"That is the way of material civilization, too much depending
on machine. At any time the whole thing may collapse and
therefore we may not be self complacent depending so much on
artificial life. The modern life of civilization depends wholly on
electricity and petrol and both of them are artificial for man."
-Srila Prabhupada
Root of petroleum crisis, or all other man-made crises for that
matter, lies in polluted consciousnes. Mind is the place of first
creation. All crises in this world, including that of resource and
environment are the direct outcome of our polluted desires or
contaminated consciousness.
-Sahadeva Dasa
July 15th: CM of Andhra Pradesh released the book by Sriman Sahadeva dasa at his camp office.

Its now or never. Humanity stands at the cross roads
today. 150 years old industrial civilization is entering a
decisive phase and the direction we take now would
decide our fate, for better or for worse. Human
society, living an industrialized life, has used up
resources which took nature millions of years to build
up. How long our earth and environment can
support this reckless
living is a question now.
On many fronts, the crumbling of this colossal
industrial setup is becoming apparent. One on the
forefront is peak oil or upcoming oil shortage. Oil is
the lifeblood of modern civilization. Choke off the oil
and it quickly seizes.
