Pankaj: great idea.... so how many trees do you have to plant for going/flying to and from singapore for that conference???
re: Indoors comment was made to illustrate just this point... the carbon footprint of the event.. tree hugging comment was tongue in cheek... difficult to explain if you don't share my sensibilities... For all the electricity that the conference used up how much future green cover did they plant? Your /kabirji's "MO" in the Kabirji ka doha is ME ... GOD.. the big BIG " I-am " in the sky of SHVETASHVATARA UPANISHAD ... where second chapter verse 17 says : "YO DEVO AGNAU YO'PSU VISVAM BHUVANAM AVISHESH, yA OSADHISHU YO VANASPATI-SU TASMAI DEVYA NAMO NAMAH" MEANING, I PARAPHRASE IN MY UNDERSTANDING OF THIS IS ... THE ORIGINAL GOLDEN EGG (HIRNYA GARPHA) ENERGY the I- AM is pervading plants trees and herbal medicines... and, I guess from the writer of the hymns...ie HUMANS... includes me, you, everyone of the 7 billion souls walking on two feet and having some sort of faculty.. in the pound and a half or so of the superfat in the skull... the brain ..abode of the same AGNI .. tattwa as the I-AM... SO I say we should be saluting this I-AM with not just words or feel- good self congratulating activities.. there should be something substantial done... no matter how small an event... BALKAR JI... you are right.. Here, we, some of us, plant trees without any fanfare or even picture taking... and no ministers etc are invited... ha ha... my first lesson in planting for future generation to enjoy or benefit from came from my grandfather, he planted mango trees when he was 80+... knowing full well he wont be around for the fully mature trees to bear the best of the crop... that too not only on his land, but by the roads leading to and out of the village/town and in the district along roads, streams and village wells... and temple yards... he had been doing it for ever it seems, its one village that is green and lush in often arid Suarashtra... usha di ========== On Dec 15, 6:05 am, Balkar Singh <[email protected]> wrote: > Great Idea Pankaj Ji.
