"Fiction writers and religious prophets have for long spoken of the end of the world. Unfortunately now we seem to be inching towards it, silently but surely. We have been caught in a vortex of the end-game of the earth making the problem of ecology paramount today. A religion exercises the greatest power on the human psyche, it is necessary to draw upon the wisdom of religion to instil in man the importance of ecology. This book is the first of its kind in India because it asserts emphatically that in our age religions have been misused for drawing sustenance and propagation of religious fundamentalism and narrow sectarian outlook full of zingoism but religions truely preach concepts of true brotherhood, fellow feeling and respect for each other. One of the most significant dimension of all religions has been the assertion of the precept that man and nature are inextricably connected with each other for survival and therefore each can use the other avoid misusing each other. What, however, is happening around us is just the contrary of this concept and the result is alarming. The book adumbrates on textual interpretation of all religions that there should be a happy balance between use and misuse of the two." (jacket).
