Day 1️⃣ : Fragrance of Soil

I have always wondered how Soil smells like.

In my home state of Kerala we have had variations of laterite and alluvial soils.

Apart form the geography lessons, my grandfather had a very simplistic answer.

He went outside scooped a palmful of earth in his hand and filled my two little hands.

Yes, I don't remember the year but I was very small and rode a dog like a horse 🐎

When grandfather filled my hand with soil. I was instantly struck by the cold comfort. It was so cuddly like my mother's hands.

As I felt through the soil I had the urge to bring it up to my nose and smell. I was able to experience a damp coldness. It was not the smell of a wet cloth or a mossy corner.

It was the smell of Life. I have never experienced such a smell inside a petri dish , a lab culture or a gestation tube.

Soil is indeed unique as it forms the very fabric under which we thrive and prosper.

Let us all take a scoop of earth from our nearby land and experience the smell of life.

Sadhguru, a yogi and visionary, has set off for his 100-day solo motorcycle journey as part of his mission to save soil.

All set to visit 27 nations in the course of few months, Sadhguru aims to address the issue of soil extinction and engage with world leaders and media regarding the same.

Riding the motorcycle, 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗽𝗶𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗽𝗮𝘀𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗨𝗞, 𝗘𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲, 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗠𝗶𝗱𝗱𝗹𝗲 𝗘𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗮, and meet world leaders, the media and leading experts across the globe to emphasize the urgent need for concerted action to save soil.

In a recent address to UK Parliamentarians, Sadhguru ardently voiced the importance of a girl child in this movement as a way of transcending social divisions of nationality, race, religion and caste, and creed. “When they see a child, a girl child,” he said, “I believe people’s hearts will become little more tender.” He urged women to take up the movement, speaking of the critical role they play because of the greater concern they have for future generations. “If you want to say ‘I love you’ to your child, you must just say ‘Save Soil’ because it is a more committed way of saying ‘I love you.’

According to the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD), over 90% of the earth’s soil could become degraded by 2050 leading to catastrophic crises worldwide including food and water shortages, droughts and famines, adverse climate changes, mass migrations and unprecedented rates of species extinction. This ‘soil extinction’ is the gravest threat to Humanity right now, as our planet is losing the ability to grow food because of rapid soil degradation.
