ECOLOGY, COMMUNICATION AND ENVIRONMENT: Perspectives of the Vedic Philosophy

This book attempts to relate the environmental problems with patterns of our communication with nature. It is a comparative study of the Judaeo-Christian and Vedic worldviews and their articulations in the human communication with nonhuman world. The author explores the Vedic cosmology, metaphysics, concepts of Rta, dharma and yajna and extracts and systematizes them into the pattern of human communication with the nonhuman world with reference to the environmental ethics. So far as I know this is a unique work in the area of Vedic environmental philosophy. I hope the book will provide some valuable insights and it will inspire further studies in the area of Vedic environmental philosophy.
