Amrithagiri Thought – Disaster Risk Reduction Day

Many “natural” disasters are not truly natural; they are karmaphala, the consequences of our own negligence and greed. When we disturb nature’s rhythm, she responds not in anger, but in balance. What we call disaster is often the Earth trying to heal herself.

If earlier generations had abused the planet as we do now, we would not be here to breathe her air, drink her water, or witness her beauty.

Sustainability is not an act of kindness; it is an act of survival. Each of us is a trustee of this living planet, holding it in care for the generations yet to be born.

To live responsibly, to act mindfully, and to preserve harmony in nature is not a choice anymore; it is our shared dharma.

Respect the right of survival of all other species, and of our upcoming children, too. Let us protect this Earth not for fear of disaster, but for love of the life she sustains.
