Under Construction

This site is under construction as of 27th September, 2003. This page is a place-holder, to let you know what's upcoming. Please read on... and come back later!

Purpose and Goal of this site:

To promote discussion and understanding of Earth Ethics on the world platform as they have been and are being taught and carried out through the contributions of India. While the discussion has its basis and origin in Indian philosophical thought and socio-cultural ecological interplay, it is not limited to India, but seeks to assist in the formulation of a universal earth ethos upon which there can be planetary wide consensus. This site serves also as a companion site for the books from Wise Earth Publishers. Earth Ethics.org. is an umbrella organization, dedicated to helping similar minded groups and individuals around the planet to interact and support each other.

Methods:

In order to develop the discussion leading to an earth wide consensus, we propose an in-depth examination of India’s philosophical, practical, socio-cultural and artistic contributions to earth ethical thought and action. Through these various departments the applications of earth ethics to every aspect of life and living are demonstrated and made available for consideration and use:

Earth Ethics – philosophy, using Earth Ethics of M.K. Gandhi and Holy Mother Amma, John Muir, Vandana Shiva and much more.
Lets Get Real – practical applications
Live and let live – animal and forest rights issues
Ask Yamuna – Grandmother’s lore for living on earth, and
Let’s Sing! – musical and artistic offerings that enhance earth ethical awareness.

Earth Ethics!

besides our own books and pamphlets, We offer details of a variety of literature and films to assists in philosophical examination and develop awareness of earth ethical issues..

Let’s Get Real!

Through literature, films and presentations, we present the practical efforts being made today in India to realize earth ethical behavior and actions in many fields of human endeavor: industry, economics, agriculture, village handicraft, the role of women, sanitation and waste-management, personal consumer choices, etc. along with the ways in which we are involved in these efforts. With close links to other groups, we offer information and direct contacts for working in a multitude of arenas of earth ethical concern, from an organic herb farm in Tasmania to educational outreach for farmers in India.

Live and let Live!

through contact and support of Animal rights and protection organizations in India, as well as other groups concerned with conservation, we carry an ethical awareness of the seemingly silent creation around us in our presentations and seminars.

Ask Yamuna!

We offer the earth wise wisdoms of the grandmothers of India, through recipes, how-to’s for health, home, beauty and nutritional influence.

Let Sing!

Includes an offering of our own joyous music that living in the Ashram of Holy Mother Amma has inspired us with. India’s rich artistic and cultural heritage is explored, explained and demonstrated, as relating to present dayearth ethical needs.

To further these ends, on and off of internet, when not involved in research, as activists, we offer ourselves for teaching and discussion. Through seminars and tours, we offer interactive forums, demonstrations, as well as music and artistic offerings.

Who are we?

At this time we are a small international group of people, deeply concerned with the difficulties confronting human societies and cultures, the earth and the care of our children. Some of us are living in the ashram of Holy Mother Amma in rural south India. Others of us are in other communities, fields and endeavors of life. We are: Aunty Kamala, Link, Maria, Karthik, Salim, Yamuna, Catherine and Gwentai.

Dreams:

To create an organization that allows us to give our heart and our best effort to help to humanity in meaningful ways. We see the organization as eventually have its own publishing company, music studio and documentary making capacities.. Later, it could develop into an institute for disseminating ideas and training teachers for earth ethical awareness work, as well as providing workshops for designing and refining projects for environmentally ethical uplift in villages and cities. These would be in the arenas mentioned above.
To have a single NGO site, serving as an NGO cooperative, that maximizes and connects the potentials of many people through out the planet, concerned, intending, and willing to assist in raising the awareness level of our common human family and intrinsic oneness with all creation through responsible means. Through Earth Ethics. Org.in, 100’s of small groups could simultaneously give presentations, demonstrations, seminars in schools, clubs, religious and civic organizations about the issues in their areas locally as well as globally.
Staffed through volunteerism, especially in the initial stages Hopefully being able to employ ourselves and others gainfully and meaningfully.

Site Features:

Forums in each department for interactive discussions, contact and email addresses for each department head, CMS format for easy editing and uploading, Schedules of upcoming events and pubs, diaries of activities as needed, photos, etc.
