Ecological Spirituality: Hindu Scriptural Perspectives

Ecological Spirituality: Hindu Scriptural Perspectives

Every major step man takes wreaks its own damage on the environment. Aware of this, man is yet unwilling to forgo the immediate material benefits his actions give. for all his professions of concern aabout the environment, in reality his concern reduces to nothing more than cosmetic changes in the exterior which are of no value. This celender monograph is critique on this pervasive culture of ambivalence. The author resorts to the first principles, Sanatana Dharmawhich literally means eternal order. Not environmental engineering but ecological spirituality is the answer. In Fact this is the only religion the world needs.
