WE TOOK EVERYTHING FROM THE MOUNTAINS — FOR A FEW MINUTES OF PLEASURE

We speak of development.We celebrate growth.
We applaud comfort.

But we rarely ask who paid the price.

The mountains did.The forests did.The oceans did.The animals did.
And now — we will.

THE FACTS WE CAN NO LONGER IGNORE

This is not opinion.
This is documented global data.

1. 73–75% of global wildlife populations are gone

According to the Living Planet Report (WWF):

Since 1970, the average population of wild animals has declined by ~73% globally

In some regions and ecosystems, the loss crosses 75%

This includes:

Forest animals,Mountain species,Marine life,Birds,Insects,Amphibians

This didn’t happen in centuries.
It happened in one human lifetime.

2. Marine life: more than half wiped out

56% of marine wildlife populations have declined

Sharks and rays: ~71% decline

Coral reefs: over 50% already destroyed, even though they support 25% of all marine species

All this — for:

Overfishing,Luxury seafood,Pollution,Coastal development,Pleasure and profit

The ocean fed us quietly.
We returned plastic, poison, and noise.

3. Mountains are being destroyed without mercy

Mountains are not empty land.
They are living ecosystems.

Yet:

Entire mountains are cut, blasted, mined, tunneled

Forests are cleared for:

Roads,Dams,Tourism,Resorts,“View points”,Short-term profit

Mountain species have nowhere to escape. When forests fall in plains, animals move.
When forests fall on mountains — they die.

4. Deforestation = slow mass extinction

Every year:

~10 million hectares of forest are destroyed (UN FAO)

That means:

Homes erased,Food chains broken,Soil dying,Rivers drying,Climate destabilizing

Forests are cut for:
Convenience,Paper,Packaging,Fast fashion,Meat production,Luxury lifestyles

A tree takes decades to grow.
We cut it in minutes.
5. Over 47,000 species are now threatened with extinction
According to the IUCN Red List:
~27% of assessed species are threatened
Thousands are critically endangered
Many will disappear without ever being known
Extinction today is not natural.
It is human-made.
FOR WHAT?
For:
A few minutes of pleasure
Faster travel,Bigger houses(next in comments)

“Yogah chitta vritti nirodhah”

Yoga is not performance.
Yoga is not escape.
Yoga is alignment with truth.
As the Gita teaches—
to act without attachment,
to live with integrity,
and to walk the path of Dharma even when it is uncomfortable.

सजग जीवन की ओर एक यात्रा पर आपका स्वागत है।

कनिका का संदेश

प्रिय मित्र,

आज की दुनिया में अधिकांश लोग ज्ञान के आनंद के लिए नहीं सीखते, बल्कि इसके द्वारा मिलने वाली चीज़ों के लिए — सफलता, धन, मान्यता। हम ऐसे समय में जी रहे हैं जहाँ परिणाम विकास से अधिक मायने रखते हैं, जहाँ लोग पूछते हैं, “आप कितना कमाते हैं?” बजाय “क्या आप संतुष्ट हैं?” के। एक ऐसा समय जब खुशी को लोग बाहर ढूँढते हैं — वस्तुओं में, दूसरों में, उपलब्धियों में — बजाय इसके कि इसे भीतर खोजें।

इस शोर के बीच, मैं एक ऐसा स्थान बनाना चाहती हूँ जो अलग महसूस हो — एक ऐसा स्थान जो सभी के लिए खुला हो, चाहे पृष्ठभूमि, स्थिति या पहचान कुछ भी हो। एक ऐसा स्थान जहाँ लोग बस भूलने और याद करने के लिए आ सकें। एक ऐसा स्थान जहाँ जीवन के सार से फिर से जुड़ा जा सके — शांति, सजगता और समग्रता के साथ जीना, जैसा हम पहले जानते थे।

मेरा उद्देश्य है कि लोगों को उनकी आंतरिक शक्ति और ज्ञान फिर से याद दिलाया जाए — उन्हें यह याद दिलाना कि जो कुछ भी वे खोज रहे हैं, वह पहले से ही उनके भीतर मौजूद है। मैं चाहती हूँ कि प्रत्येक व्यक्ति स्वावलंबी, सजग और स्वयं का शिक्षक बनने में सक्षम बनकर लौटे — कि वह वास्तव में अपनी रोशनी खुद बने और दुःख से ऊपर उठे।

