Relegious Duties and Ecological Balance ?

Today Scientists boasts of great advancement in Industrial Revolution ; resulted in massive production of material goods and services which has uplifted the lives of many.
Although this may be true to a certain extent; Industries to function; depend on large quantities of raw materials such as Water etc which are obtained from nature. The food we eat, the Air we breathe, the water we depend for different day to day activities are not manufactured by Industries; but are gifts of God through nature .

Sri Krishna in Sri Bhagavad Gita 3.15 explains the significance of performance of relegious duties by all to maintain the Ecological Balance.

annad bhavanti bhutani
parjanyad anna-sambhavah
yajnad bhavati parjanyo
yajnah karma-samudbhavah


" All living beings subsists on food grains, which are produced from rain. Rains are produced by the performance of Yajna ( sacrifices ) and Yajna is born of prescribed duties."

Again in Bhagavad Gita 3.10 and 3.11 Sri Krishna talks about Yajna and how performances of which shall fulfill all ones desires.

saha-yajnah prajah srstva
purovaca prajapatih
anena prasavisyadhvam
esa vo 'stv ista-kama-dhuk ( 3.10) 


" In the beginning of the creation; the Supreme Lord Vishnu created people along with Yajnas and declared "  Prosper by this Yajna; because its performance will bestow upon you all desirable things. 

devan bhavayatanena
te deva bhavayantu vah
parasparam bhavayantah
sreyah param avapsyatha ( 3.11 )


" The Demigods ( The different Devas such as Indra, Varuna, Vayu etc who are representatives of Lord Vishnu ) being pleased by sacrifices, will also please you. Thus nourishing one another, there will reign general prosperity for all."

Today the world is plagued with different natural problems such as Drought, global warming, Food scarcity, gradual reduction in the renewable sources of energy. If one is not part of the Solution; he is part of the problem. It mandates all to listen to the voice of the Supreme Creator in the form of the instructions available in the Bhagavad Gita and thus begin to enquire on ones relegious duties and responsibilities in life to be a part of the Solution and thus play his role to maintain the ecological balance.
