CAUVERY is calling
DO YOU HAVE THE HEART TO HEAR
Why is it needed !?
“Cauvery has been the source of wellbeing, prosperity and the very source of life for these lands. A forest-fed perennial river is fast becoming a seasonal stream as 87% of tree cover has been removed in 50 years. Cauvery is calling, do you have a heart to hear?” -Sadhguru
Cauvery isn’t in my state why should I donate!?
Cauvery river has been chosen as a model for demonstration, to implant the action plan of Sadhguru, founder of isha foundation. It was members of UN who suggested that, if a “demonstratable model” could be shown by him, then the international institutions would support the cause.(rally for rivers)
