Happy Earth Day - Bhoomi Sukta

Bhoomi is maintained by Divine powers and Penance:

Bhoomi is the Witness of our Past, Present and Future:

.

The Hindu way to deal with biology requires that we initially see how Hindu Dharma sees the universe of nature, which is altogether different than that of the transcendent western religions.

.

The Hindu perspective of nature depends on the Vedas, Upanishads and Vedanta and their philosophical perspectives, and in addition Hindu reverential and formal practices. As per Hindu idea, there is no detachment between the Divine and the universe of nature. They are the two parts of a similar reality. The grandiose the truth is one like the sea. Nature or the show world resembles the waves on the surface of the ocean. Brahman or the unmanifest Absolute resembles the profundities of the ocean. Be that as it may, it is all water, all a similar single sea.

🏺

At last for the Hindu as the Upanishads say, "Everything is Brahman," Sarvam Khalvidam Brahma. This does not imply that the educated Hindu thoughtlessly loves the powers of nature on an external level out of superstition and dread. The Hindu sees a Divine and consecrated nearness working behind the types of nature as their inward soul, which is the genuine protest of their reverence.

.

The hallowed nearness of Brahman, or the Supreme Divine Reality, is there in God, what is called Ishvara or the vast ruler in Hindu idea. However it is likewise present in the spirit or resurrecting element, what is known as the Jiva as our higher Self. What's more, it is available in the realm of nature, Jagat. God, soul and the world are parts of One Reality, yet not limitedly. Every offer the total of the hidden Reality. Each is consecrated and holds the same more profound nature of Being, Consciousness and Bliss (Sat-chit-ananda). The Hindu Yogi can observe the same preeminent Reality in the individual, a snake, a molecule of clean or a removed star, and past untouched and space!

.☘️

This Vedic vision of solidarity is the reason for a biological approach in which we can respect the whole universe as our very own component higher Self. It takes us past the duality of God and the creation. God does not make the world out of nothing. The world, God and the spirit are characteristic parts of the same Eternal Being. We require not secure nature as we would a mediocre animal. We can respect nature as our own particular more noteworthy life and articulation.

Bhoomi Sukta :

सत्यं बृहदृतमुग्रं दीक्षा तपो ब्रह्म यज्ञः पृथिवीं धारयन्ति ।

सा नो भूतस्य भव्यस्य पत्न्युरुं लोकं पृथिवी नः कृणोतु ॥१॥

(Satyam Brhad-Rtam-Ugram Diikssaa Tapo Brahma Yajnyah Prthiviim Dhaarayanti |

Saa No Bhuutasya Bhavayasya Patny[i]-Urum Lokam Prthivii Nah Krnnotu ||1||)

Meaning:

1.1: (Salutations to Mother Earth) The Truth (Satyam), the Cosmic Divine Law (Ritam), the Spiritual Passion showed in Mighty Initiations, Penances and self commitments to the inquiry of Brahman (by the sages); these have maintained the Mother Earth for a very long time (Who thus have upheld these in Her Bosom),

1.2: She, Who is to us the Consort of the Past and the Future (being its witness), May She grow our internal life in this World towards the Cosmic Life (through Her Purity and Vastness).

• Atharva Veda 12.1.

यस्यां समुद्र उत सिन्धुरापो यस्यामन्नं कृष्टयः संबभूवुः ।
यस्यामिदं जिन्वति प्राणदेजत्सा नो भूमिः पूर्वपेये दधातु ॥३॥

Meaning:
3.1: (Salutations to Mother Earth) In Her is woven together Ocean and River Waters; in Her is contained Food which She manifests when ploughed,
3.2: In Her indeed is alive all Lives; May She bestow us with that Life.

Bhoomi degrades in the absence of Dharma and Penance:

1. During the advent of Kali, both Dharma in the form of Bull and Bhoomi in the form of Cow were reduced to one leg
2. During the reign of king Prithu, the Earth hid the food grains due to the absence of Dharma and Spiritual Practices among the citizens
3. When demon Durgama took hold of the Vedas, Sandhyas and Homas stopped, and this lead to the absence of Rains and Famine

Save Earth , Save Cow, Be Green...

Save Earth , Save Cow, Be Green...

यस्याश्चतस्रः प्रदिशः पृथिव्या यस्यामन्नं कृष्टयः संबभूवुः ।
या बिभर्ति बहुधा प्राणदेजत्सा नो भूमिर्गोष्वप्यन्ने दधातु ॥४॥

Meaning:
4.1: (Salutations to Mother Earth) In Her resides the Four Directions of the World; in Her is contained Food which She manifests when Ploughed,
4.2: She sustains the various Lives living in Her; May She, the Mother Earth, bestow on us the Ray of Life present even in Food.
