Rivers are to be feed with your food offerings rather than the faeces!

In India people always ask about maintaining the River ecosystem and the Indian Government spends crores of rupees on managing the river through Ganga Bacha Abhiyan or any other such matter. Now, the fact of the matter is that if we as a people who reside beside the river in many of the cities and take bath in the river or go for an early walk can do a different chore which will help us for many years to come. The Indian rivers are very much like any other friend, philosopher or guide and thus they put all the necessary efforts to make you feel good and give blessings of well-being.

But what we as a human being do is that we immediately start pissing at the river bed or also at times relieve ourselves. Although, at any time if such necessity arises when you are too eager to relieve then it stands to be O.K. but making it a habit makes you punishable in the eye of God and mother nature.

The best thing which could be done is to give a thought that "Rivers are to be fed with your food offerings rather than the feces" and anything which you grow near the river bed without ant bigger function could be simply offered to the river. It could be anything like a Chana, Gud or peanuts along with some peas. The fact is that while carrying something in your hand you could just offer it with no such mantra or aadambar involved in it. Although I am not adamant that everybody should practice it on the other side if such a thing is done then it adds value to your life and the river gives you equivalent respect just like your own mother.

The Cauvery river bed issue along with many other remains more or less a fluke as most of the time such propaganda is done to collect money on an international level and then more such programs are held around it but it adds to the natural waste all around the river bed. Just, remember that a few years back one must have seen Sri Sri Ravi Shankar have held a program at Yamuna River and it lead to much of the disaster for the river although they must have gone altogether with the help of volunteers to save the river.

But, it is always good not to do the damage and then find a solution for it in the name of damage control but it is always preferred to have a better understanding and then react according to the situation and the river will be with you as water constitutes the 70% of the body and 3/4th mass of the Earth but still people say water-water everywhere not a drop to drink!
