Publisher Description:
Spiritual Ecology and Ecotheology: This work is based on a study of four contemporary Indic organisations within the purview of Hinduism in terms of their perspectives on ecological consciousness, ecological initiatives and micro and macro implications of perspectives and initiatives. The basic purpose is to see how spiritual and religious consciousness influences ecological consciousness. The pragmatic value of the exploration lies in providing a new insight to ecological consciousness (of the influence of religious and spiritual consciousness within the purview of Hinduism on ecological consciousness) in the wake of the current ecological crisis. The core finding is that sacralisation of nature is viewed as an ecologically viable proposition to combat the present day ecological crisis - sacralisation as instrumental in nature preservation, also bringing in dimensions of embedded morality in human nature relationships, soul-cosmos relations as revealing the individual being as the microcosm of the macrocosmic universe and the universe as a manifestation of the Ultimate Reality.
