Save Yamuna River

Many eco-systems cannot support life without the existence of a healthy watershed maintained by a vibrant river. However, beyond the material benefits that a healthy river provides to humans and other species, there is also a spiritual element associated with rivers, never more prominently exhibited than in the holy rivers of India.

The Yamuna is considered by Hindus to be one of the holiest rivers in the world. The goddess of the river, Yami, is the sister of the Yama, the Lord of death and the daughter of the Sun god Surya.

Many of the supreme Lord Krishna’s earthly pastimes are connected with this holy river, which is the main tributary of the legendary Mother Ganges. Unfortunately, today the holy Yamuna is horribly polluted with raw sewage, industrial chemical contamination, agricultural waste and tons of plastic garbage.

If ever there was a river that cried out for our help, the Yamuna’s desperate plea for compassion would be heard throughout the universe. Help us to Save Yamuna river!
