Aadheenam Sacred Gardens

The full and lush monastery gardens are alive with a great variety of plants, birds, fish and flowers. Today it was all lit with the soft rays from sprinkling rain clouds, which gave everything a glow. The birds are sing, but everything else seems quiet and still.

Peaceful be heaven, peaceful the earth, peaceful the broad space between. Peaceful for us be the running waters, peaceful the plants and herbs! Atharva Veda 19. 9. 1

The blue jade vine looks like it\

s giving off some of its last flowers for the season '

When Breath of Life with his thunder roars o\

er the plants, then, pregnant with pollen, the flowers burst forth in abundance. Atharva Veda 11. 4. 3.'
