The Peepal Tree Revolution
15 /05 /08
It is a new fight of Indian society against the planned environment pollution. Yes, the names are not familiar to the media even at local level, but this silent revolution is going to make history is shure to everybody who is part of it. It is avery strange story of two ordinary natives of Bhiwani ( a district of Haryana ) . Ashok Kumar and Ram Niwas Jindal the two “Satsangi” of ‘Bapu AshaRam’ and very kind hearted by nature have started thinking over the misurable condition of Indian society. According to Ashok “ Earlier it was in our practice to entertain guests without cosidering who’s relative is he ” But now we feel hectic to accommodate our own relatives. Along with this number of other things came to their mind. Soon they realised the importence of pure air. It was the time when they started their obsrvation and deep study about the environment arround. At first it was not so fruitfull, as they failed to go deep into the metter. This was their first experience and a new one but now they start feeling that something their own is absent from the life. Soon the day came when they got the conclusion and indication of their futur karmkshetra ‘the bettle field or area of work’. Their hardwork paied fruit to both of them and they found that most of the local desi Indian plants have lost their place in local life. It is now quite tough for localites to differentiate between NEEM and ALANTHES, the forgien Neem imported by government. Like this number of other basic plants have nearly vanished from our own land. This realisation filled both of them with sense of responsibility towards society. Soon they started their new venture of plantation,. The first question aroused in their mind was “which plant should get priority as the most important in the list”. This was a tougher and the crucial step, as it will affect the whole movement. But soon this confusion sorted out, they found THE PEEPAL TREE as the only tree in this world which produces oxygen throughout the day and night. Peepal tree is the most valuable both religiously and scientifically. They start plantation of peepal trees and on the way to Bapu Asha Ram they planted 150 trees and the thing to observe is that all the farmers have apriciated their afforts and have allowed them to plant on their land. Results were positive, but it was not enoughfor them they were looking for something on higher scale. Lord Has accepted their prayer and one day met Manoj Khare, warden youth hostel Bhiwani, who asked both of them to work on large scale by approaching people of real India i.e. Villagers. Soon they came in contact with a youth from village Jamalpur, named Vijay Sharma
, son of a doctor . Their first meeting brought results unexpectedly and he invited village meeting at his native village Jamalpur (distt. Bhiwani) on 11th May. It was really nice see afforts of somone getting right direction, alongwith they organised meeting in another nearby village Bohal. The response was over whelming and people of villages came forward to protect the environment. About 60 plants have been distibuted on that day. It is just beginning of the revolution called THE PEEPAL TREE revolution
