Video Information: 02.09.25, Public Session (PES University), Bengaluru Title: The Violence Hidden Behind Our Festivals || Acharya Prashant, PES University, Goa (2025) ➖➖➖➖➖➖ Description: In this video, Acharya Ji exposes the hypocrisy of worship during Navratri and other festivals. He explains how Indians worship women as goddesses, cows as Gau Mata, and rivers as mothers, yet simultaneously exploit, harass, pollute, and destroy them. Acharya Ji points out that this happens because people worship without understanding, reducing rituals to hollow traditions. True worship, he says, is only possible with understanding of Prakriti, not through shallow rituals. Festivals without philosophy, Acharya Ji warns, become nothing more than noise, pollution, and violence disguised as devotion.
