If you look at Tapobhoomi, everything is barren, and the effort to grow trees on this barren land is also the work of Tapobhoomi. This Tapobhoomi is the land of those who do penance. Just as trees also stand tall in the face of storms, rain, and wind, if you want to maintain your existence in life, trees teach you to move forward without being afraid of all the subtle crises and sorrows. Take the message of living life from nature and accordingly, we should maintain this balance of nature. This address was given by Shri Datta Padmanabha Peeth, Peethadheeshwar Adhyatma Shiromani, Padma Shri awardee Sadguru Brahmeshanand acharya Swamiji.
