Guru Har Rai was a nature lover and he instilled a vision among his followers to care for and to live in harmony with nature and other living beings.
The story of love with nature began when Guru Har Rai as a young boy accidentally battered a flower in his garden with his gown. He was deeply hurt at this incident and never plucked any flower or leaf in his whole life instead he became an intense lover and preserver of nature. He began a medicinal herb garden known as called Naulakha Baagh.
Sikhs around the world would be taking pledge to protect the environment and follow the principle of “Pawan Guru, Pani Pita, Mata Dharat Mahat” as enshrined in Gurbani aiming to create awareness about nature conservation. Guru Har Rai is remembered in Sikh history for his deep sensitivity to nature and its preservation.
He was a great humanitarian who inspired Sikhs to preserve nature and promote the well-being of animals.
“It’s our moral duty to protect mother nature from the pollutants and not to let anyone plunder the natural resources, besides we should teach others to do the same,” said Baba Sewa Singh Karsewawale and an environmentalist. He said every Sikh should take the initiative to keep surroundings clean and green.