यह हमारा पहला योग शिविर है, और इसे पूरी तरह दान-आधारित रूप में पेश किया जा रहा है। यदि हम इसे सफलतापूर्वक चला पाएंगे, तो हम हर महीने एक दान-आधारित योग शिविर आयोजित करने की योजना रखते हैं। यदि आप किसी भी रूप में हमारा समर्थन करना चाहते हैं, तो कृपया संपर्क करें। अपने मित्रों, परिवार या सहयोगियों के साथ इसे साझा करना भी मदद करने का सुंदर तरीका है। मुझे मणाली में आपसे मिलने की प्रतीक्षा है।

सप्रेम और प्रकाश के साथ,

कनिका

*WELCOME TO A JOURNEY OF CONSCIOUS LIVING*

*In a world where everyone wants to be a millionaire or billionaire, be a punya-naire.*

Message from Kanika
Dear Friend,

In today 's world, most people learn not for the joy of knowledge, but for what it can bring — success, money, validation. We live in a time where results matter more than growth, where people ask “How much do you earn?” instead of “Are you content?”. A time when happiness is something people chase — in things, in others, in achievements — instead of discovering it within.

Amidst this noise, I wish to create a space that feels different — a space open to everyone, regardless of background, status, or identity. A space where people can come simply to unlearn and to remember. A space to reconnect with the essence of life — to live peacefully, consciously, and holistically, as we once knew how.

My intention is to help people rediscover their inner strength and wisdom — to remind them that everything they seek already exists within. I want each person to walk away self-reliant, aware, and capable of being their own teacher — to truly be their own light and rise above suffering.

This is our first retreat, and it is being offered entirely on a donation basis. If we are able to run it successfully,

we plan to host one donation-based retreat every month. If you’d like to support us in any way, please feel free to reach out. Even sharing this with your friends, family, or colleagues is a beautiful way to help. I look forward to seeing you in Manali.
With love and light,

Kanika
Founder, The Yogic Life

*सजग जीवन की ओर एक यात्रा पर आपका स्वागत है।*

*एक ऐसी दुनिया जहाँ हर कोई करोड़पति और अरबपति बनना चाहता है, आप पुण्यपति बनिए।*

Maybe you are already on the path of yog—and you don’t even know it.
Yog is not only about spending one or two hours on a mat and saying, “I do yog.”
Yog is about how you live your life.

It is about being kind, loving, and compassionate to others.
It is about helping people, being empathetic, and caring—not because you want recognition, but because it feels right.

Yog means walking on the path of truth, even when it costs you everything—
and never harming anyone for your own gain.

Yog means being free from ego.
You are willing to learn from anyone, even if they are younger or less experienced than you, because wisdom has no age.

Yog is choosing honesty over shortcuts.
You do not steal, cheat, lie, or manipulate—because you respect your own conscience.

Yog is moderation.
You are not controlled by food, pleasure, s*x, greed, validation, or ego.
You enjoy life, but you are not addicted to it.
Pleasure does not rule you.

Yog is contentment.
You don’t hold grudges.
You don’t carry resentment in your mind.
You make peace and move forward.

Yog is authenticity.
You stay true to who you are.
You don’t try to impress others by pretending to be someone else.
You don’t show off your body, money, phone, travel, or lifestyle to prove your worth.
You know who you are—and that is enough.

If this is how you live,
you are already practicing yog—
without realizing it.
Because yog is not a physical exercise.
Yog is a way of living.

वसुधैव कुटुम्बकम् |
पूरी दुनिया एक परिवार है।

The whole world is one big family — Vasudhaiva Kuṭumbakam.

We may look different. We may come from different belief systems, ideologies, countries, and cultures. We may hold different opinions and ways of living. Yet beneath these differences, we are deeply connected.

Ancient wisdom reminds us: “This is my relative, that is a stranger” — such thinking belongs to the small-minded. For the wise, the entire world is one family.
The depth of this idea lies in oneness.

This oneness teaches us that there is no real separation between you and others.
All beings — humans, animals, rivers, forests, and nature itself — are interconnected.
When you harm another, you harm yourself.
When you uplift another, you uplift the whole.

