30th April:- Heartfulness
Institute (www.heartfulness.org),
located at Kanha Shantivanam,
Hyderabad, announced that it has successfully completed a milestone of
translocating over 1,000 trees in just over a year, with the replantation of the
latest batch of 120 trees– coconut trees aged around 15 years from Karur
District, Tamil Nadu. Sixty trees in the recent batch arrived Kanha Shanti
Vanam on Saturday and the Heartfulness team successfully replanted
them within the Shri Ram
Chandra Mission premises in Kanha Shanti vanam,
Hyderabad. With this, the Heartfulness Institute achieves the rare distinction of having
undertaken such a massive initiative of not just relocating but also nurturing
the trees. Every year of the tree’s existence brings incremental benefits, by
extending the longevity of the trees, and Heartfulness Institute preserves these benefits for the
planet.
Commenting on the achievement, Kamlesh Patel, also known as Daaji,
the fourth Global Guide of
Heartfulness said that trees are the single most important assets
on this planet. Their role and usefulness are beyond measure and most often our
understanding. Apart from preservation of the planet itself in the physical
sense, trees also exude spiritual qualities that help preserve and retain
divinity and create the required balance on a different level. It is therefore
important that the number of trees is increase and more importantly existing
trees are protected from being destroyed. One tree saved is equivalent to hundreds
of them being planted.
Relocation
and replanting of mature trees is a very complex, technical and often costly
process. Trees are mostly displaced because of development and need to be very
delicately handled to ensure their survival. The soil around the tree for a 4
to 5 feet diameter width and depth is first dug, then the roots are delicately
cut, and the tree is loaded for transportation along with a huge quantity of
soil.
