The trees in this Eden also include the notorious nux vomica tree, marking nut tree etc; the former produces a bitter-tasting fruit, while the 
latter causes itchy rashes on the skin. He has also planted odallam, a poisonous-fruit tree. These, Dayal maintains, are nature’s purifiers. They absorb poison from the soil and atmosphere and make the environment healthy, therefore becoming necessary evils. Then again, the oleander’s beautiful flowers, and banyan and the holy basil etc lend the necessary aesthetics and produce oxygen in abundance. Dayal mixed organic farming and naturopathy after he met the late CRR Varma, the pioneer of naturopathy in Kerala. He thus does not believe in the use of fertilizers as being necessary to cultivation; they only serve to poison the produce, causing killer diseases like cancer, nephro-ailments and liver cirrhosis. In one part of the land is a pond, the soil dug out of which has been shaped into a hill. The pond acts a reservoir for rain water, while the hill prevents wind turbulence around the region. There is also a kavu (forest) temple nestled in the woods dedicated to the serpent gods, as is common practice in Kerala. Each evening, Dayal unfailingly lights the lamp in front of it. Even though this forest is hardly 10 years old, the trees and the hill and the creeper canes give the look of a perfect ancient Kerala kavu.
Today Dayal is firmly convinced of the self-sufficiency of nature, and is proud of his successful ways of environment protection. But he never tires of touring the state to attend various orientation classes and sharing lessons on the importance of organic farming and the need for trees around houses. Teachers of various schools make it a point to bring students to demonstrate Dayal’s exemplary efforts. He is more than happy to distribute saplings and seeds to interested visitors. He even conducts classes in his house. Jaitha Dayal is ever supportive in her husband’s “divine mission”. Besides all the houwsehold kitchen needs are met in their own forest itself. As we bid adieu to the Dayal couple and walked out of the man-made forest, our faith in nature and its generosity was reaffirmed, apart from being inspired by this man’s mission drawn on wby little rhetoric, and plenty of practical wisdom and altruistic vision.
