Himalaya Is Pleading

[Virtual Presenter] Himalaya Is Pleading: Don't Make The Mother Earth Angry To Become A Serial Killer.

[Audio] Imagine the magnificent Himalayas, where towering peaks touch the sky and ancient tales linger in the wind. In this awe-inspiring setting, a heartfelt plea echoes through valleys and reaches every corner of the world: "Himalaya is Pleading, Don't make the Mother Earth Angry to become a Serial Killer." This emotional message becomes even more urgent as we witness yet another catastrophe, following the quiet havoc of COVID-19..

[Audio] The Himalayas, a place of spiritual significance and ancient wisdom, have become a battleground where human decisions bear heavy consequences. Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand (North Indian States) and Nepal now grapple with the aftermath of relentless heavy rains, landslides, and the fierce power of cloud bursts. Lives are being lost tragically, homes swept away, and the very landscape reshaped by the unyielding forces of nature. Upon seeing this, my soul trembled when I witnessed some bridges, roads, and buildings crumbling like house of cards, which were like milestones since our childhood days. What suddenly happened? Why did nature take on such a destructive form ?.

[Audio] Please don't see this as mere nature's fury. These are the outcomes of our choices– they're "man-made" outcomes. Everyone's focus has been confined only to their individual comforts. "How we can make our lives as convenient and luxurious as possible, and how we can accumulate as much wealth as we can, has become the sole motive for everyone, regardless of the dire consequences of ruthlessly exploiting the mother earth. The results of our unchecked actions are now unfolding as global warming and unpredictable shifts in weather. Mother Earth, the source of all life, has been pushed to her limits, reacting with a force that's almost like the cry of a wounded being..

[Audio] Think about the similarities between the COVID-19 pandemic and the current Himalayan crisis. They both highlight how interconnected our world is and the delicate balance we must maintain. They remind us of how our actions reverberate across borders and reshape the very fabric of existence. As the pandemic swept across nations, leaving chaos and sorrow in its wake, it reminded us that no country or people are truly isolated. Similarly, the Himalayan disaster shows us the stark consequences of neglecting our planet's wellbeing. In the midst of this whirlwind of suffering, there's a chance for redemption. We can listen to the Himalayas' plea and interpret it as a call for change. A reminder to recognize the delicate balance within our ecosystem and adopt sustainable practices to calm the unrest beneath the surface. Thanks and concluding with utmost resonance, I bid you adieu.
