Transcript
00:26We have
00:29two more people here who will
00:31make up for it, more than make up
00:33for it.
00:35It was important to me that
00:37this journey of safe soil is not
00:39just something that was experienced by
00:41just the people who had the
00:43fortune of travelling with Sadhguru.
00:46Because when he announced
00:47the journey and when he said that
00:49he was going to do this motorcycle ride,
00:51I don't think any of us
00:53really understood the scale at which
00:55he was planning the impact.
00:58So it was
00:59only as the journey and like he
01:01said 13-14 days later like
01:03cicadas we all slowly opened
01:05our eyes. But it's just that
01:07as much as he talked about it,
01:09we had never imagined something at this scale.
01:11We had also not really
01:13understood as much
01:15as we've been part of the foundation, as much as
01:18transformation happens
01:19from person to person, we meet them on a daily
01:21basis when they come for the programs or they visit
01:23the ashram. We had not really
01:25understood
01:27how to look at individuals as individuals
01:29and that you can convince each
01:31individual to make a change in their lives
01:33or make a choice in their lives that will have
01:35impact not just for the people around them
01:37but for many generations to follow.
01:44people from all walks of life, all different kinds of social situations and backgrounds
01:50and their passion for this, their involvement with these events, the enthusiasm with which
01:57they kind of took it on and made it
01:59their own movement, I thought
02:01was something that needed to be captured
02:03it was something that
02:04and after the Save Soil journey, anybody
02:07that I met, the only
02:09conversation would be about, you know when this
02:11happened and then we were in this place and then
02:13that Akka said this and then you know
02:15somebody spoke to somebody who told somebody
02:18else and their mother came for the event
02:19and they spoke to some business contact
02:21who spoke to somebody else and they
02:23so it was such a like a
02:25network of memories
02:27and every time we met people
02:29this is what we constantly talked about
02:31every time I met somebody
02:33even if it was the same people
02:34they had newer and newer stories to share
02:38so it became almost like a
02:41yeah it almost became
02:43almost like a school nostalgia
02:44like when you go back and you meet your school friends
02:46and you still talk about you know
02:48in sixth standard this person did this
02:49and in seventh standard that person did that
02:51it was like a much more
02:53amped up version of that
02:54because it was a few thousand people who shared this memory
02:57so we interviewed close to a hundred people
03:01and you'll see how
03:04can I have the book please
03:09so we interviewed close to a hundred people
03:12and then we had to go back and start
03:16then we had to go back and start
03:18culling certain interviews and certain sharings
03:22because there was just too many and you can see that it's already quite a fat book
03:27and then we had to go back and cut back on a lot of people and their sharing
03:31in fact I think even Ramanna and Shilpaka
03:34so many people participated in the movement
03:37outside of the actual journey
03:39people who spoke to their family
03:41people who spoke in their schools
03:43we had children who you know convince their classmates to write letters to their local minister
03:48and then we had school teachers who got their entire school to write letters to the prime minister
03:54not just in India but across the world in various countries
03:57and when those ministers received not one or two or hundred but a few thousand letters from school children
04:04and individuals speaking to just the people in their society
04:08you know like people would get their building society together
04:12and when they had a meeting they would talk about save soil
04:14it became something that everybody felt belonged to them
04:19and I think that's a very unique way in which Sadhguru includes people into whatever he would
04:26you know whatever he thinks needs action
04:29it's not like I have a plan and I'm going to do it
04:32it's very much about how each individual person makes it a part of their own life
04:38and how they are able to convince one person, two people, hundred people, a thousand people
04:43depending on the level of influence that they have
04:46so this book is a series of sharings
04:50it's about 86 people
04:51finally we kind of had to pull some people out
04:54because it just became too big
04:56so we have about 86 different perspectives on how the journey started
05:01and where we went and what all we had to do
05:03and I think even watching this video
05:07it brings back such intense memories of what that journey was like
05:15so the book is written also from different people's perspective
05:18it must be very clear that it says compiled by Radi Jaggi
05:21not written by Radi Jaggi
05:22because we had a group of about five, six authors who sat together and interviewed everybody
05:28but many people's writings is in their own words
05:31so we interviewed them, we transcribed their experiences
05:34and then we wrote it in their own words
05:38so you get completely different perspectives
