Ecology as depicted in the Vedas: It’s Relevance in Modern times

Abstract

It is widely known that the Vedas are the oldest scriptures in the worlds. These are known as the divine or origin. These Vedas contain systematic scientific knowledge as well as knowledge of the creation of the world. Every type of eternal knowledge is available in these Vedas. Hence, Manu says: sarva jñānomayo hi saḥ. (Manusmṛti, II.7). It is known from the ancient Vedic times that the nature and human being form an inseparable part of life support system. This is what that reflects the concept of the present-day Ecology.
