In the Mahabharata, Shri Krishna gave the message of fighting against injustice. Fighting against injustice is the biggest religion. Lord Shri Krishna has taught us the importance of karma.
Chief Minister Shri Sai said that Shri Krishna was a nature lover. When we remember Lord Krishna, we remember the banks of the Yamuna river, the tune of the flute and the herd of cows. Nature is worshipped in Sanatan Dharma. Trees like Peepal, Banyan etc. are considered worshipable. Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi has also called for planting a tree in the name of mother. I request everyone to plant a tree in the name of their mother. Our true devotion towards Lord Krishna will also be expressed only when we fulfill our responsibility towards nature by planting a tree in the name of mother.
