Building a sense of environmental awareness and ownership..

We have to inculcate the perspective of patriotism, spirituality and environment protection in our everyday life and practice it.
Sri Krishna sent this message of environment protection through his various deeds. Such messages are a very essential part of all Sanatana Dharma practices.
Festivals must be celebrated with great energy and gaiety, but also with the concern for the environment and for the cultural and spiritual sensibilities.
Any practices, events that violate the spirit of societal and and environment welfare must be avoided.
Use of big idols made with non-clay materials must be avoided.The idols used must be prepared of the idols from clay. Only natual dyes must be used to color the idols to prevent any environmental damage.
A big movement to ensure a ecologically friendly , spiritually rich Ganapati festival must be taken up.
