Avadhoot Baba aka Environment Baba is planting trees and performing yogna to preserve environment since he came to Ujjain last month.

“Mother earth is the most important in my life. It has given us everything; the power to think and the vision to follow any religion. Hence, to save this earth, I have devoted all my life in planting trees,” said the seer.

About two dozen people from other countries also participated in the plantation.

“It is an honour to be a part of this plantation drive on the Earth Day along with Environment Baba. He is an example for every seer of every religion,” said Isabella from the Netherlands.

Baba said he would plant trees along the Ujjain ring road if the government allows him to do so.
