IJENAS &
A Climate Reality Leader
Dear Readers,
It is a proud moment to share with you all that a special issue ‘VASUNDHARA’ is
published this autumn. This is the festive season which again reminds us the
deep bondage between our beliefs, culture, festivals, and traditions with sense of
journey and efforts
rts to raise ourselves, to save, and to nourish ourselves - the
Human Beings.
It was always in our mind since the inception of IJENAS to publish something
which is not purely scientific and be in a language which we all can understand
and appreciate and find out our relationships with nature. VASUNDHARA is a
step towards this. We are overwhelmed and would like to thank the authors who
contributed for this first issue of VASUNDHARA. You would be glad to know that
our first issue covers variety of topics starting
arting from poetry, prose, comments,
stories etc. From now onwards we would try to bring the regular issues of
VASUNDHARA which will be in a magazine form.
Being a Climate Leader, this issue also highlights our concern on the changing
climate on earth and its effects. In 2006, Nobel Laureate and former US Vice
President Al Gore got the world talking about climate change with the Academy
Award-winning
winning film An Inconvenient Truth. It was just the beginning of a climate
revolution, and later that year, he founded
ounded The Climate Reality Project to take the
conversation forward and turn awareness into action.
The Climate Reality Project is a diverse group of passionate individuals who have
come have come together to help solve the greatest challenge of our time. We are
cultural leaders, marketers, organizers, scientists, storytellers and more, and we
are committed to building a better future together.
With regards,
Dr. Pulak Das
