We pray to the earth
as Mother Earth.
But she has been exploited
by mixing poisonous
fertilizers into the land,
which is affecting our
environment and
injuring our health.
We have a tradition
of honoring rivers.
Pouring so much
industrial waste and garbage
into the river is not the
way to worship.
The entire universe
and our bodies are
made up of five elements:
air, water, fire, earth and ether.
These elements provide
us with all our needs
and alot depends upon
our understanding and
use of them.
To honor, respect
and take the utmost care:
this would be the greatest
offering to god
and to Mother Earth.