05:42you get completely different language
05:44you get different levels of enthusiasm
05:46different levels of humour
05:49different levels of some slightly painful memories also
05:54and I think it's been a labour of love
05:58it's taken us about two, two and a half years to put the book together
06:02first it was about getting everybody to share
06:05and many people were like
06:06oh it happened two years ago
06:07how do we start
06:08but the minute you start talking to them
06:11they can't stop
06:12it's just their memories and their sharing of all the events
06:16what they witnessed
06:17how people stepped up
06:18different kinds of people stepped up
06:20and did such really incredible things
06:24like for example
06:25and I don't know if you all have heard this already
06:28but for example
06:29when Sadhguru was in Jordan in Wadiram
06:31the clutch plate of the motorcycle had completely worn out
06:34and in the middle of a desert
06:37where do you go to replace a clutch plate
06:39but just talking to people along the way
06:42there was some
06:43there was a nomadic family who lived in a tent
06:46they saw Kannan waiting outside
06:48for someone to come and pick up the motorcycle
06:50so that man you know welcomed him inside the tent
06:52what are you doing here in the middle of the night
06:54he's talking about safe soil
06:56you know we're here
06:57Sadhguru's here
06:57this is what we want to do
06:58government policy has to change
07:00this is how it can impact the future
07:01your children won't be able to eat
07:03and you must also talk about it
07:05he said come inside
07:06meet my wife
07:07he made tea at three o'clock in the morning
07:09and gave it to him
07:11then from Kuwait and from Bahrain
07:13we were calling people to see if they can get the clutch plate
07:17and they brought it
07:17the owner of the showroom wakes up his mechanic at 4.30 in the morning
07:21and says 5.30 you have to be there
07:23you have to fix it and get it back
07:25somehow by 10 o'clock 10.30 we have the motorcycle back
07:29so that the journey can continue
07:30none of these people are people who have heard of Sadhguru before
07:34none of these people are people who have been involved with Isha before
07:37it is purely the message
07:41and a little bit of the madness behind the message
07:44in which they're all so moved that they feel that
07:48whatever little bit we can do to support this we must do
07:53one of the days in Austria the drone
07:56they wanted to get a long shot of Sadhguru on the motorcycle with all the mountains in the background
08:00and so they flew the drone really far
08:03it lost connection with the remote and it crashed into the side of the mountain
08:07we had only two drones we really needed that drone back
08:10so somebody's brother's somebody's somebody
08:15she treks in the mountain she said I will get you the drone
08:18so for about a day a day and a half
08:20she just hiked up the mountain looking approximately where we lost the drone
08:26she searched for it she found it and she shipped it to the next place
08:30just out of her own volition willing to you know go to this kind of extreme to make sure that
08:36the journey continues
08:37so there are many many sharings like this
08:40it was also incredible to watch the relentless commitment of Sadhguru
08:47I think when we came to Andhra Pradesh Shaila Jaka had organized a lot of press interviews that had happened
08:54and what we did was we set up interview setups in two different rooms
08:59and he had about eight to twelve interviews that day
09:03so he would go into this room and he would talk about Save Soil
09:06he would talk about the message
09:08he would talk about why it was really needed and what it was
09:11then he would go to the next room
09:13and he would the same message with the same involvement and the same enthusiasm he would talk
09:19the journalist would ask the same question
09:21because for them it's a new channel it's a new magazine that they are writing for
09:25they have not been in the previous interview
09:27so he talks with the same interview
09:29I mean with the same intensity and enthusiasm
09:31while the other room is being set up for the new camera and the new thing
09:35so like this ten to twelve interviews he just swapped rooms
09:39we went here spoke to this person okay this is done
09:41okay next room speak to that person next room
09:44all of us as volunteers all the journalists everybody you know the hotel staff are asking
09:49would you like tea would you like water would you like this
09:51but he doesn't get a minute because they have only that much time
09:55and then he has to move to the next place
09:59so how he connects with each individual no matter who they are where they are from
10:05talking about the soil policy talking about the need for this change to happen
10:11in a way that they will understand whoever that person is in front of them
10:16impressing upon them the importance of this in a way that is relevant for them
10:21so if it's a younger person a younger person
10:24if it's an older person giving examples that are suitable for them
10:27if it was a school child giving examples to them
10:30and all the while being on the journey
10:34it was really incredible to be a part of it
10:39still to this day I cannot believe that it was something that has happened
