At Kurukshetra no blood, only rivers should flow
Jaipur, September 29: At Kurukshetra no blood, only rivers should flow. This was said by Padma Vibhushan awardee Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev on Friday as he has already started a massive movement to spread awareness across the country to save rivers.
Driving his car and travelling across the country to spread awareness of saving the river and as well as water, Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev filmed a video and shared it on twitter saying, “At Kurukshetra. No blood. Only Rivers should flow. #RallyforRivers.”
However, this was clearly said with an aim to save water and river but Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev also indirectly indicated towards great Mahabharata war that was held in Kurukshetra and as well as recent unrest in Haryana over Ram Rahim case.
Earlier, on Thursday, Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev reached Jaipur where the rally for rivers event was organized to spread awareness amongst Rajasthanis to save rivers. On this occasion, Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev said, “You all should do three things to save our rivers. First, give a missed call to 80009-80009. Second, make sure that everyone you know gives a missed call at this number and third, make sure that everyone you don’t know gives a missed call at this number.”
BACKGROUND:
Rally for Rivers was a campaign launched by Isha Foundation in 2017 to save the dying rivers of India. Rally for Rivers campaign was launched to create awareness on protecting rivers. The campaign was launched by Sadhguru.
He requested people across the nation to join the campaign and show their support for the cause. Sadhguru, who addressed a gathering of more than 10000 people at Isha Yoga Centre, said water is one of the most fundamental requirements for life.
The campaign has received support from public figures like Shahrukh Khan, Salman Khan, Kajol Devgn, Juhi Chawla, Sachin Tendulkar, Rajnikanth, Akhilesh Yadav, Chandrababu Naidu, Uma Bharti, Venkaiah Naidu, Yogi Adityanath, Shivraj Singh Chouhan and many more.
Sadhguru has chosen to drive a Mercedes AMG G63 SUV for the rally and to lead another 20 Mahindra XUV500s. The large carbon dioxide emissions from these vehicles and resulting environmental impact have faced criticism also.
