Acharya Prashant responds to a question about why he does not appear like a typical religious teacher (Dharma Guru). He begins by stating that people do not need a religious teacher but a cultural teacher (Sanskriti Guru), one who teaches the culture of their ancestors and behaves according to the image people hold in their minds. He explains that he could adopt the attire and mannerisms of a traditional guru, but doing so would send the message that the audience's current way of life is perfectly fine. If he were to act according to their expectations, it would imply that they are so correct that even he is following them. This, he argues, would be a disservice, as it would remove any need for them to change. He uses the example of dying birds to illustrate the dire consequences of not changing. He questions whether he should respect an ancestral legacy that people cling to out of attachment (moh) and ego (ahankar) without understanding, or focus on the real-world problems. He points out that the attachment is often rooted in personal ego, such as, "My father used to do this, so how can I consider it wrong?" He asserts that his life has been lived "outrageously," and had it not been so, he would not be able to speak on these matters today. The result of his life, he says, is that he is now able to advance Vedanta in India, which proves he has lived correctly. He warns that people who get glimpses of his life often start to lament, and they should not have any expectations of him. He has not respected any custom, tradition, or culture; instead, he has respected Ram, Shri Krishna, and worshipped Vedanta. Acharya Prashant clarifies that he is not a religious teacher in the conventional sense because what people call 'religion' is not religion, and who they call 'guru' is not a guru. To become a religious teacher in their eyes would be fatal for them. He explains that the word 'Yudhyasva' (fight/struggle) from the Gita is central to his work. It means to become free from feverish excitement (vigat-jwar), without hope (nirashi), and without attachment (nirmamo), and then to fight. This is what Shri Krishna told Arjun: fight not for personal gain but because it is your duty (dharma), without expecting anything in return. He connects this to the current environmental crisis, stating that the battle is already lost, but the fight must continue. He mentions his four main areas of work: Vedanta, animal welfare (veganism), women's empowerment, and youth guidance. He concludes by stating he has taken his initiation directly from the Upanishads, which do not forbid wearing a sweatshirt. Therefore, if anyone wishes to judge him, they should first check if the Upanishads forbid his actions.
