A Hindu Ecological Liberation Theology: Radical Divine Immanence, Sakti, and the Living World

The first book-length exposition of a comprehensive Hindu ecological theology rooted in the intimate experience of the tradition itself. This is the first systematic constructive, Hindu ecological theology, grounded in Shakta philosophy and theological traditions, drawing upon Hindu philosophical principles, sacred texts, and expansive theological reflection. It develops an original ecological vision of Radical Divine Immanence, a world that is alive, agentic, and suffused with awareness.What if the living world is not merely a creation or emanation of a higher source, but a dynamic self-disclosure of divine life? How does one live ethically, in relation to others and the Earth, if the Divine is radically, organically, and intelligibly immanent within existence? Engaging environmental humanities, Hindu philosophy, ecofeminist ethics, and contemporary science, Rita D. Sherma presents a liberative vision in which embodiment, ecological care, justice, and planetary flourishing become sacred imperatives.
