BR ShankaranAda, who worships nature as mother, said, A. 29: Only by worshipping and worshipping nature as mother can biodiversity be preserved, hoped B.R. ShankaranAda, President of the Bharatiya Shikshan Mandal.
Speaking after inaugurating a national symposium on the topic of biodiversity of Kodagu in the context of green conservation at the Harangi Auditorium of Kodagu University, he said that nature is on the verge of destruction today due to human selfishness.
Due to the rape of the environment in the name of development, nature has started to suffer, and human peace has been destroyed due to earthquakes and floods. However, man, who has not learned his lesson, has started to misuse nature wantonly for his luxurious lifestyle.
Without having a sense of justice, tissue culture is being practiced, and trees are being destroyed in large numbers.
Trees are also being destroyed due to the use of spoons instead of the five fingers given to us by God. Therefore, a person who does not understand the subtleties of nature suffers from every small mistake he makes. Therefore, we need to protect nature by having a subtle sensitivity to it and worshiping it in its mother form. For peace in space and world peace, inner peace in man should be the duty of Indians. Shankaranad opined that the sound of peace should be heard everywhere to drown out the sound of bullets and bombs that kill people.
Dr. Ashok Sangappa Alura, Vice Chancellor of Kodagu University, who presided over the function, said that the rich biodiversity of greenery cultivated and protected by the people of Kodagu, including the Western Ghats in Kodagu district, is able to provide clean air to half of India.
He called for the goodwill and good character of the people of Kodagu in protecting the environment and living water of Kodagu to become an example for the entire humanity.
Karnataka State Science and Technology Academy Chairman Dr. A.H. Rajasab said that the role of the divine forests and medicinal plants here is important for the rich biodiversity in Kodagu. He said that when the signs of nature facing difficulties were visible, the ancestors gave the forest the form of divine forests to protect nature. Kodagu V.V. Special Officer Dr. Ravi Shankar gave the introduction and said that the ancestors of Kodagu also took care of the forest as part of their clothing, customs and culture, as a result of which the biodiversity in Kodagu is abundant today. However, he said that it should be the primary duty of everyone today to take care of it for the next generation.
