Green Rameswaram Newsletter Oct 2019

This year we are celebrating the 550th birth anniversary of Guru Nanak Dev Ji on 12th November. Guru Nanak Jayanti, or as it is commonly called, Guru Nanak Gurpurab, is a Sikh festival which is celebrated with a lot of fervour and excitement in many parts of India and the world by Sikh and Punjabi communities in particular and Indians in general.

Guru Nanak Dev Ji has spoken a lot about environment and interconnectedness of man, animal and nature. Eco-Sikh movement is the outcome of his philosophy and perhaps Sikh community was the first to start eco-pilgrimage network. We the workers of Green Rameswaram project also received the inspiration for starting our work on “Green Resilient Rameswaram” from this network.
