CONCEPT OF ECOLOGY IN SUKLA YAJURVEDA
Abstract
The Sukla Yajurveda, an ancient text, contains hymns
that offer insights into human interactions with the environment,
flora, and fauna. The text reflects ecological awareness and
reverence for nature, as well as the interconnectedness of
humans and the natural world. The study aims to explore the
ecological aspects of the Sukla Yajurveda and its relevance to
contemporary environmental issues. The research problem
addresses the need to understand ancient perspectives on
ecology and their implications for modern environmental
sustainability. The research design involves an analysis of the
text's ecological references and their cultural context. The
participants are the ancient seers and their interactions with the
natural environment. The context encompasses the Vedic period
and the societal norms of that time. The findings reveal the deep
ecological understanding of the ancient seers, emphasizing the
interconnectedness of humans, flora, and fauna. The
implications of the study highlight the importance of
maintaining a harmonious relationship with nature for physical
and mental well-being.
