SPIRITUAL DIMENSIONS OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT : AS GLEANED THROUGH THE LENS OF HINDU RELIGIOUS SCRIPTURES BY PROF. I.D. GUPTA (HARDCOVER)

Spiritual Dimensions of Sustainable Development: As Gleaned Through the Lens of Hindu Religious Scriptures by Prof. I. D. Gupta explores the relationship between spirituality, ethical values, environmental responsibility, and sustainable development through the teachings and philosophical insights found in Hindu religious scriptures.

The book examines how ancient Hindu thought addresses questions of human responsibility toward nature, harmony between individuals and society, responsible consumption, conservation of natural resources, compassion, self-discipline, and the interconnectedness of all living beings. It presents sustainability not merely as an economic or environmental concern, but also as a matter of moral and spiritual consciousness.

Drawing upon the ideas and principles contained in Hindu scriptures, the work considers concepts such as dharma, karma, ahimsa, self-restraint, ecological harmony, duty, and reverence for nature and relates them to contemporary challenges of sustainable development. It highlights how spiritual values can encourage lifestyles and social practices that are more respectful of the environment and future generations.

The book offers an interdisciplinary perspective connecting religion, philosophy, environmental studies, ethics, and sustainable development. It is particularly useful for students, teachers, researchers, and readers interested in Hindu philosophy, environmental ethics, sustainability, spirituality, and the cultural foundations of ecological responsibility.
