Synopsis: “Yatha pinde tatha brahmande, yatha brahmande yatha pinde”is a verse from “Yajur Veda” which is one of the ancient Indian Sanskrit texts among 4 Vedic texts and means: as is the individual so is the universe, as is the universe so is the individual. This documentary introduce Ecospirituality through the words of Shridev Jasnath Asan Surajnath Siddh, 12th and current head monk of Shri Jasnath Asan in Panchla Siddha, Rajasthan , the Bishnoi Tribe, considered the first environmentalists of India, crossing Tradition Ayurvedic physician and villagers. Healing occurs when we perceive or relation with Nature to be non dualistic. Ecospirituality is a term reffering to the spiritual connection between human being and the environment seeking to prove the inherent value and interdependence of all human being. If we connect with the nature we connect with the spirituality which teach us the the no violence. People destroy Nature because they perceive the relationship with it in a dualistic way. We need to understand how we have gradually moved away from our responsibilities as stewards of the environment and become comfortable with the destruction we witness on a daily basis. The current the environmental crisis is a symptom of an anthropocentric delusion which imagines the world to be resources for human use. All ecological problems have common roots in a denial of the Earth as a living system, animals and plants like living being. Humans thinks themself like superior. People can not directly connecting their compromised health, to the environmental degradation occurring all around them. A separation from Nature causes a breakdown in the human physiology and psychology because we are interconnected. We are the only species on the planet actively developing innovative mechanism of self-destruction. How we are positioned in the world, and how we move through the world is a reflection of the evolution we have accomplished internally.
