Revering Nature

 

"The Navaratri celebration is an occasion for revering nature and considering how natural resources can be used properly in the best interests of mankind. Resources like water, air, power, and minerals should be used properly and not misused or wasted. Economy in the use of every natural resource is vital. Pollution of the air has many evil consequences. The inner significance of observances like nagarsankirtan [going round a village or town singing devotional songs] and bhajans [devotional songs] is to fill the atmosphere with sacred vibrations and holy thoughts."
