abstract
Living in harmony with Nature has been an integral part of Indian culture. This has been abundantly reflected in a variety of traditional practices, religious beliefs, rituals, and in the daily lives of the Indian people from time immemorial. Hinduism has always been an environmentally sensitive philosophy. The rishis of the past have always had a great respect for nature. As we are growing more materialistic, we are losing this connection. Hindu knowledge preaches Man to live in harmony with nature. Bhoomi Suktam or Hymn describes the beauty of Mother Earth and imparts lessons regarding the attitude a person must cultivate towards the environment. Hinduism teaches to preserve and protect the environment, not to pollute it. The Shantipath is also connected the Hindu with nature. This paper seek to analyse the Knowledge of Environment in Hinduism.
