A Hindu Ecological Liberation Theology

What if “reverence” for the Earth is foundational, and this sense of sacrality is conveyed in diverse theological, sacramental, and liturgical forms in our religious traditions?

This is the first book-length exposition of a comprehensive Hindu ecological theology rooted in the intimate experience of the tradition itself. It is a search through Hinduism's sacred texts and reception history, the rhythms of its liturgical life, its contemplative practices, and theological cosmovisión, for the purposes of inspiring ecological consciousness and care.

Written for students and scholars in scholars in religious and South Asian studies, this book will also be essential reading for Hindu, gender and environmental studies.
