Vedic Solutions to Modern Problems

Pt.ShriRam Sharma Acharya

1: Purification of Air Air, water and food are essential for the survival of any being. Sustenance of human life has additional requirements of social and cultural ambience. It is ironical to see that man, the intelligent being, has built the grand edifice of progressive civilization and scientific evolution with a near total neglect of the foundational support system of Nature. What could be worse, this ever-growing race of technological and industrial advancement has hampered the environment to the extent that life on the earth appears to be heading towards the edge of extinction. The gravity of the threat is no less on the social and cultural fronts. Every thoughtful mind is naturally concerned to find some way out.

Past few decades have witnessed several attempt  ' environment protection projects, protocols, policies, etc , at the national and global levels to combat the threats posed by "Global Warming", "Brown Cloud", "Green House Gases", "Depletion of Ozone Layer", "Industrial Waste", "Pesticides and Toxicity of Soil and Crops", "Scarcity of Drinking Water", "Ecological Degradation", etc. However, as no solution suggested or tried so far substantially targets or controls the root causes, the silver line of hope is rather dim and hazy. The ongoing developments on alternate energy systems, non-conventional resources generation, reprocessing of natural resources also are too expensive and impractical for implementation in the geographically and economically heterogeneous world.

Population explosion in the developing countries like India adds to the complexities and the situation remains largely grim. Though at a small scale, efforts of following the guidelines of the Vedic approach to environmental management and socio-economic and cultural system, guided by the rishis (seers-saints and sages of ancient India), have shown promising outcomes. It is therefore in the fitness of things to review the ancient methods and guidelines that may provide us with viable solutions to save our lovely planet. We aim to elucidate the relevant aspects in the present and some more articles of the successive issues of "Akhand Jyoti " The Light Divine.

Thanks GOD,Thanks Sadguru,
