 Sacred Groves @ Amritapuri.org pages
Kavinte Raksha Nadinte Raksha—"protection of the sacred groves is protection of the country." This is the name of the GreenFriends programme focused on the protection and proliferation of kavus, sacred groves, with the dual aim of helping society re-harmonize with Nature and of protecting the environment.
This is a tragedy, as the kavus not only are a means for people to worship Nature as a manifestation of the Divine, but also a means to protect biological resources, to provide sanctuaries for flora and fauna (especially ayurvedic herbs), to provide oxygen to surrounding area and to provide deep groundwater reserves.
In essence, a sacred grove is a temple—a natural temple where the deity worshipped is the temple itself.

The Mariposa Grove of Giant Sequoias provides the hiker with endless opportunities to view and learn about these magnificent trees—among the more interesting specimens you will encounter along your hike are the Fallen Monarch, the Bachelor and Three Graces, the Giant Grizzly, and last but not least, the California Tunnel Tree.
The trail that winds through the Mariposa Grove is marked by a series of interpretive plaques that describe the shallow root systems of these giants, and the tiny seeds that depend on fire to maintain reproduction and health.
NBH Tip: Mariposa Grove is the largest and most popular grove within Yosemite National Park, so crowds can be large, but do not despair—as the trail moves away from the tram access the forest becomes surprisingly soothing.
