| Résumé: | In the face of growing fears concerning both the devastating consequences of policies and practices supportive of environmental degradation, and the sense that humanity has alienated itself from the very earth that sustains all life, increasing attention is being focused on spiritual solutions to this global crisis. In particular, the practices and values of historically pre-literate (often aboriginal), apparently "simpler" societies are being sought out as models for a healthier, more balanced and integrated way of life. Many indigenous peoples have held world views which ritually, mythically and practicatly acknowledge the interconnectedness of all living things and the sacrality of the earth itself. Certainly such a view has existed in various expressions in India. |
