They ignore the fact that they are ruining wildlife and one of Nature\u2019s most amazing gifts. They pour oil and other junk in rivers and lakes carelessly. Then of course there are those, who would do anything to save rivers. Even if it means giving them a \u2018human status\u2019.<\/p>\n
In India, the fight against water pollution has been going on for decades. Clean drinking water is essential for people\u2019s survival, and yet is a rare treasure. Rivers for Hindus mean way more than just a means of survival. For them, rivers are sacred, and are personified as goddesses, giving people \u2018physical and spiritual sustenance\u2019. These rivers are in danger. Unless the fight gains a boost somehow.<\/p>\n
Alas, on Monday, a court in Uttarakhand in Himalaya declared the Yamuna and Ganges rivers \u2018living entities\u2019. According to the court, “extraordinary measures to be taken to preserve and conserve the Rivers Ganga and Yamuna\u201d.<\/p>\n
However, some argue that this might not have been the best decision. A simple change of rights might not be enough ensure the rivers\u2019 future. Governments can\u2019t clean the rivers themselves. They probably won\u2019t be able to stop pollution entirely. Unless they assign \u2018legal guardians\u2019 to the rivers, just like New Zealand did a week before. Still, people\u2019s help is needed to accomplish the ultimate goal of these \u2018rights\u2019.<\/p>\n
The World as we know it is definitely changing. People are more open-minded than before. Hindus have believed for centuries that rivers are goddesses, so this shouldn\u2019t come as a surprise. Will it be enough to save the rivers? Let\u2019s consult the cards.<\/p>\n
Eight of Pentacles: <\/b>
\nThis is a time of learning, of figuring out what works and what doesn\u2019t. We are at the beginning of this journey, and we have a lot to experience. Only time will tell whether we become \u2018masters\u2019 and save the rivers this way.<\/p>\n
Eight of Wands:<\/b> A focused energy is surrounding this card, one that brings swift change. The Government certainly think their decision will bring rapid development. It just might do that.<\/p>\n
The Fool: <\/b>
\nThis card suggests that although the decision was made, its consequences weren\u2019t considered. People took a leap of faith, unaware of any dangers along the way. Coming back to the Eight of Pentacles, there is still a lot to learn.<\/p>\n
