ABSTRACT

This chapter discusses how traditional knowledge-based climate change solutions can benefit Western science and why we must advocate for it. The Sarvajnapeeta ecosystem provides the ambiance and has the means through Nijavatara and Archavatara to establish a pathway for hyper-specialization. The Sarvajnapeeta ecosystem serves an essential purpose of providing safe space for those exploring the conscious expression which often results in seeking solutions for problems the humanity faces. Concerned that the estimated rates of burnout were reported to be above 40%, they set out to identify phenomena to provide suitable intervention. The responsibility of running a Sarvajnapeeta is divided among several Varnas – a group of hyper-specialized individuals with expertise in their field. The Varna system allows flexibility based on an individual’s activism and choice of activities to meet their ambitions. In the job market, becoming specialized differentiates individuals from the pool and can provide unique employment opportunities.
