Green Ramleela celebrations in Fazilka
Graduate Welfare Association Fazilka (GWAF)
and Balaji Northern Railway Ramleela Samiti Fazilka celebrated Ramleela
function in a novel way on Friday night in Nai Abadi locality here. They
celebrated Ramleela as Green Ramleela as more than 250 saplings of different
varieties were distributed amongst the audience free of cost to spread the
message given in the Ramleela at large during the function.
It was a scene when Hanuman uprooted and
brought the mountain containing Sanjivani herb to save the life of unconscious
Lakshman. As Hanuman reached the stage with the mountain having different
saplings on it, the audience welcomed him with applause. The organisers
distributed more than 250 saplings of Neem, Arjun, Sukhchain, Alestonia,
Gulmohar, Kachnar and others varieties displayed from the mountain.
"The idea is to give practical shape to
all teachings and baseline values given in the Ramayana as our duty towards the
environment during the Sanjivani herbs episode,” said Lakshman Dost the
Director of the Ramleela Samiit. “The modern era needs this kind of ‘sanjivani’
to alert the unconscious civil society towards their moral duties for
environment,” he added.
“Each tree is sanjivani for the society and
this is the most scientific way to protect our environment through faith and
religion,” said Dr Bhupinder Singh, who initiated the campaign to alert
citizens of Fazilka about global warming through the teachings of Guru Granth
Sahib last year like “Pawan Guru pani, pita mata dharat mahatu.”
