Panchakosha vs Maslow: Life Fulfillment vs Livelihood Motivation Beharay, Ambar. V. This paper examines the conceptual, philosophical, and empirical distinctions between the Indian philosophical framework of Panchakosha and Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, two influential models for understanding human motivation and fulfillment. While Maslow’s model has become a cornerstone in Western psychology, management studies, and organizational behavior for explaining how individuals progress through needs related to survival, safety, social belonging, esteem, and self-actualization, it has been critiqued for limited empirical support, cultural bias, and a narrow focus on livelihood-oriented goals. Contemporary research suggests that human motivation is more dynamic and less strictly hierarchical than originally proposed. In contrast, Panchakosha, rooted in the Taittiriya Upanishad, offers a holistic framework that conceptualizes human existence as five interrelated sheaths — physical (Annamaya), vital energy (Pranamaya), mental or emotional (Manomaya), intellectual (Vijnanamaya), and blissful (Anandamaya) — mapping both psychological and spiritual dimensions of human life. Empirical studies in Indian psychology indicate correlations between Panchakosha dimensions and psychological well-being, pointing to its relevance in contemporary understanding of health, mindfulness, and personality development. This paper argues that while Maslow’s model effectively describes motivational processes that support functional living and livelihood, Panchakosha transcends this by addressing the meaning of life itself, integrating material, cognitive, emotional, and transcendental aspects. Through structural, philosophical, and functional comparisons, the study demonstrates that Panchakosha offers a more comprehensive vision of human fulfillment, especially in contexts that value self-knowledge, inner harmony, and existential fulfillment. Findings have implications for cross-cultural psychology, wellbeing studies, and integrative human development models.

The Green Imperative: Financing A Sustainable Future Jagtap, Manisha Vikas; Shedge, Manisha; Duggal, Davender; Shitole, Vrushali M; Shitole, Mahesh V.; Duggal, Meenakshi Green finance refers to the introduction of novel instruments, methods, and policies that are intended to incentivize the financial industry to appropriately take climate and environmental aspects into account when managing financial risk and making investment decisions. The growing impact of global warming is illustrated in the Sustainable Goal Report 2022, which details increasing challenges such as depletion of the ozone layer, global warming, rising pollution levels, intense competition for limited non-renewable energy sources, and other environmental issues. This emphasizes the necessity of making the green transition away from fossil fuels, which are vulnerable to supply outages and volatility, and towards renewable sources of energy like wind and solar. As a result, every stakeholder are becoming more aware of the need to safeguard the environment and preserve natural resources. Green finance seeks to strike a balance between human behavior and the environment. No single definition of green financing applies to all nations and regions because the shift to a lower- carbon economy requires various and extensive transformations. Nonetheless, the common theme of green finance is investment that fosters a low-carbon, climate-resilient economy. This means that green finance is any structured financial activity - a product or service - designed to have a positive impact on the environment. It is a collection of loans, debt instruments, and investments used to support the development of green projects, reduce the environmental impact of more conventional enterprises, or a mix of the two. As the risks associated with environmentally harmful goods and services increase, green finance is starting to gain traction
