PRAJNA Students chanting the Earth Awareness Sloka at Oak Cliff Earth Day Event

One of the students further explained the meaning and essence of the slokam emphasizing on REALIZING the value of mother Earth and RESPONDING to her and how our Vedic tradition salutes to Mother Earth. The Earth is mother of all irrespective of nationality, race, religion and any other discrimination. Animals and Plants are also the children of mother earth. When we wake up in the morning, we realize the essence of loving and caring for mother earth. We then respond, by practicing it through out the day. We live in harmony with other beings on Earth by celebrating and protecting her.
