With all the impedimnts that Jairam Ramesh and Jayanti have put in the name of conservation and ecology, one should also thank the MEF for many good things that they have done. Like, to preserve Shaal trees, they have liberally allowed import of Malaysian teak which is very similar to sakhu or shaal (sorea robusta).Anand Kumar Bhatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02781586746323815593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8144756335473827193.post-48628357879785142672010-04-11T11:13:39.509-07:002010-04-11T11:13:39.509-07:00Daisy! these can be used anywhere without my permi...Daisy! these can be used anywhere without my permission.

This is all the more important in case a tree-felling is unavoidable. No sharp instrument may be used to cut the tulsi plant, whatsoever be the reason. My guru Gagangiri Baba pointed out many old trees, saying that they were yogis in meditation! He controlled 78000 hectares of prime forest land in the Sahyadris (Western Ghats), sanctuaries for tigers and wild bison. He tried his utmost to prevent human depradations in this region in the guise of 'tourism development'. And visiting his ashram was truly "party time" for troops of monkeys from the forests, who would feast on the choicest of fruit and coconuts offered to him by hundreds of daily devotees visiting the ashrams. No onlooker was permitted to shoo away either the monkeys or dogs in any of his ashrams and maths spread all over the State.<br /> <br />From the Edict of Shivaji:<br />“The Armada of our kingdom requires durable hardwood for their hulls decks and masts.<br />Teak and other appropriate trees of our forests may be felled for this purpose after applying to His Majesty and obtaining the royal permission. If, any more be required, they may be purchased from neighbouring kingdoms.<br /><br />The Mango and Jackfruit trees of our kingdom also provide suitable timber for naval purposes. But they should not be touched, for it is not as if these trees can be grown in a year or two. People plant them and bestow upon them long years of care, as they would on their own children.<br /><br />If such trees were to be felled, would not the people be inconsolable? An edifice built upon anyone’s sorrow soon collapses, taking down with it the architect too. In fact the ruler has to bear the guilt of tyranny. Also absence of such trees causes irreparable damage. Hence under no circumstances are such degradations to be allowed.<br /><br />Perchance, if a very old tree has ceased to bear fruits, then it may be taken with the consent of the owner after persuasion and payment of compensation. Coercion shall not, under any circumstances, be pardoned”. <br />- Courtesy WWF - INDIA, Newsletter- April 1997Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15291522460292612578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8144756335473827193.post-55753125251767964222009-09-02T20:58:49.486-07:002009-09-02T20:58:49.486-07:00wow you've made my day! great blog. thanks for...wow you've made my day! great blog. thanks for this valuable information. on anant chaturdashi 2009, this is special. reached here through google search, looking for chameli images to show the society gardener. gonna return to read more stuff! this is my kind of savvy.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15291522460292612578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8144756335473827193.post-41180891583411255762009-06-02T00:44:48.436-07:002009-06-02T00:44:48.436-07:00Wow!!!!
