Abstract
This article examines the potential for an Indian paradigm of sacred ecosophy, also known as ecotheosophy, within the broader context of contemporary global environmental discourse. We critically survey how Indian philosophical and religious traditions, which recognise nature as a divine manifestation, could offer a unique eco(theo)sophical framework emphasising the spiritual interconnectedness between humans and the natural world. This Indian model of sacred ecosophy (a philosophy of ecological harmony) proposes a complementary spiritual narrative infused with ethical motivations for environmental conservation. Through an analysis of Amitav Ghosh's The Hungry Tide and Jungle Nama , our article argues that a distinct Indian paradigm of sacred ecosophy can be reconceptualised by drawing from spiritual and cultural traditions that have long codified nature as holy, and thus deeply interwoven with human life. Our findings suggest that such a paradigm would be holistic by merging ecological consciousness with spiritual and philosophical traditions to address contemporary environmental challenges.