10:43even though I was there physically to see it
10:46and this is something that I felt everybody must experience
10:50you must experience the madness that we experienced
10:52the panic of not having the hall ready
10:56and Sadhguru is 5 minutes away
10:58and the audience is waiting outside
11:00and we have not opened the doors yet
11:01because we have not been able to set up the chair
11:03or the panic of not able to get the venue
11:08because some one officer is refusing to allow us
11:12and then all of us sitting there talking to him
11:15telling him you know this is the thing
11:16this is why it's important
11:18this is what we are trying to talk about
11:20convincing him so that he becomes so involved in the movement
11:23that he has no choice but to give us the space
11:26and it was not just large venues
11:28it was also just like in a public park
11:31if there were 20 people he would stop and he would speak to them
11:34if it was an event with a few thousand people
11:36like finally by the time we got to Dubai
11:38we had I think almost 10 to 12 thousand people in that auditorium
11:42and unfortunately the leader of Abu Dhabi had passed away
11:48in just a few days before that
11:50so the tone of the event everything
11:53because the whole country wasn't mourning
11:54it was important to recognize that
11:57and so all the officials were involved in that period of mourning
12:01so then our delay our event was delayed by almost an hour and half or two hours
12:08but 10 thousand people just sat in the hall for two hours
12:13there is no entertainment nothing because everybody is in mourning
12:16so there is no music playing
12:18there is no nobody standing on stage keeping these people's attention
12:22but 10 thousand people just sat waiting for two hours until the time was appropriate
12:28and then finally I think you saw
12:32you saw
12:33Sheikh Nahyan saying my brother Sadhguru
12:35so you know until he was able to finish whatever he had to do and come
12:38and then Sadhguru was there on stage
12:41actually the book opens with the chaos of the Dubai event
12:45because for those of us who are dealing with media and dealing with PR
12:48we just you know we had our heads turned around
12:53and then it starts from London
12:54so if you go through the book
12:56you kind of travel along with us on the journey
12:59you go through all the ups and downs
13:02hopefully you experience also the freezing cold that Sadhguru experienced
13:06and the crazy heat of the desert that he experienced
13:09but it is spoken in the voice of volunteers
13:12it is how Magambiri managed the logistics of it
13:16how do you transport all these people who want to volunteer
13:19and then individual volunteers in local places
13:22how they spoke in schools and colleges and got everybody enthusiastic
13:26so they wanted to come for the event
13:29convincing you know musicians and actors to lend their voice to this movement
13:34because if they do it the impact it has is so much more
13:37so these are not we are all just a bunch of idiots who really don't know how
13:43we don't have any professional training in anything
13:45but just moved by one man's intensity
13:50one man's passion for this
13:53more than that one man's compassion for everybody around him
13:58we did as much as we could to support that journey
14:01and this book is a series of sharings of all the people who participated
14:07actually not all the people
14:09as many people as we could include in the book
14:11all of their sharings
14:12what is incredible is that once the save soil movement was over
14:17from then so many people have been inspired
14:21and have gone on to do incredible things
14:24there was a woman Natalie from France
14:27who cycled from Paris to India
14:30and she made it for Mahashivratri at that time
14:34Sahil is another boy who cycled from the north of India all the way to Coimbatore
14:38I don't know this person's name but there is somebody in Andhra Pradesh
14:41there is a very young boy in Andhra Pradesh who walked barefoot
14:44for a certain number of kilometers to raise awareness
14:48and then people like Ramanna, Shilpaka are singing songs
14:52and talking to people about it
14:54because the kind of following that they have
14:56the people that they can influence and impact being that much more
15:00and also being touched
15:02and feeling the need to express that creatively
15:06and having other people be moved by their music
15:09so that they are also able to be a part of this
15:14it was so, it was like reliving that experience
15:18every time we went back to the editing room
15:20and we read all these people's sharings
15:23it's still when I think about it
15:25it brings tears to my eyes
15:26because people really, people made it happen
15:30Sadhguru is the inspiration
15:32and he is a lone man who no matter what he puts his mind to
15:35he will achieve
15:36but people who did not understand that they had the capacity for change
15:42they were able to step up and really give their lives to this
15:46you must, you must read it from their perspective
15:49you must understand what it takes for like a random school teacher to step up
15:54and you know do this
15:55or for like a housewife to say
15:57I am going to go on social media and talk about you know save soil