We often believe that what we do in one part of the world will not affect others. But this is an illusion. Nature has designed the universe in an interconnected, interdependent, and beautifully balanced way.
Every intention, every word, and every action creates a ripple — affecting not only ourselves but the entire world.

As human intelligence developed, we slowly shifted from living with awareness to living mainly for comfort and pleasure. In the pursuit of convenience and short-term gain, we forgot balance, responsibility, and reverence for life. The result is visible today: the Earth is under stress.

This crisis is not limited to one nation or one region. Climate change, pollution, and ecological damage do not respect borders.
Countries and people with the highest carbon footprints affect even those whose impact on nature is minimal or negative. When one part of the Earth suffers, the whole planet feels it.

Vasudhaiva Kuṭumbakam is not just an idea to admire — it is a way of living. It calls us to shift from me to we, from short-term pleasure to long-term wisdom, from domination to harmony. We are not separate from the Earth; we are members of its family.

Remembering this truth is the first step toward healing ourselves, restoring balance, and protecting life for generations to come.

There is no grey—only right and wrong, only truth.

When society starts accepting what is wrong, it slowly moves toward collapse.
When lying, cheating, dishonesty, and disloyalty become normal, suffering increases.
Crime rises, corruption rises,trust disappears, and hate grows.

The world tells us: be smart, be flexible, be grey.
Wisdom says: be clear.

We are often told that truth gives no reward, that honesty and loyalty will hold us back, and that to succeed we must compromise.

But this is the biggest lie.

Truth itself is the reward.
Honesty is the reward.
Loyalty is the reward.

They may not give you a big house, a luxury car, praise from others or also put you in trouble or sometimes in jail
But they give you something far more valuable—a peaceful mind.
That is your success.

They let you sleep at night without fear, guilt, or self-doubt.
Let the world take shortcuts.
Let people justify their actions and choose comfort over conscience.

Listen to your inner voice—the quiet voice inside you that knows what is right and what is wrong.
If you ignore it, or start calling wrong things “right,” then something needs to change.
That is a sign to pause, look within, question yourself, and work on your actions and intentions.

When the world becomes noisy and confusing, integrity becomes your guide.

And even when the world loses its way, those who live by truth remain strong and unbroken.

Imagine if you were born in another part of the world—
with a different name, different parents, a different country,
a different society, caste, religion, gender, creed, or ethnicity.
Who would you be then?
Would you still recognize yourself beyond these labels—
beyond gender, caste, religion, region, and nationality?
Or is your identity merely a layering of associations:
conditioning passed down by family and society,
beliefs shaped by culture and religion,
experiences that left their marks,
and traumas that silently molded your responses and fears?

How much of you is truly you,
and how much is learned, inherited, or imposed?
If all identities, conditioning, experiences, and trauma
were gently peeled away,
would something remain that you could call I?
Or are you still living beneath these layers—
shaped by circumstances you never chose,
mistaking conditioning for self
and survival patterns for identity?

काल करे सो आज कर, आज करे सो अब।
पल में परलय होएगी, बहुरि करेगा कब॥
-----कबीर
What you plan to do tomorrow, do it today.
What you plan to do today, do it right now.
Because who knows — in the next moment, the world may end, and you may never get another chance. ----Saint Kabir

All our lives, we keep planning for the future — “when I get this, I’ll be happy,” “when I achieve that, I’ll finally be complete.” We live in tomorrows that never come, and forget the only moment that truly exists — the present.

We live in illusion — the illusion of endless time.
We act as if tomorrow is guaranteed, as if we will always have another chance to live, to love, to begin. But life is fragile; every breath is borrowed, every moment a gift.

What if, instead of planning for the future, we began to live for the present?

When the present is lived with awareness, care, and contentment, the future naturally unfolds in harmony. The present is not just a passing moment — it’s a gift, the only space where life actually happens.

There is no better time than now.
If something matters to your heart — begin it.
If you wish to forgive, forgive now.
If you wish to express love, do it now.
If you dream of changing your life, start with this moment.

The future is only an echo of the present. When the present is lived fully, the future takes care of itself.
Time is not endless — it’s sacred. And the only real time you have is now.
