  • Summary

  • Sarna Religion: A Connection with Nature and Indigenous Beliefs --- The Sarna religion, also known as the "Sarna Dharma," is an indigenous faith followed by many Adivasi (tribal) communities in central and eastern India, particularly in states like Jharkhand, Odisha, Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, and West Bengal. This belief system is rooted in the deep connection between nature and human life, and it represents the spiritual practices, cultural heritage, and environmental values of these indigenous communities. Sarna followers are often referred to as "nature worshippers" because they honor and worship the elements of nature as sacred. 1. Meaning of Sarna and Its Core Beliefs The word "Sarna" comes from the local languages spoken by these communities and generally means "sacred grove" or "holy place in the forest." A Sarna is a place where people gather to worship trees, rivers, hills, and other natural elements. For followers of the Sarna faith, nature is not just a resource; it is the embodiment of divine forces and ancestors. Their belief system is based on the idea that all aspects of nature—trees, mountains, rivers, animals—are sacred, interconnected, and should be respected. Sarna adherents typically believe in the existence of a supreme spirit or creator who is responsible for all life. However, they don’t typically worship anthropomorphic deities or idols like in mainstream Hinduism. Instead, they recognize "Buru Bonga" or "Bonga," spiritual entities that inhabit nature and govern their lives. Worship practices often revolve around nature itself, which is seen as a manifestation of these spirits.
