Thank you! Mahavira (600 BCE) was a founder of new spiritual movement Jainism and his pivotal idea for salvation from the "bad karma" was the practice of ahimsa or ecological ethic (to be absolutely harmless to all forms of life). When Mahavira was walking through the jungle all animals, birds, fishes, insects, plants around him on 20 km. was feeling the great Master's presence. It seems to me Norman Borlaug like his spiritual ancestor was not only a revolutionary and savior the millions of living beings on our planet but a great spiritual leader who was able to combine knowledge, wisdom and love.

Nobel Prize
'The father of the Green Revolution' - Norman Borlaug - is credited with saving millions from mass starvation. The story of Norman Borlaug and the green revolution demonstrates how the combination of science, education and social entrepreneurship can transform the world - and save millions of lives. The cartoon shows Borlaug cradling a new hardy type of wheat, called dwarf wheat, which was highly disease-resistant and not easily affected by wind and rain. Borlaug worked with scientists and farmers in Mexico to introduce the new breed. Thanks to their collaboration the country became self-sufficient in wheat in about 11 years.
Borlaug believed in educating farmers on the ground, a practice that turned out to be very successful. The learnings from Mexico were later taken up by other countries including India and Pakistan.