16:00there were many people who said Sadhguru I don't have any followers
16:03only my school friends 50 people are following me on Instagram
16:06but those 50 people are important to influence
16:09and so they also you know talking on their little channels
16:13saying you know Sadhguru spoke about this and this is what it means
16:16when I feed, when you know when I was eating as a young woman
16:19what I ate, the quality of food that I ate
16:22versus what I am able to feed my children
16:24the quality of food that they are eating
16:26it has changed so much, the taste has changed
16:28my grandmother knew this
16:29and I am not able to pass it on to my children
16:32so it moved people on various levels
16:39yeah so you must read the book
16:42that's me mostly it
16:44I think if you would like to share the impact that the journey had on you
16:47and how it inspired you to talk to people
16:49can I ask you one question Rade
16:51is there a format in which you compiled it
16:53because I see there are some boxes in the book
16:58can you tell us to how you compile the book together
17:01so it was important to me that the book be read by not just people who are avid readers
17:07there are many people I know who say oh I don't read books
17:10so the book is for you also
17:12it's been curated in such a way that if you flip to a random page
17:17you can just read that person's sharing in that event at that moment what they felt
17:22so it's not if you can read the book from the beginning to the end
17:26then you will travel on the whole journey with us
17:29but if you don't have the time or if you don't have the inclination to read the whole book
17:34you can just open a random page and get one person's perspective
17:38one person's story, one incident that they were so impacted by
17:43and you can go through it over a period of time
17:46it's full of incredible photographs
17:48I think maybe photographs that people have not seen
17:52and also we have a few factoid boxes there
17:55so if you don't know anything about the safe soil movement
17:58if you don't know what the dire situation of the soil is right now
18:03there is enough information there that you can read up about it
18:06and be a little bit more informed
18:08everything has been taken from published papers
18:11the UN has quoted many of these facts
18:13and many of it is research that we have done
18:15we have a little bit of information also about soil policy
18:19and what our policy recommendations are
18:21but mostly it's about the journey
18:24and how people like you and me stepped up
18:26and tried to do something
18:28whatever little way we could do it
18:31Namaskaram to everyone
18:34when I watched the AV today
18:37again it took me back to 2022
18:39and it was all nostalgic
18:42and I was staring sitting up there
18:46because the intensity with which we all felt
18:50about soil still continues
18:53and this was only just a reminder
18:55and took us back there
18:57I will try to speak in Telugu as much as I can
19:00but I might keep going back to English
19:03so first, Sadhguru facts
19:05what I want to say is
19:07that in 40-60 years
19:09there is an agriculture harvest
19:11at this rate
19:13if you are not even giving focus to soil
19:26we are waiting for a disaster to unfold
19:43and it is so intense
19:46and it is so intense
19:47and the fact that the disaster is
19:47what is there
19:48is this disaster
19:49that is not the disaster
19:49as we work on the market
19:53so I am not talking about it
19:56and the figures and facts
19:58and I will bring up the figures and facts
19:59and it was quite shocking
20:01because food scarcity
20:04In the world, like eight, almost seven-point-plus billion people
20:11of equalistic food scarcity,
20:13Sadhguru said the intent is,
20:15civil behavior, I am.
20:17Humanity is going to be a good thing.
20:19We will go into survival mode.
20:22Riots might occur, and we might even not think of killing each other.
20:27Suddenly, recently, a few days back,
20:31LPG gas was thugged.
20:33In the Anagane, there was a panic.
20:36And fuel also, people were filling their, you know,
20:39petrol cars, diesel, they were paying more and just stocking up.
20:43So just imagine, two, three days, LPG gas ledhu,
20:49fuel it Anagane, so much panic happened.
20:52Just imagine if there is food scarcity.
20:56So that hit me really hard.
20:58But this moment is not just about facts and numbers.
21:02It is about the spirit behind the moment and the cause.
21:08And, you know, it might have started like one man's, you know, journey.
21:12But by the end of it, it became people's journey.
21:17Rade shared so many stories.
21:24In their own way, how they helped the movement or the journey.
21:28Anagane, I had a big drop in the ocean, in the million drops.
21:34Kani, whatever I did was just a, you know, small drop in the ocean.
21:39But still, I will share what I felt and how I felt for the cause.
21:44So, first, I started talking to people.
21:47What do you love for anybody, wherever you went to any more time,
21:49I started talking to people's show, the same.
21:53And I went through numbers, facts and whatever this happened in the ocean.
21:56My school, I ran a school and I started talking to teachers at the school through the school.
22:02So, my parents started talking to.
