Historically humans have inclined to find the mysteries of life on Earth. Evidence left by our ancestors are so intriguing and amazing. As we study these historical evidences it is really astonishing how detailed they were. They recorded them for the future generations to understand the concepts, experience their knowledge, findings and make further progress along their findings. Hopefully we can follow their guidance and move forward in a positive way to obtain the goal of this life on Earth.
Humans have understood from Nano level to incomprehensible size of the universe. That is the vastness of the place we are in. The smallest of smallest is as important as the largest of largest. Every aspect of this is important to understand and one has to remain in the neutral state. That neutral state is what humans have tried to understand historically.
It is as simple as a Neutron in an atom and Positive Charged sub-atomic particles (Protons) that are surrounded by Negative Charged particles (Electrons). Electrons, revolve around the Protons which when interact forms Neutrons (Zero Charge), which creates the stability. This type of constant activity is seen in higher level such as universe (Cosmic dance) with fuzzy stability (Higgs-Boson- some call God's particle). This stability state with constant dance historically was identified as Shiva in Hinduism ( way of life).
Cosmic dance of Shiva
Every unit (smallest to the largest) are in constant motion and simultaneously stable. Ancestors represented this concept of stability of constant dance (energy) by Shiva Lingam. Shiva Lingam are found in different parts of the world and some of them have self existed naturally (Suyambu). They carved thousands of lingams in lingam (like fractals) - SahasraLingam.
(Several videos are available about ancient Lingam in the channel by Praveen Mohan).
They incorporated five elements of life ( Earth, Air, Water, Fire, Space (aether - sky))
Shiva Lingams.
Prithivi Lingam
Earth
Ekambareswarar Temple - Kanchipuram
Jambu Lingam
Water
Jambukeshwarar Temple – Thiruvanaikaval, Trichy
Agni Lingam

Arunachaleswara Temple - Thiruvannamalai
Vayu Lingam
Air
Sri Kalahastheeswara Temple - Kalahasthi
Akasha Lingam
Space
Thillai Nataraja Temple - Chidambaram
Historical Shiva temples of India fall on the same geographical line in map of India:
Some argue that this will not fall into staright line, But Shiva is universal and the view from a higher point - it will fall into a staright line:
Stabilization was the key concept in all these indicators by forefathers. That is the reason they have conferred to be in stable state of mind while one win or lose. They understood the benefits of natural form of stability and gave us in the form of Shiva. They felt the energy from the Shiva Lingam and experienced the meditative stability.
Hence when excavations were done for archeological purposes Shiva Lingams were found in several places of the Globe (Google Search):
For defect less DNA they prayed Shiva to rectify Nagadhosam.
Every part of the Nature were considered part of Shiva. Sacred Mountains were identified as Lord Shiva's Abode.
Mount Kailash
Mount ShivLing
Tiruvannamalai
All these mountains were considered sacred, historically. In a way, the minerals and nutrients flow from these mountains by rainwater and sacred rivers to bring them to land and to make the land fertile for food growth. These mountains are very important in various aspects of Life survival on Earth. Most of the ancient siddhars (500 BCE - 500 CE or 300 BCE or 300 CE - ardent devotees of Shiva) got their ingredients from the mountains (Chaturagiri) and nature.
Diversified Nayanmars (3rd to 8th centuries CE) devoted their life completely to Shiva coming from different backgrounds and professions.
Recently read scientific articles on minerals in the rock surface acting as photoelectric current materials and brain cells are stimulated by electricity. In most of the temples sun rays falls on the Shiva lingam mostly made up of shiny rocks. A rock has energy in several ways. Assuming it's sitting still, a rock may have gravitational potential energy because of gravity pulling on it. It has energy stored in the chemical bonds in the molecules of the rock. Also, if the rock has some charge on it, it could have electrical potential energy if it was in an electric field. Then of course there is the rest energy of the rock. According to relativity(E=mc^2), the rock has some energy just by being massive. The rock has energy stored in many different ways. Rocks containing radioactive materials (e.g. pitchblende) will radiate energy as the radioactive decay. People experienced these meditative electric waves in the temple when sun rays fall on them, it had improved their mental health and well being historically.
During childhood days we used to go Shiva temples in Srivilliputtur and Sankaranainarkoil.
Visited so many other historical Shiva temples over the years:
Great Thanjavur Temple built 1000 years ago By great King Raja Raja Chola
These are great temples and thinking they are standing 1000s of years is amazing as itself. How many people would have come to these places and experienced the divinity. Real truth of life can be experienced in these temples. Followers have written about their experiences. One such epic work is Thiruvasagam written more than 1000 years by Maanikkavaasagar.
Thiruvasagam by Maestro Illayaraja takes you to the upper state:
In Mathematics, there are proofs adding positive numbers infinitely ends up in an negative fraction. From the circle of life at our Mother Earth, Pangaea or Pangea was a supercontinent in our Earth, meaning all the surface lands of the world at one point were one land mass and now they are attracting towards each other slowly and it may become one huge mass again - this is circle of life at a bigger level. Now, even bigger picture is Universe - Stars and Black holes - So many stars are born and are also pulled by black holes and the event is called “ stellar tidal disruption ”.
