Good Morning Only very recently I realised that Speaking Tree is not about spirituality or mythology or philosophy. Those who write the columns there are ordinary human beings like you and me. They may have more knowledge or a better way of expressing themselves more convincingly. But the subjects they handle are of consequence to all of us. We can easily relate the experiences they share and the stories they tell with our day to day real life experiences. These thoughts came to mind while reading this piece by a senior media professional, Sivakumar Sundaram : When a master weeps, a seeker learns - The Times of India https://share.google/u0RWgHqxYL0ATxz3s Excerpts : "I am a seeker. Like every seeker, i walk into temples of faith with folded palms and unspoken questions. We go to seek blessings, to seek protection, to offer gratitude and to seek answers to questions no human being can answer. Kailash Manasarovar is where seekers have always taken such questions. That mountain d...

Manisha spoke about the crisis at ‘In Solidarity with Nepal’, a special event led by spiritual leader Sadhguru on Sunday, August 30." Blame game and research can wait. The call, from whatever corner, to support the victims of the calamity, all of us need to listen. The appeal is to the responsible world leaders and their irresponsible followers who placed many of them, who are suffering fro...

When nature speaks, humanity must listen because trees and ecosystems communicate through quiet wisdom, biological signals, and interconnected roots that sustain all life on Earth. The Voice of the Speaking Tree Silent Wisdom: Trees stand through changing seasons, offering shelter, stability, and quiet lessons in resilience. Underground Networks: Forests communicate through hidden fungal networks (mycorrhizal networks) that transfer nutrients, water, and warning signals between trees. Environmental Signals: Trees register stress, drought, and damage through changes in their leaves, growth rings, and chemistry. Why Humanity Must Listen Ecosystem Balance: Ignoring the distress signals of forests leads to severe climate shifts, habitat loss, and resource depletion. Mindful Connection: Slowing down to observe nature restores human well-being and grounds us in a shared planetary community. Friends Last week I tried to draw the attention of the literate audience about the global responsi...
