FROM BIOPHILIA TO THEOPHILIA: KINSHIP WITH NATURE THROUGH SACRED SCRIPTURES
Vol. 50 No. 2 (2025)The ecological crisis is not merely scientific or political; it is, at its core, a spiritual predicament. Our journey from biophilia to theophilia invites us to recognize the Earth as an eco-sanctuary worthy of protection grounded in love, values and reverence. Eco-sanctuaries cannot be sustained by sentiment or ritual alone, just as technical solutions cannot succeed without moral foundations. The true challenge lies not in choosing between sanctuary and sacrifice, but in discerning what must be surrendered to safeguard what is essential. In this sense, Green Sacrifice does not signify the destruction of nature but the courageous refusal to participate in its destruction. It is an ethical commitment to protect creation even when such fidelity demands restraint, justice and the abandonment of harmful conveniences. Eco-sanctuaries thus emerge as ethical classrooms—spaces where scripture encounters science and reverence shapes responsibility. As humanity confronts the uncertainties of the Anthropocene, embracing Green Sacrifice offers a path of hope. It reframes ecological action as a sacred responsibility rooted in kinship with all beings and calls cultures and faith traditions into collaborative care for our shared home. May this edition of the Journal of Dharma awaken such moral imagination, deepen ecological wisdom and contribute to a spiritually grounded ethic for the flourishing of life on Earth.

CORRIDORS OF POWER: A SUBALTERN SOCIO-RELIGIOUS AND PHILOSOPHICAL VOYAGE
Vol. 50 No. 1 (2025)Power, a concept with profound religious, social, and philosophical significance, permeates every facet of human existence. Democracy unfolds political power; health embodies bodily power and money signifies economic power. Physical, nuclear, electrical, and thermal forces illustrate diverse manifestations of power. Words, thoughts, actions, speech, and literature wield immense power, demonstrated repeatedly throughout history. Some relinquish all worldly possessions in pursuit of spiritual and divine power, while psychologists emphasize the importance of mental prowess. Nature exhibits its own manifestations of power, echoing through the forces of the cosmic world, while legal power asserts its authority in the realm of judicial systems, establishing social order and justice. In the virtual realm, soft power emerges as a subtle yet influential force in global interactions. We present scholarly contributions exploring the intricate nuances of political, ethical, social and religious power to unpack the dynamics of power corridors, examining how they empower and depower individuals, communities, and nations
