Real Flowers in Real Emotions: Don't Let The Fake Flowers Destroy Our Farmers Income

Beyond Plastic: Use Real Flowers to Bridge Real

Hearts, Saluting Our Farmers, Support Your National Pride

Introduction: The Choice between Real and Artificial

Deep within India's vast landscapes, there's a community of farmers who pour their heart and soul into cultivating beautiful flowers. These aren't mere plants; they symbolize the farmers' dedication, dreams, and the hours they spend nurturing each bloom.

Yet, in our fast-paced world, many of us are opting for plastic flowers - cold, lifeless imitations.

Think about the message we send when we choose the artificial over the authentic. It's akin to dismissing the love and sweat of every farmer who hoped their flower would brighten someone's day.

Each time we reach for the fake, we indirectly tell these devoted souls that their efforts aren't worth our appreciation. It's a choice, and every choice echoes. Let's make sure our choices uplift those who genuinely deserve our support.

Imagine holding a flower in your hand - its delicate petals, its fresh fragrance & its vibrant colour. Now think of where it came from and the hands that nurtured it.

Every flower tells a story,

one deeply intertwined with India's soul and progress. Dive into this tale, one of empowerment, economic growth, and unwavering patriotism, and discover why choosing real blooms is not just an aesthetic choice, but a statement of love for our nation.

Unearth the compelling reasons to embrace genuine blossoms and why turning away from the artificial is an act of true national pride. Let this journey through petals and leaves rekindle your connection with the real heartbeat of India.

Let's take a decision today about not using Synthetic flowers or plants. But the question is, can you do this? If yes how?

You can be the change maker.

I have spent over 30 years in this beautiful industry and have seen the pain of

these farmers very closely. ?On behalf of these farmers, appeal to use fresh over fake in the following instances:

Real Flowers On Festive Occasions

During Diwali, many opt for synthetic marigolds, missing the true essence of the

festival. Real flowers, with their natural vibrancy and aroma, echo our

traditions and support our dedicated farmers. To truly honor Diwali, let's

choose authentic blooms over lifeless imitations. Celebrate genuinely with real

marigolds.

Real Flowers and Social Occasions

Have you ever stopped to feel the magic of fresh roses, the charm of chrysanthemums, the exuberant joy radiating from gerberas, the unmatched grace of orchids, or the regal allure of Lilium? These aren't just any flowers. They are Mother Nature's cherished messages, each one blooming with its own unique tale and deep emotion.

And here's something even more heart-warming: Every single time we choose these blossoms, we're directly supporting our dedicated Indian flower growers. These passionate farmers pour their hearts, soul, and sweat into cultivating each petal, hoping that their labour brings joy, love, and warmth into our lives.

But it's not just about the undeniable beauty of these flowers. It's about building connections. It's about realising that by opting for real over fake, we're doing more than just adorning our spaces. We're embracing nature's authentic magic, while simultaneously uplifting our own Indian community. Think of it: our most

cherished moments, our most genuine celebrations, becoming even more special

because, through our choices, we back a noble cause.

Every rose, every orchid, and every lilium becomes a symbol of not just our emotions, but our shared journey with these growers. We become partners in a story of perseverance, dedication, and love. So the next time you're marking an occasion, remember the hands that nurtured your flowers and the hearts that beat with hope with every bloom. Celebrate with authenticity and know that you're making a difference.

So let's all make a heart-warming promise today: when our feelings are deep and genuine, our flowers should be too. Let them be real, vibrant, and from the very heart of India. Let's always choose to be a part of a bigger, more beautiful

story.

I was in Udaipur last month, planning my daughter's wedding scheduled for March 2024, and I faced a big challenge. The event manager said we should use half fake flowers and half real ones because real ones might fade quickly. But I had some big feelings about this:

It’s a new start. How can we let our kids start their married life with fake things around them? This isn’t just a party; it's a big step in life. We want everything to be real and full of love.

Using real flowers isn’t just about how things look. It's about feeling good, real, and hopeful. We want to create a place filled with love and good wishes. That's what real flowers can do.

? It's about the hearts. Making a place beautiful with real flowers doesn’t mean spending lots of money. It’s about using our heart and creativity. Real flowers have a special charm that money can't buy.

To all parents, the choices we make for our kids' big days are important. Let's choose real love and real feelings. And to event managers: Please understand how much these moments mean to us. Don’t suggest fake things for real moments.

Let’s make a clear choice:

No fake stuff on our special days. Let’s promise this. By doing this, our celebrations will be as true and bright as our dreams for our kids.

Real Flowers in Professional Settings

Recently, as I was busy with the preparations for the "Agriplast Technology Vision 2030" conference, a revelation shook my core. This conference, deeply rooted in agriculture, was meant to reflect our bond with nature and the potential of the land. But when the stage design was presented to me, I was taken aback.

Intertwined in the proposed aesthetics were plastic plant leaves, adorning both

the stage and entrance doors.

How ironic it was – a symposium on agriculture, advocating the gifts of the earth, but decorated with the very synthetic materials that strain our planet. I took a stand and decided not to use any plastic in the décor. The conference went on beautifully, free from the weight of synthetic pretence. I appeal to event managers and organizers across our great nation: let's be vigilant. Let's ensure our events are free from synthetic adornments. As responsible citizens of India, it's our duty to craft genuine celebrations that mirror the authenticity of our land and our intentions.

Use Of Synthetic Flowers By Spiritual Organizations: A Heartfelt Appeal To Leaders And Spiritual Leaders That Guides Us In Our Journey About Life And Energy.

On World Environment ?last year in Bangalore, I was invited by Brahma Kumaris Bangalore as a chief guest. I was taken aback. The stage I was invited to was adorned with fake flowers. This simple choice led me to a deep reflection on the messages we convey and the actions we take.

Here’s why this matters so much:

To organizations like the Brahma Kumari’s, Art of Living, and revered spiritual guides like Sadhguru of Isha Yoga and many more, as well as our respected political leaders:

Your words have the power to change minds and hearts. I urge you to spread awareness about the importance of choosing the real over the artificial. Lead by example. Inspire your followers and the masses to align their actions with their beliefs. By advocating for and practicing authenticity, we can collectively nurture both our souls and our planet. Let's embrace genuine choices and pave the way for a more connected and conscious society.

Economic and Societal Impact

Every flower that blooms tell a simple yet profound story of hard work and hope. Let's pause and think about the hands that nurture these flowers, and what they mean for our country:

Patriotism and Cultural Reflection

So, the next time you see or buy a flower, remember the stories it holds. It's not just about beauty and fragrance; it's about dreams, growth, and the heartbeat of India's progress. Supporting these farmers means supporting the soul of our nation. In wrapping up, let's revisit the heart of the matter:

It's more than just a choice between real and fake. It's a choice between supporting our own or diverting our resources elsewhere. It's a matter of national pride. Each time we choose genuine Indian flowers, we're not just beautifying a space – we're nurturing the very soil of our nation.

You have 2 choices, you continue to buy plastic flowers and support Chinese economy where most of the plastic flowers are imported or support our real farmers by buying flowers in the Indian economy.

Let the fragrance of true, Floral blooms fill our lives, not the hollow scent of impostors.
