Literature: A Powerful Tool for Developing Environmental Sense

Literature has always played a vital role in developing environmental sense and creating awarenessin society for Nature and environment.

From the very ancient Epics like Ramayana, Mahabharata, Shivapurana or Krishnaleela, we find rich descriptions related to Nature and natural beauty. The description of God Shankar sitting on Kailas mountain with Nandi (Calf) by his side; a large snake around his neck and river Ganga flowing out through his top of the head or God Krishna playing on his flute; a peacocks feather in his hair; grazing his cows in forest; all these put forth the great company and correlation of Nature and man. The great poet Kalidasa in ancient India had also brought vivid description of Nature in his famous poetic drama ‘Meghdoot’.
