Albert Schweitzer, a Nobel Laureate was a French-German theologian, organist, philosopher, and physician. He coined the phrase “Reverence for Life”.

Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev reminded the people on the occasion of Earth Day which was on 22nd April - “We are not different from the earth. So, if the planet is in danger, we are in danger. If the planet is healthy, we will be healthy. If humanity has to live for a long time, you have to think and act like the earth and be the earth because that is what you are. Our lives are not separate from each other; our life is an integrated, connected life”.  This he calls as inclusive consciousness.

22nd April is celebrated as a “World Earth Day”. James Lovelock a famous scientist from England, environmentalist and futurist – all rolled in one proposed for the first time the Gaia hypothesis, which postulates that the Earth functions as a self regulating system. The Gaia hypothesis proposes that living and non-living parts of the earth form a complex interacting system that can be thought of as a single organism, named after the Greek God as Gaia. In this month, we are giving a few of his quotable quotes.

Legend has it that a Pandya king issued an order asking each family to send one person to work on strengthening the banks of Vaigai river. Lord Shiva appeared in the form of a youth and offered to do the work on behalf of an elderly woman. But he dozed off on the banks of the river. On noticing this, the King got angry and struck him with a cane. The blow fell on everyone else, including the King.
