Mother
Earth Smiles through flowers,
through
trees gives a place to rest,
Last
week during my lunch time walk across the campus,I came across these purple
flowers at System Garden.Somehow got attracted to these flowers and their
color.I realised that, apart from the flowers, there is something to the purple
color. Looked up on the net and found this interesting explanation,
"Purple
is the color of good judgment. It is the color of people seeking spiritual
fulfillment. It is said if you surround yourself with purple you will have peace of mind. Purple is
a good color to use in meditation.Purple has been used to symbolize magic and
mystery, as well as royalty. Being the
combination of red and blue, the warmest and coolest colors, purple is believed
to be the ideal color. Most children
love the color purple. Purple is the color most favored by artists. Thursday's
color is purple."
There
is a beautiful sanskrit prayer towards mother earth advised by our elders to
chant as first thing in the morning(along with few others), as you get up from
your bed and before you put your feet on the ground. (which helps one start their
day with feelings of gratitude, thankfulness and positive emotions).
"Samudra
Vasane Devi, Parvata Stana Manditae
Vishnupatni
Namastubhyam, Paada Sparsham Kshamasva Me.
Oh
! Mother Earth, who has the ocean as clothes and mountains and forests on her
body, who is the wife of Lord Vishnu, I bow to you. Please forgive me for touching
you with my feet."
