Abstract

Certain existential challenges facing mankind are increasingly impacting people in multiple locations, whatever their nationality, religion or political beliefs and regardless of personal, organisational and community goals and aspirations and priorities. As more people recognise a shared interest in survival and join in collective action to address them, there might be more unity of purpose and a greater alignment of influencing factors and previously contending interests. Addressing climate change may become a priority goal for people, organisations, communities and societies around the world. Whether the result of an inherent drive for survival, a rational calculation reflecting a current situation and available options, or a desire for a more balanced, harmonious and sustainable relationship with the natural world, momentum may be building for collaboration and collective action in conformance with Indian ancient wisdom. If we are to benefit from it, relevant ancient wisdom needs to be protected, classified, interpreted, reviewed and applied.
