Welcome to the third issue of Vasudha, a journal dedicated to shaping a conscious path toward sustainable living.
This month’s issue invites readers to explore one profound idea: true sustainability begins not with technology, but with transformation—of self, society, and spirit. 
At a time when ecological challenges grow louder, we spotlight voices that whisper the wisdom of restraint, balance, and gratitude.
In our Special Article, Prof. Chetan Singh Solanki delivers a powerful message: the Earth is finite—our responsibilities are not. Through the Finite Earth Movement, he urges a radical yet compassionate shift from doing more to needing less.
The Perspectives section opens with Dileep Kulkarni’s reflection on nature’s principle of give and take, contrasting it with the unsustainable excesses of modern life. It is followed by Raghunandan Trikannad’s moving meditation on Ahobhāva—the spiritual virtue of gratefulness that transforms ordinary life into celebration.
In Sustainable Lifestyle Stories, N. Krishnamurthi draws upon the Upanishads to share the timeless message of “DA”: the call to practice self-control, generosity, and compassion—a reminder that our inner nature shapes the world we create.
Technologies features an evocative profile of architect Shirish Beri by Dr. A. Madhan Kumar, showcasing architecture as a practice of empathy, simplicity, and connection to the earth.
In Communities, article on Meivazhisalai is a quiet yet potent testimony that sustainable living isn’t a dream—it is already being lived. Their collective lifestyle shows that peace with nature begins with inner clarity and social cohesion.
The Practices section turns the spotlight to rainwater harvesting, where a simple, age-old idea emerges as a modern tool for resilience and water security.
In our Reviews, the timeless relevance of The Limits to Growth is revisited, reminding us that wisdom voiced half a century ago still holds the key to our survival. Meanwhile, Leonisa Ardizzone’s essay bridges science and spirituality, reminding us that healing the climate begins by healing our relationship with each other and the planet.
From this issue onwards, we have added a new page on Upcoming events and finally, we’re heartened by Testimonials from the visitors, which affirm that Vasudha is not just a publication—but a quiet movement of hearts and habits.
As you journey through these pages, may you feel inspired to make sustainability not just a cause, but a way of being.
With best wishes,
