Cultural Forests In Indian
Cultural Forests In Indian culture or in mythological texts like Vedas, Puranas, Upanishads, the relationship between human society and trees can be seen. In ancient times, our ancestors lived in the vicinity of trees and vines. Ancestors have studied these subjects since ancient times and collected information about them. The ancestors understood the importance of trees for happiness, peace, prosperity and health. That is why they worshiped trees. Even today, trees are worshiped directly or indirectly in most of our religious festivals. Trees have a direct effect on human society, as mentioned in ancient texts as well as in medicine. Today’s human beings have become more confident in subjects like astrology, architecture, ayurveda etc. It is a well-known fact that in today’s scientific age, trees, vines, plant roots, bark, leaves, flowers, fruits are useful in making Ayurvedic, Allopathic, Homeopathic as well as Biochemical medicines. Planting some trees removes the evil elements and is also believed to have a positive effect on one’s life. Modern science may not agree on such effects of trees. But the beliefs that run from our tradition as well as its adorable tree is described with each planet, constellation, zodiac sign as shown in our ancient scriptures. Planetary, constellation, zodiac, tree planting and tree conservation centered on the ancient culture and faith of India have a positive impact on human society.
