"Now the way we insult our Mother Earth, what we are doing is we are insulting the Adi Shakti.  So many ways there are, we should respect the Mother Earth.  I mean it was in India, the first time, to begin with, when you got up from your bed and you touched the Mother Earth with your feet, you had to say “Oh Mother Earth, please forgive me because I’m touching you with my feet”.  All the movements of Mother Earth are controlled by this inner Kundalini, which is the reflection of Adi Shakti.  The gravity that it has also is the manifestation of the Kundalini of the Mother Earth". Adi Shakti puja 1997

Jaguars, spectacled bears, brown-headed spider monkeys, and plate-billed mountain toucans they all just breathe a little easier because Ecuadorians approve a new constitution in a referendum in 2008 that  grants these threatened animals' habitats with inalienable rights.


The new constitution gives nature the "right to exist, persist, maintain and regenerate its vital cycles, structure, functions and its processes in evolution" and mandates that the government take "precaution and restriction measures in all the activities that can lead to the extinction of species, the destruction of the ecosystems or the permanent alteration of the natural cycles."



Dr. Mario Melo, a lawyer specializing in Environmental Law and Human Rights and an advisor to Fundación Pachamama-Ecuador, said that the new constitution redefines people's relationship with nature by asserting that nature is not just an object to be appropriated and exploited by people, but is rather a rights-bearing entity that should be treated with parity under the law.
"In this sense, the new constitution reflects the traditions of indigenous peoples living in Ecuador, who see nature as a mother and call her by a proper name, Pachamama," said Melo.


No other country has gone as far as Ecuador in proposing to give trees their day in court, according to an Article in Los Angeles Time. 

Chapter: Rights for Nature

Art. 1. Nature or Pachamama, where life is reproduced and exists, has the right to exist, persist, maintain and regenerate its vital cycles, structure, functions and its processes in evolution.

Art. 2. Nature has the right to an integral restoration. This integral restoration is independent of the obligation on natural and juridical persons or the State to indemnify the people and the collectives that depend on the natural systems.

"Now, why we are suffering in this beautiful planet is because we do not respect what we have to respect the most.  Mother Earth is to be respected, meaning what? – meaning that whatever is created on this earth, by the movement of the earth, by the sea, by all the elements, has to be respected.  Today’s problem is pollution, all kinds of things people talk of.  The reason behind it, people never understood the importance of all these five elements, which are supportive of our lives"

Shri Mataji's last visit to Colombia 1994

"Shri Mataji, please make that the sensitivity towards you existing in the collective unconscious of Ecuador, will allow many seekers of the truth to get their reunion with their roots,  the Pachamama inside"