22:03every social media post

22:06I have a few celebrity
22:11friends, influencers
22:12they were clueless
22:15like how I was clueless
22:17in the beginning
22:18they were absolutely clueless
22:21interviews these
22:22and Sadhguru Hyderabad
22:24my dear friend Samantha
22:27also got awareness
22:28about how big this
22:30whole movement and
22:32how important it is
22:33so she agreed to have a conversation
22:36with Sadhguru when he was here
22:38in Hyderabad
22:39by the time he reached Hyderabad
22:40and that also had a huge impact
22:48so Sadhguru

23:01It can reach people's heart
23:03Music can move and can
23:05You know, one of the things that can be done
23:07So, it's not about blaming each other
23:19It is about what we are doing to Mother Earth
23:22Without being aware of it
23:24We are doing something we know
23:26We are doing something we know
23:28We are doing something we know
23:30Mother Earth, I would rather call
23:32So, that also had a huge impact
23:35And in these 100 days
23:39What I learned is
23:44My ski instructor is a Hungarian
23:47So, Tanatho was a group at that time
23:49When I was in Switzerland
23:52And Tanakhi didn't explain anything
23:55He could immediately connect to what I was saying
24:03There was an immediate connect
24:05There was an immediate connect
24:06Then I thought
24:07Soil doesn't
24:09You know
24:10Know boundaries
24:12You know, it can connect people across
24:14The world
24:16Because we are all from the soil
24:18We eat out of the soil
24:19It doesn't know any discrimination
24:22When it comes to cultural boundaries
24:24Or you know
24:26Nationalities
24:26Whatsoever
24:27And I made him sing
24:29The
24:31Save soil
24:33Song
24:33And he danced to it also
24:34It was so cute
24:35I think it's still somewhere on my Instagram
24:37So, he sang the
24:39La la la la la la la la
24:40And we all danced in the icy mountains of Alps
24:42So, illa
24:44Whatever we could do
24:47We did
24:47But the biggest takeaway
24:49From this moment for me
24:51Is
24:52Sadhguru ignited
24:54People
24:55And I felt like
24:58If people come together
25:00Not out of fear
25:01But with awareness
25:02We can shift
25:04The world
25:05In no time
25:07Our ignition
25:08Was needed for us
25:09And
25:10I feel
25:11The most profound thing is
25:13We connect deeper
25:15With people
25:16On a common cause
25:17Than
25:17What
25:19Differentiates us
25:20Or what
25:21Divides us
25:23So, it is
25:24Still
25:25It's like
25:25So overwhelming
25:26When I talk about it
25:27And
25:28I'm sure
25:29Everyone in this room
25:30Had a role to play
25:31And
25:32I'm honoured to be
25:34Present here
25:35Someone asked me
25:36Rojuka
25:37You know
25:38Like one of the
25:40Newspaper
25:41Journalist
25:42Asked me
25:42Are you excited to be here
25:43I said
25:44No
25:44I'm honoured to be here
25:45I'm overwhelmed to be here
25:47I'm
25:48You know
25:48I'm happy to be
25:49A part of
25:51This
25:52Massive movement
25:53Which moved people
25:54Across the globe

26:03This exactly
26:04Looks like
26:05Mystic musics
26:08Save soil musics
26:09I think
26:09We can call it
26:10Now
26:12Ashram
26:13In Pratisari
26:14I think
26:14Save soil
26:16Movement
26:16Sounds
26:17Over
26:17Whether
26:19I'm meeting
26:20Someone
26:20In Sounds
26:21Of Isha
26:21Any other
26:24Meditators
26:24Or volunteers
26:25Whoever
26:26Participated
26:27In the movement
26:28In the movement
26:29Sadguru
26:29Travel
26:33So we used to
26:34Put so many
26:35Questions
26:36Bother them a lot
26:37But I think
26:38This will do the job
26:39Of answering all
26:40Their questions
26:43More than being
26:45Part of
26:45The movement
26:46We are
26:47I think
26:47I can't call it
26:49As being part
26:50Of it
26:52Like you know
26:53A lot of
26:55A lot of

27:22Enough
27:22To see
27:23This
27:23Phenomena
27:24I think

27:55Until
27:55Sadguru
27:56Finished
27:56At
27:56Least
27:5620
27:5730
27:57Years
27:57And
27:58Journey
28:01I put out a post saying that let us support Sadhguru in the Save Soil Movement and let us all
28:07do whatever is possible in our own ways.
28:33So, now I understood what he is going through.
28:38So, I did not contribute to that, but I did not know what to do.
28:43I did not know what to do.
28:47I did not know what to do.
28:49I did not know what to do with my own life.
28:52I did not know what to do with my own life.
28:56I did not know what to do with my own life.
29:02I did not know what to do with animals.
29:07I thought, I would never know what to do with animals.
29:14I would not know what to do with animals.
29:20I was able to do what to do with animals.
29:29I didn't know what to do with animals.
29:32I did not know what to do with animals.
29:36I have learned a lot. I have learned a lot. I have learned a lot. And I have learned many
29:45things.
29:46When I look at the message, I have learned a lot. My child is a little too. I can't understand
29:56that many people are worried about it.
30:05So, we could only say thanks to him for being the pioneer or just to be the first one to
30:13just raise this fundamental thing that, you know,
30:24but I'm so happy that, you know, there are so many things, the whole world is moved and supported him
30:32in such big way.
30:34And now that there is so much work going in the background and we have this beautiful book and thanks
30:40to Radhe once again. Yeah.
30:43Yeah, because I don't know.
30:45I'm sorry, but I don't know how to explain it.
30:52Now that, you know, we are all on this same line, so I can just talk a little bit and
30:58then sing this song.
31:14I don't know how to explain it.
