Maa Shakambhari teaches us a simple but powerful lesson: human life depends on nature. She is worshipped as the goddess who provides food—grains, fruits, and vegetables—and protects people during times of drought and famine.
Stories say Maa Shakambhari appeared when the land was dry and people were starving. She gave food from nature and saved life. This message is very relevant today. When forests are cut, rivers polluted, and soil damaged, people suffer. When nature is protected, life becomes secure.
Her worship reminds us that food is real wealth. Without clean water, fertile land, and healthy crops, no city or economy can survive. In today’s fast-growing cities, we often ignore green spaces and farmlands. This creates heat, pollution, and food shortages.
Maa Shakambhari shows that caring for nature is not only an environmental issue, but a responsibility. Protecting trees, land, water, and local food systems is a way of protecting our future.
In remembering Maa Shakambhari, we are reminded to live in balance with nature—because when nature is cared for, life continues.
