'Cleanliness is next to Godliness' is a popular proverb by John Wesley. Today is the birth anniversary of great reformer Sant Gadge Baba whose mission was focused on cleanliness in community spaces.
He wandered from village to village, wearing his food pan upturned on his head & carrying his trademark broom. When he entered a village, he would instantly start cleaning the gutters & roads of the village.
People started joining him in his cleaning activity. He educated people against blind faiths & rituals. He called it belief cleansing. He linked cleanliness to true spirituality.
Personal hygiene comes from personal motives but hygiene and cleanliness in community spaces needs lofty motives. Clean community spaces have personal benefits for everyone: they bring along joy, reduce stress, create a healthy environment, make us responsible and respectful to the shared resources.
Cleanliness must be our daily design
Common spaces must sparkle all the time!
