2 A person who consumes the least and contributes the most is a mature person, for in giving lies self-growth. Swami Dayananda Saraswathi The above is an excerpt from the book published by VK-nardep on Local Ecological and Cultural Traditions. The book brings out the importance of belief systems, rituals etc. in influencing even global ecological behavior. It brings out how in preserving forest resources the concept of sacred forests play an important role; how customs and traditions make the population adapt an ecologically healthy life style; and how certain local rituals are importantant for bio-diversity as well as personal empowerment.

5 Are you growing spiritually? Can you love others? Can you feel oneness with others? Have you peace within yourself? And do you radiate it around you? That is called spiritual growth. Swami Ranganathananda Green Rameshwaram work The famous Parashurama Teertham getting ready. Earlier it was buried in the sand and pigs were roaming all over the place Completed Parashurama Teertham.

7 Visions of Wisdom Man to become better creature The environmental crisis is an outward manifestation of a crisis of mind and spirit. There could be no greater mis-conception of its meaning than to believe it to be concerned only with endangered wildlife, manmade ugliness, and pollution. These are part of it, but more importantly, the crisis is concerned with the kind of creature that man is and what we must become in order to survive. The science of genetics, biochemistry, physiology, pharmology and ecology have begun to reveal the linkages between the behavior of man and the environment out of which we evolved and to which we are, in important ways inexorably bound. Science has not exorcised the presence of evil in the world, but it has revealed its nature. Lynton K.Caldwell Professor and Recognised as a world expert in the area of politics and Environment Change your lifestyle The real challenge is to find a way of dismantling the consumer society and replacing it with a society which in satisfactions and pleasures which make shopping and material acquisition pale by comparison. The switch depends on individual lifestyle changes and an increase in creative expression, as well as on a restoration of community bonds and determination to find ways of demonstrating a way of life which is attractive and exciting. As our values change, our ideas about appropriate consumption will change naturally and painlessly. Telling people that they will have to consume less is a mistake. We ought to be talking about a more satisfying and sustaining society, not one of hardship and deprivation. By demonstrating that we can find our satisfactions in our work, in physical activity and the natural world, and in loving relationships, by living with vitality and joy and courage without becoming smug or puritanical, we have a good change of promoting the necessary changes in the values of our society Karen Christensen American entrepreneur & Environmentalist West is a Waste! We must resist the violence of Western civilization. Their wealth is founded on a history of plunder, genocide, colonization and war. We must oppose the violence inherent in capitalism itself. We must resist the continued exploitation of the rest of the world by the West. This exploitation is propped up by unequal terms of trade and military might. We must resist the globalization of culture that consumerism necessitates. We must resist the superficiality of mass produced, pop culture and they way it threatens to displace local indigenous cultural production. We must abandon imitative life styles that seek to replicate the hedonism, waste and decadence of the West. Makarand Paranjpe Indian poet & professor Vivekananda Kendra nardep, Kanyakumari Phone:
