Not oil. Not coal. Not tech. The true power beneath our feet is soil. It grows our food, stores our water, balances our climate.
And it’s dying.
My Puran Poli!! 😢

2.The Numbers Don’t Lie
•Over 33% of the world’s soils are degraded.
•India loses 5.3 billion tonnes of soil annually.
•It takes 500 years to build 2 cm of topsoil.
How long will we ignore this slow death?

3.Without Soil, There Is No Bharat, No World
Our civilization thrived because of fertile rivers and lands. The very word ‘Dharitri’ (धरित्री) signifies the Earth as the bearer. Can we survive if the bearer is barren?

4.Sanatana Dharma: The Soil Culture
In Vedic traditions, the Earth is worshipped as ‘Bhoomi Devi’. We say:
“Samudra vasane devi, parvata sthana mandale…”
asking forgiveness before we step on soil. Not superstition—deep ecological reverence.

5.Ancient Wisdom, Modern Crisis
In Vidura Niti, it is said: “One who destroys Earth is destroyed by it.”
Sanatana Dharma didn’t need carbon metrics to know that soil is sacred.

6.What’s Gone Wrong?
Industrial agriculture. Pesticides. Monoculture. Concrete jungles. Economic models that prioritize profit over planet. We are living the consequences of disconnect.

7.Dattopant Thengadi’s ‘Third Way’
He warned: don’t blindly chase Western models. Return to Swadeshi principles that respect nature, soil, and self-reliance. The soil sustains us, not stock markets

8.What Can We Do?
•Cover crops, not bare soil.
•Compost, not chemicals.
•Local food, not shipped goods.
•Protect native seeds and farmers.
Healthy soil = healthy food = healthy body.

9.Not Just Policy. Dharma.
Soil care isn’t just policy. It is Dharma.
@SadhguruJV rode from UK to Bharat to create awareness and shared a draft of a Soil Policy with all the world leaders. We need to align with ecological dharma—where decisions nurture not exploit, regenerate not extract

10.Enough Is Enough
As Rob Dietz wrote: economic growth at the cost of soil is suicidal. “Enough” means balancing needs, not greed. The Earth gives—only when we don’t take too much
