Of late my garden has gone to the weeds, courtesy, the lazy me. But then, my garden has natural plants, developed by nature herself, which unlike the puny artificially developed advanced technology plants, don’t have much of a problem growing amongst weeds.
Today evening I went home and opened my bedroom window to let in some fresh air. Along with the fresh air came this wonderful fragrance that instantly filled my mind and I was elevated to a different level altogether. The source of this eternal fragrance, an eternal flower, said to have been brought down to earth from the heaven by Krishna for his wife Subhadra. The tale also says that the plant leant into the neighbor’s compound and all the flowers would fall into the neighbor’s compound, (where none other than the lovely Radha lived). My tree was also kind of like that a few years back but then thankfully now it has corrected itself and the blooms are on our side of the compound.
As I sit now at my comp, in my room, with the lovely smell pervading my room, I remember the day I walked into a classmate’s room 6 years back, a room filled with this all pervading divine essence of “Parijatha Pushpa”. The next day I got a small plant for my garden in hopes of my room becoming heaven. Now it is. Mother Nature has been kind to me. This is my thanks to her.
