Watering
Pipal/Banayan tree.
It may sound
a little strange for many as Pipal tree hardly requires watering.But people of
our country since long time have carry
on the practices of giving water to banyan/Pipal tree after taking bath to earn punya.
But actually
our forefathers had adopted these practices to check soil erosion, provide
shade to fellow traveler and rest place for many birds and insects and
providing oxygen to people of that area.
It is common
to find water leaking from PHD pipe water supply in many places of a town to go
waste. However much to my surprise i found this man collecting water from the
leaked source and pouring it in the root
of pepal tree.
For a moment
I could not believe it and when I saw it again I simply admired the person's
effort to give water to Pipal tree and he was offering water to Pipal tree
-without putting his shoes as a mark of respect
The day I don’t
not get water from pipe(leaked), I brought it from a tube-well- andgave to tree
says Deba patel . I admired the spirit of
Deba’s offering-water- which I think is due to the teachings of our
forefathers to take care of trees like
Banayan and Pipal----Will other people listen to this?
