When thousands switched off their lights and meditated for mother earth....

27th March 2010, some 120 cities dimmed down for an hour, with the pledge of enlightening our common future. Struggling to find solution to global climate change, once again global community raised a common voice to stand united against the most crucial environment discrepancy.

Going with the WWF mantra of switching off lights to mark support against climate change, Sanrakshan, DJJS also extended its support to this global call, in our own unique way.

Climate change an environmental discrepancy created by prolonged indiscriminate and unforeseen human action. Fading human- nature relationship of mutualism and growing disconnect with environment stand as major road blocks in finding sustainable solutions to this raging issue. Realizing the philosophy of Sanrakshan, we supported earth hour to reiterate the gravity of the issue and re- ignite compassion for nature, prompting individual action against climate change.

Building upon the traditional science of dhyan complementary to the modern science of energy, we contributed to the initiative by observing an hour of meditation across its centers in India. An hour of silence, an hour of introspection, an hour of prayer for mother earth....across India millions of DJJS followers and associates sat in silence, practicing the eternal technology of consciousness to re- energize the element of divinity running across the creation and heal the world.
