Abstract: The world is witnessing environmental upheaval the world over. There seems to be the total disconnect with the nature which gets manifested in the form of climate change, global warming and natural disasters. Although man himself is responsible for the same where he is trying to win over nature recklessly but, his own existence is under potent danger. Indian civilization, one of the oldest living civilizations, has staunchly believed in being in harmony with the nature. Our ancient literature is replete with instances where human sensitivity towards nature is glorified at its best. The Vedic, Jain, Buddhist, and Kautilya’s Arthshashtra established the principles of sustainability centuries ago. This research paper primarily focuses on those ecologically sustainable principles which the man seems to have forgotten today. If they are followed, the ecology will move sustainably and not only present, but future generations can also enjoy nature in its original vigor.
