HAPPY GANESHA CHATURTHI.. THE TIMELY LESSON!


The live garden looked more green with blooming flowers and many scents spread out all round with butterflies flying beautifully from flower to flower a few resting on flowers taking the sweet nectar all along remaining a true support to the very much required Green Environment!

That evening, the family moved to the nearby Market to buy their Favorite Idol of Lord Ganesha..

There were many idols of different sizes and colors. The boy quickly picked up the plain one saying,

"Grandpa says we should be eco-friendly. No color means that!"

The idol was brought home and next day dedicated Puja was done with the boy participating in each and every activity..

The same evening was the immersion time..

A bucketful of water was brought, a simple Puja was conducted and the idol was about to be immersed in the waters when the boy squarely stopped the members from doing that saying,

"I want my Ganesha!"

The family members coaxed him a lot but the boy never allowed to do that..

The grandpa soon stepped-in and decided to teach the child something timely. He cajoled the boy and said,

"Dear! Why did you buy the eco-friendly Ganesha?"

"To help our garden plants!"

"Shall we help them again?"

"Yes.. I want to do that!"

"See.. Now-a-days rains are less. There is no water for our garden plants. Can we give them some water?"

"Yes! Let's do that immediately!"

"And we give them some food too?"

"Yes..Yes!"

"The soil free from all dangerous substances is their food. If you immerse Lord Ganesha in water, the idol will melt and becomes their food mixed with water. There are no colors in it and you specially purchased the idol!"

"Yes.. We should do that immediately!"

"So.. Tomorrow morning we'll have water mixed with soil. We give that to plants.. That helps our plants grow and we'll have everywhere green.. Don't you want that?"

"Yes.. I want all my plants grow!"

"Now we'll put Lord Ganesha in water and you close your eyes and pray to Him that all plants with us grow big by next year!"

The Little One instantly closed his eyes in front of the immersed Ganesha and prayed aloud what his grandpa had said..

"Now, along with this, we'll daily water our plants in our garden!"

"Yes!"

"In between, we make soil rich adding good food to plants.. You know, it's called manure!"

"Yes.. I want to do that!"

"Good.. Also we will protect our plants by building a nice fence in our garden!"

"Yes!"

"That's a great discipline. You are really a good boy. Now, lets go for our dinner. From tomorrow we regularly do all these works!"

"Yessssss...!"

Screamed the child and both the grandpa and grand child moved to the dining table where food was kept ready

With the Grandpa feeling happy for having implanted in the Little One's mind at the young age,

The Noble Thought of

PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT AROUND!
