Dear Friends,

Namaskaram!

Elgin was a senior staff member on a joint Presidential-Congressional Commission on Population Growth and the American Future. Duane Elgin was described in April 2009 by the Ecologist Magazine as one of the ten leading visionaries with "big ideas for a better world". In this issue, we have given some of his quotable quotes.

This month, our front page covers an interesting story – Telling the Bees.

In happenings section, we have covered (i) Workshop on “Traditional Siddha Varma Bone Setting Practices” (ii) Work in the field of “Harit Aajeevika” and “Harit Aarogya” (iii) Commissioning of Bio-methanation plants (iv) Paper presentation and (v) Study tour etc.

We have renovated the traditional water body – Agni Teertham near Rajavallipuram in Tirunelveli district. Please read the report by clicking here and 5 minutes documentary in Tamil.

In the wisdom section, Darbari Seth, who was a well known executive of the TATA group relates sustainability with conservation. World Faiths Development Dialogue document very rightly says that culture and spirituality are important dimensions of sustainable development and finally Henryk Solimowski, Polish Philosopher emphasises the importance of frugality in everybody’s life and nicely defines it as “Grace without Waste”.
