The Principles of Dharma and Sustainable Development: Lessons from the Srimad Bhagavad Gita

Author(s) Dr. Deepak, Dr. Anoop, JAYESH
Country India
Abstract The Srimad Bhagavad Gita is a classic Indian philosophical work par excellence. There is sufficient wisdom in this relevant to modern-day problems, especially regarding sustainable development. The term dharma is the central theme of its teachings. Dharma means duty and righteousness and encompasses inherent principles upholding the cosmic order. This article explains the principles of dharma listed for a timelessness framework towards sustainable development achievable by establishing this equilibrium of human requirements on ecological conservation and social justice through Gita's verses. The Gita advocates living in harmony with all people and nature. The lokasangraha principle or the well-being of all aligns with the worldwide objectives of sustainability, which entails a sense of personal responsibility and action to make the world better for everyone. It educates one to practice and live in ways that are not detrimental to the environment but also equitable in the distribution of resources.
This will introduce nishkama karma, an ethical approach to sustainability: deeds of duty, not for personal benefit. One of the foundational principles is the anti-consumerist attitude, thus conservative, minimalist, and finally harmonizing nature ecologically in the long term. The principle of yajna (sacrifice) refers to mutual exchange relations, whereby man sees himself as the custodian of the earth, keeping the level of consumption on the scale of balance with the level of regeneration.
