Sri Swamiji speaks about bonsai on 6th February 2009 for the inaguration of Silver Jublee Function of Bonsai Association in Hyderabad

  • Bonsai is not alien to our culture. The word Bon – signifies comfort and the term Sai – symbolises effort and movement.
  • It reminds us of our duty to be friendly to the nature.
  • We have come across differing views about Bonsai, maligning it as a restrictive practice, which curtails the growth of the plant. But, at the same time, the same set of critics is oblivious to the drastic reduction of forest cover.
    Hence, it is my hobby and passion to resurrect plants, which are in dying stage due to malnourishment/ uprooting/ chopping; in Bonsai form.
  • We have to do away with euphemism and nurture the bondage and affection towards plants. Raise at least a plant in your home, in pots, if you do not have back yard.
  • Make your children feel that the plant is an inseparable part of your extended family. In a society depending on apartment complex for its habitation, Bonsai is the minimal solution.
