LEARNING FROM NATURE REMEMBERING TAGORE
India International Center, New Delhi
1st October, 2011Let us all return to the soil
That lays the corners of its garments
And waits for us.
Life rears itself from her breast,
Flowers bloom from her smiles
Her call is the sweetest music;
Her lap stretches from one corner to the other,
She controls the strings of life.
Her warbling waters bring
The murmur of life from all eternity.
- Rabindranath Tagore (Palliprakiti, i)

Navdanya celebrates BHOOMI: The Earth Festival on 2nd October at IIC Auditorium, New Delhi |
We have turned our backs to the Earth. We have forgotten that she supports us, that she gives us food, she gives us water. The Right to Food & Water are derived from the Rights of Mother Earth. The more we neglect her and privatize her resources, the more people go hungry and without water.
As we celebrate 20 years of Navdanya’s formal existence, we celebrate Earth Democracy based on our practice of Bija Swaraj, Bhu Swaraj, Anna Swaraj, Jal Swaraj and Van Swaraj.
