Spiritual leader Sadhguru may have completed his 100-day, 27-nation journey to raise awareness about the need to save soil, but his message continues to echo worldwide.

Earlier this week, the iconic Burj Khalifa in Dubai lit up supporting the Save Soil movement to further draw the world's attention to the critical need to address rapid soil degeneration. 

The two-minute light and laser show at the world's tallest skyscraper projected Sadhguru's Save Soil message, voices of support from global leaders, scientists, and celebrities, and glimpses from Sadhguru's historic 30,000 km motorcycle ride from London to India to garner support towards Save Soil. 

In the last few weeks, Burj Khalifa joined 50 other iconic locations that showed support for Save Soil. These include Toronto's TV Tower, the Jet D’eau in Geneva, the Montreal Olympic Stadium, the Niagara Falls and the Piazza del Campo (Sienna).

In India, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation building in Mumbai, Atal Setu in Goa, Howrah bridge in Kolkata, Chennai and Hubli Railway Stations, Durgam Cheruvu Bridge and Buddha Statue in Hyderabad were among the few prominent locations that lit up in support of the movement. 

Sadhguru attended the Dubai event virtually. According to the Isha Foundation, which was founded by Sadhguru, the 'Save Soil' journey touched 3.9 billion people in the last three months. Another significant outcome of Sadhguru's mission was that 74 nations agreed to work towards soil regeneration actively.

Expressing his gratitude to the UAE government for its vision for soil regeneration, Sadhguru noted that 'the work has just begun' and pointed out that the real challenge is the speed at which the implementation of policies will happen. 

Sadhguru highlighted that the movement has been successful in changing the narrative as 'today literally across the world, people are talking about soil, governments are discussing soil regeneration programs, budgets are being allocated' and asserted that 'the mission is not over' till we ensure the policies are implemented.

Taking to Twitter, Sadhguru said, "@BurjKhalifa, iconic fulcrum of UAE lighting up to #SaveSoil is a symbolic expression of the commitment of the visionary leadership. The wonderful people & the sensitive leadership can make UAE an ecological leader in the region. Congratulations & Blessings to every one of you.-Sg"
