| In this urgent and noble program,
IHRF –
with the cooperation of Parmarth
Niketan, Rishikesh pledges to clean
up the holy banks of our Mother Ganga. Although we worship Her as
mother, we throw our trash in her waters and on her ghats. We pollute
the pathways running beside her current. Additionally, the market
place and roads of Swargashram, which literally means, "heavenly
abode" have become filled with plastic bags and other rubbish.
In order to immediately remedy this situation and restore Mother Ganga to her rightful state of sublime beauty, we have instituted a "Clean, Green and Serene" program with the cooperation of Parmarth Niketan Ashram (the largest institution in Rishikesh, of which Pujya Swami Chidanand Saraswatiji is the President). Twice a day, trash is removed from the ghats, from the market place and from the banks and taken to a dumping site. For this purpose, we have purchased a special tractor/tempo with garbage trolley to transport all the rubbish from the entire Swargashram area to a dumping site. At the dumping site, Polythene bags and other "recyclables" will be separated from other rubbish. In order to maintain the cleanliness and
to involve all those who inhabit the area in this program, we have
also purchased 25 large trash bins to be placed up and down the
market and along the banks of Ganga. In this way, we can keep Her
holy banks clean and divine.
