According to The Rig-Veda, the oldest poetic thoughts of
this planet and the Indian subcontinent, at the root of
all divine creative activity is the spark of desire that
expands the universe from a primordial unity into
flowering multiplicity. Dr. Neela Bhattacharya Saxena
explores this theme and the place of the great Goddess
Kali in the spiritual and cultural heritage of India in
her book titled: In the Beginning IS Desire: Tracing
Kali's Footprints in Indian Literature
At the
source of all human activity too is desire. The Boston
Pledge (TBP), a humanitarian initiative (non profit
organization) headquartered in Boston, has originated in
the desire of people from multiple disciplines. TBP is
an unique undertaking which brings together resources
from the academia, the industry, NGOs, government
bodies, students and the common people to find a
sustainable solutions to range of issues which help in
raising hopes and preserving heritage for social good.
One such effort, Kalighat Redevelopment Project has
initiated a community effort to improve the ecology and
environment of this Ancient Heritage site in Kolkata,
India.
