Ecology
The Dhārmika relationship with the natural world is not environmentalism added onto a pre-existing value system — it is built into the metaphysical foundation. If all of creation is a modulation of a single consciousness, then the degradation of a river or a forest is not merely a practical problem but an ontological one: a diminishment of the sacred itself. Bodha’s ecology research sits at the intersection of the Indic tradition and thinkers like James Lovelock (Gaia theory) and EO Wilson (biodiversity), who arrived at broadly similar conclusions through different routes. The practical question is whether Hindu civilization’s traditional ecological wisdom — embedded in festivals, land management practices, and sacred groves — can be recovered and articulated as a living alternative to industrial extractivism.
