The population of India has increased to more than 1.3 billion. The increase in consumption with the population boom ultimately contributes to Green House Gas emissions. But is population the only reason for consumption? No, that might not be the case. Mahatma Gandhi once said- “The world has enough for everyone’s need, but not everyone’s greed”. India’s culture of simplicity, less consumption pattern is slowly shifting towards exploitation and high consumption. In the face of escalating climate crisis, there is an immense need for developing sensitivity, consciousness for value education and ultimately towards sustainable energy consumption.

The word “rasa” has several meanings in the Sanskrit language. It can mean the taste of a substance, the tissue fluid in the body, the digested food in the intestines or the Rasa Dhatu (metabolic milestone or basic tissue of the body). Each meaning has its own importance. However, the taste (as detected by the taste buds in the tongue) is the fundamental meaning of the term Rasa. This dimension of rasa is also the most meaningful for the layman.

The average age of farmers in India hovers around 51, posing a critical question about the future of farming. The youth’s disinterest in agriculture creates a looming threat. Monocropping exacerbates the problem, diminishing food diversity and impacting nutrition. Hybrid seeds, while boosting production, tether farmers to external dependencies, this dependency disrupts the traditional farming autonomy, leaving farmers vulnerable to market fluctuations and corporate influence.

Yes, sometimes we feel weak & overwhelmed by the circumstances, and it becomes clear to us, "I’m not like that advanced devotee, who just goes for bhakti all the time." At that time, it is important to recognize that we can turn our weaknesses into strengths. This is not cheap coaching advice. We may say, "Oh well, when I’m weak, I’m in Maya."

We may want to become mindful, but may not know clearly how to do so. Here are three tangible steps that we all can adopt according to our capacity: Become aware of our actions: One way to achieve such awareness is to cultivate the habit of becoming observers of ourselves. To that end, especially empowering is the Gita insight that we are spiritual beings distinct from our physical bodies. In fact, the Bhagavad-gita urges us to look at ourselves from the perspective of a non-attached observer (14.23).
