Q5 Do we have to apologise toplant before cutting it?
A5 Yes .In India, we are taught to regardtrees and plants as sacred. Indians
scriptures tell us toplant ten trees if, for any reason, we have to cut one. We
are advised to use parts of trees andplants only as much as is needed for food,
fuel, shelter etc. we are also urgedto apologise to a plant or tree before

Certain trees and plants like tulasi, peepal etc., which have
tremendousbeneficial qualities, are worshipped till today. It is believed that
divinebeings manifest as trees and plants, and many people worship them to

Q6Why do we worship the kalasha?
A6 Beforethe creation came into being, Lord Vishnu was reclining on His
snake-bed in themilky ocean. From His navel emerged a lotus from which appeared
Lord Brahma,the creator, who thereafter created this world.
The water in the kalashasymbolises the primordial water from which the entire
creation emerged. It is the giver of life to all and has the potential of
creatinginnumerable names and forms, the inert objects and the sentient beings
and allthat is auspicious in the world from the energy behind the universe. The
leaves andcoconut represent creation. The thread represents the love
that"binds" all in creation. The kalasha is therefore consideredauspicious and
worshipped.
The waters from all the holy rivers, theknowledge of all the Vedas and the
blessings of all the deities are invoked inthe kalasha and its water is
thereafter used for all the rituals, including theabhisheka.
The consecration(kumbhaabhisheka) of a temple is done in a grand manner with
elaborate rituals includingthe pouring of one or more kalashas of holy water on
the top of the temple.
When the asuras and the devas churned the milky ocean, the Lord appearedbearing
the pot of nectar, which blessed one with everlasting life. Thus thekalasha
also symbolises immortality.
Men of wisdom are full andcomplete as they identify with the infinite
Truth(poornatvam). They brim with joy and love and respect all that is
auspicious. Wegreet them with a purnakumbha ("full pot") acknowledging
theirgreatness and as a sign of respectful and reverential welcome, with a"full
heart"
