Reconnecting with Nature on World Environment Day A Sanatan Perspective by Dr Tejas Mojidra

Ahmedabad (Gujarat) [India], June 3:  This World Environment Day, let us revisit the timeless wisdom of our Sanatan Sanskriti, which teaches us that Nature is not just a resource, but a divine partner in our journey of life.

In our tradition:

• Air is Vayu Devata
• Water is Jal Devata
• Rivers are revered as mothers
• Earth is our Bhumi Mata
• Trees are part of our daily puja
• Animals are sacred as vahanas (divine vehicles)
• Mountains are worshipped

And seasonal festivals keep us aligned with natural cycles

This wasn’t just culture—it was a conscious environmental lifestyle.

Where Did We Go Wrong?

In chasing modern comfort, we began treating Nature as a commodity, not a companion.

Forests vanished, rivers polluted, and climates grew unstable.

Result?

• Climate Change
• Global Warming
• Air & Water Scarcity
• Biodiversity Loss

The Way Forward: Fusion of Ancient Wisdom + Modern Science

As someone working on Sarasvati River research with retired ISRO scientists, I believe revival is possible—by combining:

• Traditional ecological knowledge
• Scientific methods like satellite imagery, hydrology, and eco-restoration
• Policy changes rooted in dharma and sustainability

Let’s Unite to Restore Balance

Real change demands collective effort. We must involve:

• Industrialists → adopt sustainable practices
• Students & Educators → nurture eco-awareness
• Politicians & Planners → integrate ancient wisdom into development
• Citizens → embrace lifestyle changes

We don’t need to choose between tradition and progress—we must blend them.

Be the Ancestor Future Generations Will Thank

Let’s take responsibility. Let’s act with a dharmic mind and scientific heart.

The Earth remembers.

Let us be remembered for the good we did.
