    About this ebook

    Geo Spirit is about everything that one strives for the harmony and well-being of one’s inner space and the outer space on this Earth.

    Geo Spirit is the consciousness on earth. “Geo Spirit” consists of two realms - “Geo” is the Earth, including biotic and abiotic worlds and “Spirit” is the consciousness of peace, freedom and harmony for oneself and everything else on this earth. Geo Spirit is the ever pervading consciousness on the earth at all levels, including the sub-atomic level.

    The human beings are the single species disharmonizing the earth. Geo Spirit is for understanding and getting connected to the earth. Geo Spirit ultimately aims at the oneness of the earth integrating and harmonizing the diversities. Consistent earth leadership is needed, to understand and participate in these processes for positive change. One should be sensitive and should be the means and cause of earth resources sustainability.

    Spirit manifests in oneness and freedom. Earth is a single living thing; in which we are also a part. Geo Spirit helps to understand why the earth has provided us everything to celebrate another day. One should also strive and question, why I am born on this earth? If I am living, what is the difference I can make? If there is no positive change that one is causing, then there is not much meaning to one’s life. That is the spirit of living.

    Through Geo Spirit, one’s awareness, sensitivity, knowledge, understanding, actions, and spirit become relevant to the harmony and well-being on earth and the infinite space. Through the "Geo Spirit," one could realize the possibility of becoming an "Earth Leader.". Each individual is an earth leader, when one is able to unleash their potential to bring the positive change on this earth. Ultimately, whatever one does, it is important to get connected to the earth.

      Geo Spirit for Environment and Earth Leadership - Sai Bhaskar Reddy Nakka

      Ancient Greeks have named this planet as Gaia, meaning a revered living planet. Ancient Indian thinkers have visualized the planet as Bhoodevi (Goddess Earth). Traditionally, people have lived in a symbiotic relationship with their background ecosystems. In India, people were keen observers of nature and they had always organised their lives respecting the limits of nature. They were world leaders in understanding the value of biodiversity and have given Ayurveda to the World. They were keen observers of stars and planets in the sky and developed the science of astronomy.

      This sustainable scenario radically changed in the post industrial revolution era. Europe and North America which witnessed early industrialization felt the need for continuous, uninterrupted supply of natural resources and hence they embarked upon colonizing major countries of the world. These colonies were also intended to be markets to dump their finished products. As a result, the industrialized countries during the last two centuries started viewing nature as a commodity to be exploited and their perception was that nature was there for them to conquer and exploit. This attitude resulted in depletion of natural resources and increase of pollution. The countries which became de-colonized post World War II have also pursued the prevailing model of development of northern countries.

      The book Silent Spring written by Ms. Rachel Carson unfolded the environment degradation and questioned the attempt of nations to pursue growth without properly assessing its environmental impact. United Nations inspired by this book convened its first conference on human environment in 1972, Stockholm. This conference succeeded in sensitizing the nations of the world. Post Stockholm, environment as a subject was very much prioritized by several universities in Europe and USA. UN appointed World Commission on Environment and Development (WCED), 1983, reviewed the emerging research articles, literature and summarized the global environmental crisis as follows: Depletion of ozone layer, Global warming resulting in climate change, Loss of biodiversity, Desertification and Nuclear Threat. WCED further cautioned the world regarding its mad race for development and emphasized that development should be sustainable. United Nations efforts in arresting the depletion of ozone layer in trying to address the issues of global warming, climate change and loss of biodiversity are laudable. Today the nations of the world have Sustainable Development Goals as their agenda and the whole planet Earth is on a green path to growth. We require millions of people equipped with empathy and proper understanding of the Earth, its limitations and its opportunities in order to give the much needed healing touch to the Earth.

      Dr. N. Sai Bhaskar Reddy in his book Geo Spirit - For Environment & Earth Leadership, visualizes the Earth as a living organism and tries to explain the intricate relationships between various biotic and abiotic worlds. Stresses, the truth that the earth is the only space we have. The book focuses on the need to understand the Earth and its varied ecosystems. The author presents a holistic approach with a view to train ‘Earth Leaders’ and equip them with ‘eco-philosophy’, which includes their eco-friendly being.

      I have known Dr. N. Sai Bhaskar Reddy, for over two decades as an environmental crusader. His earlier book Understanding Stoves unveils low-cost energy efficient stoves for reducing the hardships of people while cooking with biomass stoves. In his book Biocharculture, he promotes low-cost technologies which enable carbon sequestration and rejuvenate soils for improving the livelihoods of farmers. He has established a lyceum for conducting Geo Spirit training programs for aspiring earth leaders. For dissemination of his designs, innovations and technologies, he has declared all his works as Open Knowledge. This book will be a useful resource for all of us in our long march towards sustainable development.
