Brahma, Vishnu, Mahesh

First I bow to the elephant head Lord,

The destructor of all evils,

Mother Gauri’s son

Gajanan – Ganesh!



Secondly, I remember the Goddess Sharda,

Bearing the Veena and Veda,

The provider of knowledge -

Material and spiritual.



Thirdly, I touch the feet of Tridev

Brahma, Vishnu & Mahesh

Manifested in the Pipal

The life giving tree!



Trees are truly the Gods

Brahma –

Giving oxygen & life

Vishnu –

Nurturing through roots, stem

Leaves & fruits

Mahesh –

Drinking all the poison

Killer gases emanating from factories

Buses, Cars & Scooters.



Worship through incense sticks

Burning candles and lamps

Would serve no purpose

Till we start worship of trees

Growing and protecting them!