31:16I don't know how to explain it.
31:25I don't know how to explain it.
31:33I don't know how to explain it.
31:37I don't know how to explain it.
31:42I don't know how to explain it.
31:44I don't know how to explain the language.
31:48I don't know how to explain it.

38:18So,
38:48So,
38:56So,
38:57So,
38:57So,
38:58So,
39:03So,
39:33So,
39:34So,
39:37So,
39:50So,
39:52So,
39:52So,
39:52So,
39:55So,
39:56So,
39:56So,
40:01So,
40:02So,
40:03So,
40:05So,
40:07So,
40:12So,
40:14So,
40:16So,
40:50So,
40:50So,
40:50So,
40:54So,
40:54So,
40:54So,
40:54So,
40:56So,
40:58So,
40:59So,
41:00So,
41:00So,
41:03So,
41:08So,
41:15So,
41:16So,
41:16So,
41:16So,
41:21So,
41:36So,
41:36stop all fertilizers, stop all pesticides, you tell me can we feed our population without
41:41any fertilizer or pesticide, it's simply not possible.
41:44It's inhumane to ask a farmer who is barely able to feed his family to take on an environmental
41:52issue and solve it themselves.
41:54So the natural solution is if you put enough organic content back into the soil, naturally
42:02your need for fertilizer and pesticide will slowly go down over a period of time.
42:07But if there is no organic content in the soil, how is he supposed to give you food without
42:12fertilizer?
42:13It just doesn't make sense to ask that of them.
42:16So policies also must be in line with that plus education of the farmer to go back to
42:21certain kinds of farming practices based on the region in which he is a farmer.
42:25And this doesn't only help with soil rejuvenation, water retention in this country is an issue
42:32one day we have flood, next day we have drought, next day we have flood, next day we have drought.
42:36People think these are two separate problems.
42:38These are not separate problems except for the Gangetic Plain where we have ice based water
42:43flow, everywhere else in this country only that monsoon rain is our source of water for
42:49the rest of the year.
42:51Every time it rains, because there is not enough organic content, there is not enough tree roots,
42:57there is not enough material in the soil to hold the water, it just rushes through and
43:02you get a flood.
43:03All that water that should have soaked into the earth and stayed there and given us water
43:08and perennial rivers for the rest of the year, by the time summer comes there is no water in
43:13it which means you have droughts.
43:15So people think these are two separate problems, it's the same fundamental problem.
43:20You must raise the organic content of the soil from whatever it is right now to a minimum
43:26of three to six percent.
43:27This has economic benefits, this has environmental benefits, this has nourishment benefits because
43:33what you and I eat today is not the same as what our grandparents used to eat.
43:38We need to eat that much more food to get the same amount of nutrition.
43:44One example that we kept using during Safe Soil is that if you ate a California orange
43:48in 1920, you got to eat eight California oranges to get the same level of nutrition.
43:54Can you eat eight oranges on a daily basis to get that?
43:56It just simply doesn't make sense.
43:59So it's a question of improving the quality of our food, it's a question of improving the
44:05financial situation of the farmer, it's a question of improving the soil quality, improving
44:11the state of rivers in this country, it is a multifaceted solution but all of it comes
44:18from raising organic content in the soil.
44:21So what everyday people can do is make sure that the message does not stop because we are
44:29a democracy where you place your vote is extremely important.
44:32How you influence your local MP, MLA, your state government, your central government, it must
44:40be in line with this.
44:41If enough people raise their voice, they will have no choice but to make it the national policy.
44:47And when we had the event with the Prime Minister as part of Safe Soil, part of what we had
44:54done
44:54was all the letters that children had written, we put them up on boards and there was just simply
45:01not enough space.
45:02So we had stacks and stacks of letters on the corridor.
45:06So when the Prime Minister came for the event, he had no choice but to see how many children
45:11were asking for change.
45:14Nobody can not be moved by that.
45:16So your commitment as an individual is not okay, today I said safe soil and that's it.
45:22Every day if you think about it, every day if you talk about it to one person, the person you
45:27meet
45:27on the bus, your auto driver, your cab driver, your taxi driver, he will speak to one more person,
45:33he will speak to one more person and then it becomes something that each individual can make a change about.
45:40Yes, of course, if you are doing organic farming in your balcony garden, I have great respect for that.
45:45But that is not going to bring fundamental change to the country.
45:49If that means you have more education, if your balcony garden is helping you understand the
45:55situation better, if it's giving you the possibility to explain to people in a more clear and concise
46:02manner, it's extremely important that you do it.
46:04But 70% of India's land is in the hands of the farmer.
46:08We must support them and help them in every possible way to make this change.