When we understand this concept in a simpler words "Everything is Nothing" it intrigues people and make them obsessed with these type of topics. After all, from Nothing, Something may happen again - A complete circle. That circle of everything - nothing to everything - smallest to largest - no start and no end - infinite is Shiva - that concept was completely understood historically by our forefathers and was represented by Lingas, by Temples, felt it in sound (Aum), Nature and at Universal (cosmos) level in meditative states.
Some of the Beautiful forests and trees through our camera:
Disney Wilderness Preserve
Ocala National Forest
West Virginia River Gorge Mountain Forests
Western Ghats, India
Top Slip, India
Sequoia Tree Forests - Mariposa Grove
As these forests are in danger of forest fires, pollution, deforestation we must focus on Saving these wonderful forests and sustain them for sustainability and survival of current and future Inhabitants.
It is shame and sad that people throw plastic, glass bottles and garbage in these areas (Pictures from Volunteers):
Thanks to these great volunteers who are selfless in doing this hard manual labor (rain or shine) to collect these spewed garbage in the forest areas.
A great salute and appreciation to them. Other great volunteers have created forests:
"Tata Group is an Indian multinational conglomerate headquartered in Mumbai. Founded in 1868 by Jamshedji Tata, the group gained international recognition after purchasing several global companies. It is one of the biggest and oldest industrial groups in India. Each Tata company operates independently under the guidance and supervision of its own board of directors and shareholders.
Significant Tata affiliates include Air India, Tata Chemicals, Tata Communications, Tata Consultancy Services, Tata Consumer Products, Tata Elxsi, Tata Motors, Tata Power, Tata Steel, Jamshedpur FC, Tanishq, Voltas, Tata Cliq, Tata Projects Limited, Tata Capital, Titan, Trent, Indian Hotels Company Limited, TajAir, Cromā, andTata Starbucks etc."
Environment:
What TATA website says about the climate change:
"Climate change has been a growing concern within the Tata group for several years. The climate change movement began at the annual Tata Business Excellence Convention in December 2007 where Mr. Ratan Tata, the then Chairman of Tata group, suggested that Tata companies should play a more responsible role in mitigating the impact of climate change."
"Valparai Estate is one of Tata Coffee's largest coffee estates and is located in a massive 1200 hectares on the Valparai Plateau in the Anamallais. Valparai Lemonica is a carefully handpicked coffee, sprinkled with Lemon Grass stalk during drying to give it that unforgettable taste."
*Coming from Pollachi - Mahalingapuram area we grew up eating at Shri N. Mahalingam - TATA - Benz canteen. The wonderful taste and quality of Parottas and Kuruma - still lingering in minds,
*Having Tea and coffee with friends amidst tea estates, flowing waterfalls and serene environments during Valparai trips from Pollachi, were best times of life,
and with these affinities to TATA (Environment, Information Technology, Food, Coffee and Tea, we at EnviroApps and EAFARMS always wanted to use their quality products for our projects.
We always appreciate Tata's vision for bringing an affordable car which is a far better safety option for the families travelling in two wheelers without much protection - The TATA NANO car:
Our vehicles for our projects were always from TATA:
Our vehicle - TATA Indica,we used for Ecotours in Pollachi area:
Message - SAVE WILDLIFE
Our Vehicle - TATA Indigo - first used for Ecotours and then for EAFARMS farm activities:
Our future vehicles will be electric vehicles from TATA. We will continue to use TATA products for our projects as we explore Information Technology and Environment. We support TATA as he is pride of India, love his patriotism, philanthropy, contributions and follow him as one of our greatest gurus.
TATA's contribution to India's young generations towards education:
Recently, during the unwanted war crisis in Ukraine, TATA's Air India was sent to pick Indian citizens, who were stranded in that part of the World. We are in year 2022 and after Covid disaster, why would human beings need a war. Leaders and humans still did not learn. Praying for the peace. Let us stand united together as one human race and together protect our Mother Earth instead of fighting each other. We have far more better things to do as human beings.
As we celebrate Earth Day 2021, we have to take more steps towards preserving sustainable quality Earth and leave behind a better place for the Future Inhabitants. We should be very careful in every step we take forward to protect what we have in every discipline. There are better alternatives which are more environmental friendly, sustainable than destructive historical methodologies we use. Young scientists have developed so many innovative concepts which does not affect the Earth, works with Nature and preserves it's quality for the current and future inhabitants. This habit should start from every individual with the thought that their deed will not affect the environment in any way. We have to conserve resources and move forward from non-renewable resources as much as one can. We have to start taking steps towards these goals.
It was an enormous loss of a great Environmentalist during this Earth Day Month -
PadmaShri Dr. Vivek ( Actor)
who had ardently followed our great leader Dr. Kalam to plant 33 Lakh Trees and maintained them with a goal of planting 1 crore trees. Big Salute to him.
have done so much in creating better environments,
We are following them and working towards that goal of planting one crore trees following them. We strongly motivate and stand behind the volunteers for Greening the Environment. Simultaneously, we want to eradicate Hunger and Poverty from the face of Earth.
Wherever you are, please join us in our goals and contribute towards BETTER EARTH, QUALITY EARTH and SUSTAINABLE EARTH for current and future Inhabitants. Let us take that pledge on this EARTH DAY 2021.
