In Indic religious traditions, a number of rituals and myths exist
in which the environment is revered. Despite this nature worship in
India, its natural resources are under heavy pressure with its
growing economy and exploding population. This has led several
scholars to raise questions about the role religious communities
can play in environmentalism. Does nature worship inspire Hindus to
act in an environmentally conscious way? This book explores the
above questions with three communities, the Swadhyaya movement, the
Bishnoi, and the Bhil communities. Presenting the texts of
Bishnois, their environmental history, and their contemporary
activism; investigating the Swadhyaya movement from an ecological
perspective; and exploring the Bhil communities and their Sacred
Groves, this book applies a non-Western hermeneutical model to
interpret the religious traditions of Indic communities. With a
foreword by Roger S Gottlieb.
