Acharya Prashant explains that the obsession with big, fat Indian weddings is a manifestation of a subjugated consciousness that is enslaved to the body. He argues that while humans possess the capacity for higher conceptualization, they often live like animals, driven by bodily imperatives such as pleasure, security, and reproduction. Because marriage is the social institution that guarantees these animalistic desires, people celebrate it excessively. He describes weddings as the 'biggest festival of the body,' where society grants religious and legal license to basic biological functions under the guise of culture and respectability. He critiques the vulgarity of these celebrations, noting that they often center on the physical union of two people rather than any genuine human achievement. Acharya Prashant suggests that a more conscious society would instead celebrate intellectual or moral growth, such as mastering a difficult subject, finishing a great book, or overcoming physical limitations. He points out that the current focus on weddings leads to severe social issues, including farmer suicides due to wedding-related debt, female feticide to avoid future dowry expenses, and the systematic denial of equal education and property rights for women. Furthermore, he highlights the wastefulness of the wedding industry, which provides no real value to society but prospers by exploiting people's desire for social display. He asserts that the loud and glitzy nature of these events reflects a 'cancer' within society, where people pretend to be 'cultured beasts' rather than striving to transcend their animal nature. He concludes that true human evolution requires moving away from celebrating biological milestones and instead valuing the ascension of consciousness and the overcoming of worthy challenges.
