Nakshatra Vanam

Nakshatra Vanam

Celebration commencing on World Earth Day 2023 Brought to you by 5 Trusts jointly.
WHAT IS THE SANCTITY BEHIND IT?
Growing trees as per one’s astrological birth star and the Padhams involved is very auspicious and all the more so, when it commences on World Earth Day 2023 when the planetary transition occurs. It will bring good luck and fortune not only to the individual but to the entire villages, cities or towns, where minerals, plants and animal kingdoms also enjoy their presence on Mother Earth. No matter which religion or caste we belong to, male or female, young or old, we are all, as human beings, universally governed by the 27 planets and each planet has 4 Padhams, which accrues to the magical figure of 108. They form the Nakshatra Vana (or a forest of Birth Star Trees).
WHY SHOULD WE OPT FOR IT?

‘Varam Tharum Vanam Nakshatra Vanam’ – 1,00,008 Nakshtra trees plantation drive is undertaken by us so that each individual or his family can plant a sapling according to the planets governed at the time of their birth. Nakshatra Trees and Man have an established linkage and generations to follow will realise the impact of such a revival – a long forgotten move that was followed by our ancestors. In the name of social development, we have forgotten our rich culture, sacred tradition and healthy values of preserving the sanctity of Birth trees that are part and parcel of humanity on Earth. Re-establishing a connection with Birth trees can prevent disasters.

By growing such Birth Star tree saplings, one’s life can be handled better as these sacred trees, by virtue of being silent and mute spectators of dharma on earth bring good fortune to you and the entire earth @Nakshatra Vanam Trees. They are harbingers of good luck and fortune and a saving grace to societal needs by ringing in peace and prosperity befitting the age-old practices that existed generations ago. That apart, by growing such Birth trees, the advantages are (a) the right alignment to one’s body’s chakras for protection and growth of the individual (b) energy requirement for the individual to sustain in life (c) oxygen supply for the individual for that particular birth star on a continued basis (d) Season’s trending to usher in the monsoons on time year after year, which is extremely important to sustain life. Nurture Mother Earth with love and utmost care, for only then She, in return, will bless you abundantly with boons for longevity, good health, wealth, happiness and prosperity for you and your family.

Most of the Nakshatra Vana are good trees and are known for its oxygen producing ability and purify air as well…all belong to medicinal plants category.

Birth star tree or Nakshatra plants, will bring good protection and health benefits not only to you but to entire environment that covers the villages, birds, animals and assist in reducing global warming and bring significant climate changes to our Mother Earth for the benefit of our next generations to follow. Reducing Carbon footprints is the need of the hour as humanity ‘s survival and sustenance comes foremost.

WHERE WILL THE PLANTING OF SAPLINGS BE DONE BY YOU WITH OUR SUPPORT?
We will embark on getting permissions at public spaces for planting the saplings. The first place will be at Kulandai Angala Parameswari Amman temple at Besant Avenue, Chennai followed by other places which you can check with from the Trusts. The full set of 108 plants listed below are easy to grow in your villages, schools, colleges, road sides and open parks too.
WHICH CORRESPONDING SAPLING ARE YOU TO ASSOCIATE WITH AS PER YOUR BIRTH SIGNS?
Please find the list of trees that you should go in for depending on your birth star and Padhams. Each sapling costs Rs 350 per Birth star of a family member and the member needs to come in person to put the sapling in soil as these are matters that govern the heart and health of the individual.
Trees can survive without man, but man cannot survive without trees.