46:13And it must happen in the next 20-25 years because if we wait beyond that, it's just going to
46:20take
46:20200 years to reverse it and who knows if we'll be successful at that time.
46:27So definitely having animals on the farm is a big thing.
46:32People also tend to think that animals on the farm, it's about being a source of milk or it's being
46:39a source of that.
46:40Actually, it is the cow dung and the urine which is the most precious part of what you can get
46:45from a cow.
46:46Because what that does for soil nourishment, there is simply no replacement.
46:51There are many traditional methods of how to transform just cow dung and urine into being an extremely
46:57powerful fertilizer.
46:59We have a method of teaching this as part of Cauvery Calling.
47:02We teach farmers how to make jiva mhritam on their farmland.
47:05So it's not something they have to buy.
47:07It's something they can create for themselves as long as they have some bovine animals on their land.
47:13It is also a source of nutrition for their immediate family, whether it's milk or whatever.
47:17And many people are growing chicken and duck because the waste from the duck is far more
47:24is far more powerful fertilizer than many things that you get on the market.
47:30So it's a question of educating them on how to use it and how to make their farms
47:36significantly more profitable for them.
47:39And the by-product of that is that it becomes more organic.
47:46So organic farming is very expensive.
47:51So farmers who want to try, who want to be part of safe soil, safe soil concept, who want to
48:08be a part
48:09in future growth.
48:10We have multiple FPOs, farmer producer organizations, and we work with many thousands of farmers.
48:18We have a lot of education camps that happen.
48:21We have a model farm in Coimbatore near the ashram where anybody can come, spend time, learn how to
48:30change the quality of their soil, learn how to change their farming methodology.
48:34We have nurseries across Tamil Nadu and Karnataka.
48:38We were also working a little bit with the Maharashtra government and we had set up a few nurseries there.
48:43So anybody who wants to come and learn, we are happy to teach.
48:48Please come, spend some time with us.
48:50We will help you.
48:51We will support you.
48:52We will make sure that there is a local support for you wherever you are from so that this process
48:57of changing is not a painful process because it does require a certain amount of investment
49:02for the first couple of years.
49:04So we'll ensure that there is some support for you in wherever you are from.
49:10And please come and learn everything that we have to teach or if you have a group of people
49:14that you can put together, we are happy to come there and teach you how it's done.
49:18We have many, many resources that we are happy to make available.
49:23We're working very closely with the Tamil Nadu Agricultural University.
49:26So anybody who wants to make the change, we are happy to come and teach you or you can,
49:32you're most welcome to come to where we are and look at the changes that we have made
49:36and learn from the practices that we have done.
49:38Both ways it can be done.
49:44How was their response?
49:46Because I was from an agriculture family, so parents don't know that there is organic
49:52farming or bio, they don't know.
49:54So I have a question for pesticides, I have a question, I have a question, I have a question
49:59I have a question, I have a question, I have a question, I have a question, I have a question.
50:00See, Save Soil, do you really think that this book can change the mindset of the farmers and the people?
50:05See, it depends.
50:06No, no, no.
50:06It depends on the farmers.
50:17No, no, no, sir, I am not questioning where you are coming from, I am asking you, the fact
50:26that you think you are only indirectly related to the soil is the problem.
50:32If you eat, then you are directly connected to the soil.
50:36It is as much your concern as it is the farmers concern.
50:39Yeah.
50:40This book is about people's experience of the save soil journey.
50:45Okay.
50:45But the work we do on the ground is directly with farmers and farmers' incomes have gone
50:52up anywhere from 300 to 800 percent.
50:55We have been working with them on the ground for the last 30 plus years.
50:59Okay.
50:59So, this is, movement is about ensuring government policy happens on a worldwide platform.
51:06But actual activity and working with farmers, we have been doing for 30 plus years.
51:12You must come and visit our farm, visit our farmers in the FPO.
51:16And if you have anybody who would like to do it, we are very happy to work with them also.
51:21See, the only thing, I need to put Mike Bhatkoon regarding the reason in Rante.
51:24See, what are the subjects we are discussing, most of the farmers don't know the subject.
51:27They only need their profits.
51:30So, they are going on pesticides.
51:31See, one of the pesticides companies, let me complete it please.
51:34One of the pesticides companies, they want to promote their pesticides.
51:37They come to the field, they show that.
51:40So, how it works.
51:41And why can't we, even I don't know that, maybe in the campaign you got participated.
51:48My mom was a degree finally a student.
51:50I didn't have any idea regarding this.
51:51But my question is that, why can't we go to the, direct to the farmer and we can teach like
51:57practically.
51:58So, many of the farmers don't know the subject.
51:59Sir, that's what I am telling you.
