Excerpt From the Shri Rhudram

Salutations to You,
who are in roaring waves as well as in still waters . . .
Salutations to You, who take birth from the loins of animals
and from the roots of trees . . .
Salutations to You, who exist in green fields and farm yards . . .
Salutations to You, who are present in sound and also in its echo . . .
Salutations to You, who are present in canal waters
and in the torrents of waterfalls . . .
Salutations to You, who are present in clouds as well as in lightning.
Salutations to You, who are present in the clear autumnal sky
and also in rain along with sunshine.
Salutations to You, who are present in the monsoon wind
and also in the form of hailstorms . . .
Salutations to You, who are present in the crimson rays of the setting sun
and also in the muted rays of the newly risen sun . . .
Salutations to You who bestow bliss and protect all creatures . . .
Salutations to You,
who are present in the tender grass on the banks of the river
and also in the foam of the river . . .
Salutations to You, who are present in jungles full of thorns and stones
and also in caves.
Salutations to You, who are present in deep whirlpools and dewdrops.
Salutations to You, who are present in atoms and dust.
Salutations to You, who are present in rocky terrain and also in meadows.
Salutations to You, who are present in the vast earth . . .
Salutations to You, who are present in fresh leaves
and also in dry leaves. . . .
Let there be salutations
to that Lord Rudra, who is fire, water, plants, and creepers,
and who pervades the entire cosmos.

From the Shri Rudram, A Vedic Prayer to Lord Rudra (Shiva), Part of the Krishna Yajur Veda

Your support is vital

We have been busy planting trees, researching yoga mats, highlighting green practices, and networking the community together. And, we have seen a devestating oil spill, inaction on climate change, and corporate attempts to greenwash plastic.

As the ecological crisis grows, yoga practice becomes an essential tool in managing our human response.

Through our practice we maintain connection so that we can take effective action.

Please support our efforts now.
