Abstract

Biophilia Hypothesis talks about the inherent affinity that human beings possess for nature and other living organisms. From the day God created the world and human beings He wanted him to live along with nature and that is why he kept him in the Garden of Eden to protect it and enjoy spending his time in the lap of nature. But man disobeyed God and was driven out of the Garden of Eden. Even after that God wanted him to toil in the land and earn for his livelihood. So it is the divine purpose that man has to live in connection with nature. Biophilia hypothesis suggests the fact that man’s well being is closely knit with his relationship with nature. People who live closer to nature are having a strong psyche and physic. Nature teaches them and they learn from nature and so they are physically and emotionally matured. This paper studies the fact the life of the villagers on the banks of the rivers or the shores of the sea are very much strongly connected to nature. Whether it is life or death they cannot be separated from nature. Their lives are so closely intertwined with nature and that is what, is the prime focus of biophilia hypothesis.
