TITLE : ENVIRONMENT AND SPIRITUALITY: GITA — A NEW VISION
ABSTRACT: In the face of growing environmental deterioration, the need to blend spiritual insights with ecological action has become more evident. This paper presents a comprehensive “Gita Vision,” an interpretation of the Bhagavad Gita’s teachings focused on environmental ethics, sustainability, and ecological stewardship. Using textual analysis, comparative philosophical study, and modern environmental theory, the article asserts that key Gita concepts such as dharma, nishkama karma, yajna, the three gunas, and the unity of the Self (Atman/Paramatma) offer a strong basis for an ethical framework that can shape current environmental policy, education, and personal practices. The study presents a conceptual model for spiritual-ecological change and explores the practical implications for environmental governance, community initiatives, and individual lifestyles. Lastly, the paper suggests future directions for interdisciplinary research that connect Indological studies, environmental humanities, and sustainability science.
