Semambu tree-veppa maaram

Semambu tree or better known by the name ' Neem ' or ' veppa maaram ' in Tamil is a tree that has long been bersebati in Tamil society's life especially Hindus. Since Azali, this tree plays an important role among Hindus. These 'Neem' trees are usually available in Hindu temple areas and in their housing areas like in estate. The Hindu society planted this tree to get clean air especially in the temple area because this is where Hindus gather to hold a religious ceremony. There is a abstinence when picking this tree leaf. Not anyone who can pick their leaves for their use as they want. The Tree is associated with the goddess of mariamman. In the old days, when there was a plague of smallpox disease or measles, the Hindu society would pick this tree leaf to be made medicine to heal it. The patient will be slept on the leaf and around the house will be tied to this semambu leaf. There is a abstinence that must be obeyed because it has a hook with Dewi Mariamman. In addition, the prayer ceremony is held to receive blessings from Dewi Mariamman. Usually, the patient will heal if he obeys all the compulsory abstinence. The benefits of this tree will not be fully impressed if it does not comply with the Hindu religious based abstinence. Hindus worship trees not as God but they appreciate the donation in daily life. Every tree of God's creation has its benefits and we really respect and respect it. Every creation of God has its function. That's why Hindus relate this nature to God. They worship the sun, the river, the rain, the mountains, and others not as God but all this is the symbol of the existence of God. Greatness we can only find out when the time comes.

Hindu religion was born together with nature.

Without Nature, who are we?
