Advaita Metaphysics and Environmental Sustenance

Jagadish, M. Murala

Abstract: Ecological crisis is a felt need in our times. There has been much research and debate as to how to come out this crisis. This essay is an attempt to bring out the reverence to nature as God’s body. Advaita philosophy of Śankara is known for its theory of Mithya (Illusion). But if we analyze his metaphysics we get a completely new picture and that is God (Brahman) Himself (Itself) is nature. It is mystical in nature. Advaita philosophy goes beyond any particular religion. Therefore the attitude of this philosophy can be a way out of the crisis.

Keywords: Indian Philosophy, Advaita, Metaphysics of Advaita, Environmental Crisis, Mystical Experience.
