During our stay in Coorg with friends, they recommended
visiting Dubare elephant camp. We listened to the memories of their visit many
years back when it was not so much developed. Since we had a morning free, we
set out to the elephant camp.
Dubare Elephant camp is a project undertaken by forest
department and Jungle Lodges and Resorts Ltd. The elephants here are trained
under naturalists. To explain the different aspect of elephant history, biology
and ecology, there is a trained naturalist. One can spend hours simply watching
Elephants, and can also participate in various activities involving elephants.
The place seemed very serene and I wanted to spend some time
near the water and a huge tree.
While walking towards the tree, my husband remarked,
“I am getting the vibrations of a temple here.”
He walked away and I was taking in the divine vibrations. Considering the vibrations, I thought that it
may be a banyan or peepal tree. But the leaves looked different.
Then I noticed
a large opening on the trunk of the tree. I peeped inside and saw what looked
like thick roots. On closer examination, it looked like trunk of another tree,
which must have grown from a seed lodged in the crack of the tree trunk.
I traced that stem up and to my surprise, saw leaves of
peepal on its branches!
That explained the energy field around and my heart was
filled with reverence and wonderment at Nature’s ways.
