EcoDharma Project: Greening the North American Hindu and Jain Temples
EcoDharma Project in Collaboration with HASC, GreenFaith, and Pluralism Project
The Almighty is Omnipresent every where in the universe, including planet earth. Take only what you need from the bounties of planet earth; sacrifice greed so every one's needs are also met; do not plunder, do not hoard. Whose property is it after all? It all belongs to God. - Source: Hindu scripture: Ishopanishad 1.1
