Shanthivanam
Green Endeavors for a better tomorrow. . .
Live in complete harmony with Nature,
Experience the grace of God in the splendor of the universe.
Be blessed by God's reassuring love, The sweet dawn will sweeten your soul,
The dazzling mid-day will set your hearts aflutter,
And the serene music of your soul will guide you towards peace and prosperity
And when the day's task is over you will sleep in the lap of Mother Nature,
All the deities will be favorable to you(Yajur Veda .34.37)
