The DFW Vikasatarinigini Seva volunteers joined hands with Oak Cliff Earth Day organizers and participated in the event on April 20, 2008. We put up a stall to promote awareness of the environment protection and the service activities of our organization in general. In the stall, we exhibited the information on VT Seva, Prajna, and also messages written by our own Prahaladas and Andals of DFW Prajna center. The City of Dallas Mayor Mr. Tom Leppert graced the event and personally visited our booth. The Oak Cliff Earth Day organizers had given us an opportunity to share our message with the general public, and our children had recited

namasthe: priyadaththa:yai thubhyam de:vi ! vasundhare: ! |

thvam ma:tha: sarva bhu:tha:na:m pa:da sparsam kshamasva me: ||

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.
