Abstract:<\/strong> This research undertakes a profound exploration of the philosophical foundations of Deep Ecology\u2014a contemporary environmental ethic\u2014and seeks to illuminate its striking consonance with the ancient nondualistic (Advaita) worldview articulated within India\u2019s sacred scriptures. Originating with Arne N\u00e6ss in 1973, Deep Ecology asserts the intrinsic value and equal significance of all living and non-living entities in the natural world, challenging anthropocentric perspectives that prioritize human interests above those of other beings. Far from being a novel or isolated ideology, this ethical vision resonates deeply with the timeless Vedic understanding of the cosmos as a unified whole, where apparent diversity is but an expression of an underlying singular reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By drawing extensively from the Rigveda, the Upanishads, and other classical Indian texts, this study aims to reveal how the core ethical imperatives of Deep Ecology\u2014such as biocentric equality, ecological interdependence, and the dissolution of the self-other divide\u2014are fundamentally embedded in India\u2019s spiritual and philosophical traditions. The Vedic ethos, which emphasizes the interconnectedness of all life and the sacredness of the natural world, provides a rich and nuanced framework that both complements and enriches modern ecological thought. In doing so, this research not only traces the continuity between ancient wisdom and contemporary environmental ethics but also underscores the enduring relevance of Indian philosophy as a source of inspiration and guidance for addressing the pressing ecological challenges of our time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