52:00We are working on the ground with the farmers in multiple states, in multiple districts.
52:07This book is about the people who went on the journey and what they experienced.
52:11But active work under the Save Soil banner is happening on a daily basis, not just today.
52:18But for the last 30 years, we have been working and educating and working with them.
52:22Because we also live along with the farmers.
52:26But in your mind, I want you to change this idea that I am indirectly connected to the soil.
52:33If you wake up in the morning and eat, I want you to know that your body is directly connected
52:38to the soil.
52:39See, what my question is, directly I am talking about, but we are not the farmers and we are not
52:44doing our crop what we eat.
52:46No, only the farmers do the thing I was like.
52:48Yes, sir. We are working with them also.
52:50Yes, that's what I am telling you.
52:52I am telling you.
52:53If you get a crop rotation, you can go to the plants or other plants or other plants.
53:08Maybe you don't have to worry about it.
53:10You don't have to worry about it.
53:13If you get a crop rotation, you will have to worry about it.
53:15I am saying it's not easy.
53:20There is a lot of work going on and we all have to continuously work on it.
53:24Only then the change will come.
53:26Fertilizers…
53:27What profits, what profits, what profits.
53:30We have to talk about it.
53:32Now farmer directly he can't see money in it.
53:35We need to explain them.
53:37They are talking about it and they are talking about it.
53:40But there is a lot of work going on.
53:42Radha said there are model, you know, farmlands around Coimbatore and so many places in Tamil Nadu.
53:51It is practically, the right people also have profits.
53:56So, if you choose the right people, you can't understand anything.
54:02See, until I was not...
54:03No, no, I was not saying that.
54:05But Radha was saying this book is not about changing people's mind right now.
54:09This is to inspire people what has gone through in bringing this change.
54:14Okay, sir, thank you.
54:16So, Kaveri calling, this is very much part of that.
54:20We travel from village to village and we educate farmers.
54:24We were talking to them one-one person, three-three people, twenty people.
54:28Once impact happened on a few farms, then they themselves would collect farmers and put them together and say,
54:35I will get hundred farmers, can you come and teach us?
54:37So, the people that we are involved with are very much part of the process.
54:42Their ideas of farming have changed.
54:45Their farming practices have changed.
54:47Their income levels have gone up from 300 to 800%.
54:51So, only if it works for somebody, will somebody else say, okay, it works for them, so let me also
54:57try it.
54:57So, this is part of what Kaveri calling is.
55:00Kaveri calling is an on-ground example of what the safe soil policy can do on large scale.
55:06Thank you, everybody, for being with us this evening.
55:10I think we have some wonderful music coming up with Ramanna and then we will all meet you for dinner.
55:18Kaveri calling is an on-ground example of what we have seen in this book.
55:35I think we have seen a lot of people who have committed to this movement, commitment, simple common people's stories.
55:43In a country, we have faced challenges in one country.
55:47We have faced challenges in each country.
55:50We have faced 30,000 km in London.
56:05We have faced some of the issues in the country.
56:09We have had a different response for people.
56:16We have had a lot of help.
56:18We have compiled stories in front of us.
56:27This is the People's Moment.
56:30Sadhguru starts doing it, but if you tell us about the meat, the meat is the same.
56:38In this country, 95% of our food comes from the soil.
56:46If you are American, German, Indian, it's the same.
56:50So, the meat is the same as the meat is the same as the meat.
56:54Even if you try a man, you use a one, you use the easy utan, you use something as
56:59So, the meat is the same as the meat is the same.
57:05It is the same as the meat is the same in the hand.
57:20And the moral of the story is that after listening to these stories, what did you learn?
57:26This is the first copy that came today.
57:31And I am very fortunate because when I was listening to these stories,
57:34I would like to share stories about them.
57:36So, I would like to share 2-3 stories in my panel discussion.
57:40So, I would like to share stories about them, how to share stories about them,
57:44and how to share stories about them, how to share stories about them,
57:48and how to share stories about them, and how to share stories about them.
57:55So, this is a movement that is a common people's stories which are inspiring.
58:04So, this journey may have started in 2022 and Sadhguru did the journey in 2022.
58:10But it's something that all of us must still be involved in.
58:14It's something that we must all keep alive in our daily life.
58:18It's something we must talk about.
58:20It's something we must educate everybody about.
58:23The book is about our experience so that you are also inspired by this experience
58:28and that you are able to bring safe soil to wherever you are from
58:31and make it a part of your life and make it a part of the lives of the people around
58:34you.
58:37So, this book is available on Amazon.
58:39You can pre-order it and then it will be delivered to your home.
58:42I hope all of you become a part of the safe soil journey.
