SAVE YOURSELF – SAVE THE MOTHER EARTH

 

 

Dear Citizens,

In continuation of the spirit of ESWARA’s 35th Lecture in the Series in Ancient Indian Sciences organized on this year’s EARTH DAY on 22nd April at Dr. B.R.Ambedkar Open University, we wish to remind people of various strata in the society about the urgent need to change our attitude towards ourselves and the Mother Earth. According to the Indian culture we remember our mothers and Mother Earth every moment of the day and every day of the year and not once in a year. Whatever religion, caste or land we belong to, whether we are theists or atheists, we have to save the internal Panchabutas (Earth, Water, Fire, Air

and Space) of our body and external Panchabhutas (Air, Water and Land - Fire and Space being immune to pollution), making up the world. The Once attractive slogan “Industrialize or Perish†has now turned in to a curse “Industrialize and Perishâ€.

Let us not allow the Mother Nature to be destroyed in the name of indiscriminate “development†promoted by vested interests. With the so called development and a changing lifestyle, pollution is mounting. The Earth is getting hotter. Forests are dwindling. Deserts are spreading. Glaciers are melting. Dangerous changes are coming in the climate. The consequences are draughts, floods, cyclones, epidemics etc. The worst sufferers are going to be the poor people and poor countries. Let us not leave a horrendous future for our dear children and grand children. Thought pollution is the root cause of all pollutions. Unless we change our

mindset no pollution measures can solve the problem. Let us change our lifestyle. Wake up! Let us do as many things as possible in the list below (or make your own list) and save ourselves and the Mother Earth from an impending disaster.

 

 

Protection of the Self

 

Protection of the Nature

 

 

The Human body is like a temple. We need to keep the body and mind healthy by keeping the internal Panchabhutas in balance and free from pollution. We need to change our attitude towards life. We need to control our greed for money making and merry making. We need to cut down on lavish living and wastage of resources. We need to avoid thought pollution. We need to live in friendship with Nature. We need to control our jealousy and hatred towards fellow beings. We need to avoid crowded places, harsh lights, harsh sounds and an erotic lifestyle, to live a healthy and peaceful life. We need to avoid refined and treated foods. We need to cut down on unnecessary shopping. House holders need to cut down on eating out. We need to restore the best of ancient Indian culture to combine with the best of modern living. We need to respect our

elders, serve them, cheer them up and imbibe their wisdom. When we spare a little time, money and energy to the service of the less privileged people in the society, we will be immensely happy and peaceful.

 

We need to protect our earth, water and air at any cost. It is dangerous for India to plan its development on the Western model. We need to develop our country based on our nearly 1.2 billion population and problems of the majority of people, particularly those below the poverty line. We need to cut down our own contribution to the destruction of Nature. We need to avoid wastage of precious energy resources. We need to cut down on individual transport and opt for world class public transport system. We need to cut down our movement and unnecessary travel. The city dwellers should avoid polluting the rural and

tribal areas. We need to cut down on the use of vehicles, electric and electronic gadgets to the extent possible. Governments and Scientists obsessed with high technology cannot find solutions for the global warming. Only natural and simple solutions involving minimum technology can save us and the Mother Earth. India backed by the brilliant Vedic wisdom can be a world leader in fighting pollution.
