Water: Driving Force of Nature
|
|
Ancient Indians knew the indispensability of water for life on earth. According to ancient beliefs, the universe comprised of five basic elements: kshiti (earth), apah (water), teja (light/heat), marut (air) and vyoma (ether/space). As per the Rig Veda, all life evolved from water (apah). Pure water was called divyajal due to its properties of sheetam (cold to touch), suchihi (clean), shivam (replete with useful minerals and elements), Istham (transperant) and vimalam lahu shadgunam (acidic balance should not exceed normal limits). Besides, there are copious references to medicinal properties of water.
With two thirds of the earth’s surface covered by water and the human body consisting of 75 percent of it, it is evidently clear that water is one of the prime elements responsible for life on earth. Civilisations owe their evolution to water ever since the beginning of humankind. Water influenced where people lived as our ancestors formed small cities around water for agricultural reasons…….
There is a true proverb in Hindi “Jal hai to Kal hai” which means if there is water then only our future is safe. However man has been mercilessly misusing this precious resource given by nature. It is time that the bugle call is sounded to make everyone realize that water cycle and the life cycle are one. Therefore, from today let all of us start saving each and every drop of water and conserve this priceless resource.
