A spiritual reverence towards nature is a key feature of many native and indigenous traditions. These traditions have now been recognised to be crucial in our goal to safeguard and sustain the planet. Many of these traditions hold the worldview that humans are part of the circle of life and are inextricably linked with the rest of nature as part and parcel of nature, rather than as masters of nature. Ancient Hindus believed that all living beings and non-living things are pervaded by a supreme consciousness and are intrinsically divine. We stand on holy ground. We view the trees, plants, birds, fish, air, water, rocks, ourselves and all elements of nature as consecrated and worthy of reverence and adoration and this worldview colours our actions and attitudes. Although this temple has Indic and Hindu roots, it is a place that anybody hailing from the many varied ancient indigenous traditions of the world will relate to. Mother Earth Hindu Temple is a place where the world can be educated on the many systems that place nature on a par with humanity. We are established as a new charity with a renewed focus to link faith with community activities promoting environment protection, sustainability and climate change.
