurveda, Yoga, Homoeopathy, Siddha, Varma, Angel therapy and so many abounding therapies. In short a  truly blessed holistic route...

Costly lessons imparted by #Sridevi for free. Care to listen ‘n’ learn?

Costly lessons imparted by #Sridevi for free.   Care to listen ‘n’ learn? Beauty personified at the cost of one’s life seems a bit dicey and difficult to digest.   Actress Sridevi had a natural charm about her that one can attribute as a plus factor. It was a gift from God.   She probably earned it on account of her past Karma.   All she needed to have was a sense of maturity to realize that one has to age gracefully and not overdo it. Stress can take a toll on life is the lesson we can all learn from her untimely death.   Certainly 54 years is not an age to die but one to relax and enjoy the delicious fruits of labor. She rose to the limelight with her acting prowess and she could have still retained her slot in the field as a star of yesteryears for a lifetime, and forever more, with no one to snatch it from her, no matter what her weight or wrinkles were.   But then Madame Death snatched it from her on account of her callous attitude towards her ...
