Environment and human existence, being fundamental components of the same ecosystem, are highly intertwined because of their continued interactions. As we stand today in 21st century, mankind is looking back to the ecological disbalance caused by its rapid and complex sociological transformation, viz., large scale urbanization and industrialization grounded on greed and short- sightedness. A careful analysis of the cultural legacy left behind many traditions across the globe suggests revisiting our age old spiritual and cultural practices which are based on simple life style.
Vedic tradition counts earth as one of our seven mothers. Even in our great spiritual tradition, Bhagavat Gita, different components of our ecosystem are attributed with divinity to them and all living beings including trees and animals are supposed to be carrying the particle of divinity. So, a culture of respect and care was automatically built into the very fabric of simple life style in bygone ages. Thus, spiritual culture based on simple life style practices was a highly sustainable model of ecological balance.
In order to create a timely awareness of such a crucial issue, International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) Delhi along with its scientific research wing Institute for Science and Spirituality (ISS) are organizing a virtual international conference titled “Sustainability, Spirituality and Simplicity (3S): Environmental sustainability redefined through simple life practices and integrated spirituality ” from 22nd and 23rd May 2021.
