Hinduism and Ecology: Kindle the Spirit: Venerate Nature

Today, there is a worldwide movement to protect the environment. But this concern has been part of the Indian ethos since ages.
The five basic elements - kshit i (soil), jal (water), panak (fire), gagan (sky or ether) and sameer (air) from which life has emerged - have all been objects of worship, forming an integral part of Indian tradition. The elements are deified, as they are believed to be protectors of jeevan tatva (life). But they can protect and bless us only if we give them due respect.

BE A MAN OR CHARACTER - BABAMANI

TAPAN KUMAR MUKHERJEE on 10/11/2006 at 5:22am (UTC)

Don't say anything to me other than character-building. I won't listen. You may manufacture a large quantity of arms and ammunitions to make the foreigners quit India, but your comrade may sell those to a band of dacoits. A wide network of conspiracy might have been set up by thought the country to drive the foreigners out, but your brother or your leader may sell the secrets to them. Your top secrets may be transpired through loopholes of your house. Your wisecracks about ideology is nothing but a mission - it only masquerades misdeeds and misappropriations. Will the country every profit by them? Be a man of character first - develop your strength of character - the rest will follow.

CHARACTER - A DEFINITION :- BABAMANI

TAPAN KUMAR MUKHERJEE on 10/11/2006 at 5:15am (UTC)

Do you like to hear sermons? I can tell you only one. That is, "CHARACTER". No explanation is necessary to elucidate what is called a good character. Be a man of character by all means. This is the only duty. If you can perform it perfectly, you will save the country. Much noise has been made about service to the country, but persons who are going behind the bars with a furore may ask themselves secretly whether they are men of characters or not. Can your btother entrust you with a deposit of Rs.10,000/- without any document or evidence before setting out for foreign countries ? Will he get back his money on his return after ten years at the mere asking? If your friend puts up his young, beautiful and healthy sister in your custody before he goes out of station for a business tour, would he get back his sister after five years with her virginity unimpaired?
If you go to a battle-field, will you confront death instead of falling back at the crucial moment?
As you know it is very difficult to make money honestly, will you be able to restrain yourself from making quick money by evil means?
He who deserves the honour rightfully and if, be any chance, you have got the ample opportunity of smuggling that honour for yourself; will be then forego the chance and serve the country without name and fame?
If your answers are positive, you are admittedly a man of character.
