Avoid global warming
यः शम्बरं पर्वतेषु क्षियन्तं चत्वारिंश्यां शरद्यन्वविन्दत् ।
ओजायमानं यो अहिं जघान दानुं शयानं स जनास इन्द्रः ॥
Yah shambaram parvateṡhu kshiyantam
chatvaarishyaam sharadhanva-vindat.
Ojaayamaanam yo ahim jadhaana
daanum shayaan sa janaasa indrah.
Rig Veda 2.12.11
The glaciers take numerous years to build up, snaking its presence in the mountains where it stays unmoving and winding liberally through the valleys. These provide vital power to life and should not be destroyed or damaged. The build up of glaciers and their usefulness is by God’s Grace.
Note: shambaran refers to glaciers that lay serpent-like on the mountain valley. They move slowly toward the ocean, melts and continues the cycle. The reference of indra is the sun’s heat/light that causes melting (destroying the glacier that has taken ages to build up).
