Sažetak

This paper presents the relation between man and nature in world religions. This study proceeds from (builds form) religious traditions about the origins of the world in Hinduism, Buddism, Hebraism, Christianity and Islam. With the first man's sin the balans of the relation between the man and the nature has been seriously disrupted. Acting irresponsibly destroys the world every day and endangeres the very life itself. According to religious traditions, at the beginning the unity and harmony reigned among all the creatures. Man aspires after (seeks) that primal (primodial) paradisical state even today. The stated religions offer integral (unitary) solutions for overcoming the ecological (environmental) crisis.
Hinduism especially emphasizes the way of love bhakti–marga and moral activity (effects) karma–marga. Buddhism in order to accomplish unity and harmony of all nature demands from man to overcome his egoism. The Hebrew Old–Testament tradition brings to consciousness the original understanding of key biblical expressions subjugate and reign. Subjugate means to cultivate the Eart and nurture it fortunately for both (to mutual happiness and contentment) and reign we should by cherishing and protection the life to the utmost.
Jesus in the New Testament testifies for man with the example how we should cinsistently perscvere in refuting the dependence on natural resources that is on nature. Islam holds man responsible for the fate of Allah's creature. That is why he has to direct special attention on his actions.
These solutions offered by different religion are the basis of thorought changes in relation between man and nature.
