It’s pretty worth enough for me. In my opinion, if all webmasters and bloggers made good content as you did, the web will be a lot more useful than ever before.<br /><a href="http://hbseresult2018.in/" rel="nofollow">Hbse 12th result 2018</a><br />juanjuergenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03100195918263372267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5746644026534691738.post-73938702808600961342009-10-06T01:01:23.926-07:002009-10-06T01:01:23.926-07:00Very interesting perspective.

How ? ' Burnt to Ashes ' normally is understood to imply the end of life and no hopes of revival \ resurgence. But life springs up again - when ' ashes ' come in touch with water ! Have we not seen<br />-luxuriant growth after a huge forest fire ?<br />- a ' defiant blade of grass ' rise up through an unused surface - road etc.? <br />- Ganga from heaven stands for ? ! - RAIN from the skies ! ! <br />- so, what is the Jataamukuta of Shiva ?- that dampens the powerful descent of 'Ganga ' ? <br />- It is the FOREST - so thoughtfully provided to absorb the impact of the rain ! - and prevent ' destruction of earth i.e SOIL EROSION ! ! ( the roots hold \ bind the soil and also water together- in a huge underground ‘ water bank ‘ ! ) <br />- in a forest, the excreta of creatures and the leaf litter, shelters the ' friends of the Farmer - the humble Earthworm together with other microbes ' - all of which ' till \ plough ' the soil into a porous sponge. Such soil ( thirsty Mother Earth ) gratefully accepts\ recieves the ' A - TITHEE ' from heaven \ sky \ clouds - and quenches thirst - of itself and all LIFE ! <br />- the rainwater travels down the pores and ' replenishes the underground water bank' <br />- AND thus flows the ' perennial, eternal Ganga ( symbolises every drop of water, lake, river etc... )<br />- evaporation from all these Gangas leads to moisture - laden cloud formation. <br />- As these clouds drift along, the ' cooling effect ' produced by the natural ' air conditioners - the forest' , invite these clouds, who happily deposit the RAIN -<br />A - TITHEE (without appointment) here ! <br />-AND thus, the Hydrological (Water ) Cycle goes ON and ON and ON .... <br />SO, the TREE and the FOREST PROVIDE ALL LIFE WITH ALL their NEEDS ! ! <br />- Air ( Oxygen), Water and Food.- <br />-the 6 F's - Food, Fodder, Fuel, Fertiliser , Fibre and furniture !<br />. <br />Suno Shiva -GANGADHAR Ka KEHNA <br />Paani Ki Har Boond Hai GANGA ! <br />Bhoo Mata Ko Nahin Karna NANGA ! <br />Jungal Nahin TODNA <br />Paed Paudhein Khoob LAGAANA ! <br />Vayu, Pani, Anna Hamesha PAANA ! <br />JUNGAL Hai To MANGAL ! <br />Nahin TO KANGAAL ! ! ! <br />So, this story of the ' Descent Of Ganga ' is the complete \ total symbolism for Life and Biodiversity. <br />So what does deforestation achieve ?- soil erosion . This loose soil is washed down by the next ' descending Ganga ' - ( showers) into the river bed , reducing it’s effective depth. One heavy downpour leads to ' floods'. After the monsoons, the water is used up soon, leading to a ' drought '. !<br /> AND<br /> we pass the buck and call them - floods and droughts - Natural Calamities ! <br />Are we honest ? ! NO ! ! <br />They are ' Manmade Disasters ' ! ! ! <br />Can we implement honestly the saying - A TITHEE DEVO BHAVA ? <br />We should live such that Mother Earth is able to recieve this ATITHEE - rain - without floods !<br />Rainwater harvesting means - welcoming and ensuring the hospitable stay, in your home( land), the A TITHEE from heaven - RAIN - as symbolically represented by the descent of the GANGA into the JATAAMUKUTA ( FOREST ) of SHIVA - and stored for future use in the underground ' water bank' -sustainably managed by the root systems and thus ensure the flow of the eternal, perrenial GANGA and all other rivers - big and small !<br />Thus we can truly apply the wise adage ' A TITHEE DEVO BHAVA !
