“Today, when we think of the study of our dwelling place our thoughts turn to the earth and Mother Nature...
We may divide this study into four areas: • understanding the cycles of nature, • becoming aware of the effects of pollution, • learning how to restore nature to its pristine beauty,
and • putting into practice methods to preserve the purity
of nature.”- “Ecology of the Soul,” by Rajinder Singh.
