From Ancient Wisdom to Modern Solutions

 

A Call for Water Conservation on World Water Day 2025

Water — the lifeline of our Blue Planet — sustains life in every form. Flowing like blood through Earth’s veins, it nurtures mountains, plains, forests, and every living being, carrying essential nutrients and elements within it.

Water is not just a resource; it is life itself.

Life on Earth is composed as well as sustained by 5 elements, often called Panch Mahabhuta:

• Earth (Prithvi): Provides the solid foundation for life, giving structure and stability to all living beings.
• Water (Jal): Essential for all bodily functions, acting as a solvent and medium for transporting nutrients.
• Fire (Agni): Represents energy and metabolism, driving the processes that sustain life.
• Air (Vayu): Facilitates respiration, enabling the exchange of gases necessary for survival.
• Space (Akasha): Provides the medium in which all other elements exist, allowing for growth and expansion.

Hence, water has always been regarded sacred, especially in our nation.

Our ancestors developed sophisticated systems to manage water resources, demonstrating a deep understanding of its value. Ancient civilizations built extensive aqueduct networks to transport water over long distances. In arid regions, rainwater harvesting and underground storage systems were used for collecting and preserving scarce water. Even water purification systems involving sunlight, heat, and filtration with materials like sand and charcoal, were used.

Let’s take a look at the valuable teachings of Saint Dr, MSG and implement them in our lives.
