Acharya Prashant addresses a concern regarding the viral fame of a child singing a crude adult song and the subsequent recognition by a Chief Minister. He explains that child psychology dictates that the influences a child encounters before the age of ten significantly shape their entire life. Exposing children to vulgar or adult-oriented content can lead to lifelong mental distortion. Referring to the Bhagavad Gita, he highlights Shri Krishna's teaching to Arjuna that fame and reputation are serious matters because society inevitably emulates those who are famous. Therefore, the quickest way to ruin a society is to popularize individuals who lack merit or excellence. He criticizes the media for ignoring child prodigies in sports, literature, and spirituality while promoting mediocre or tasteless content. He notes that while children in other countries achieve greatness in the Olympics or military service, the current trend in India encourages children to seek fame through superficial and often inappropriate social media performances. Acharya Prashant argues that this 'fame' is often manufactured by apps and media platforms for profit, creating a cycle where parents push their children into vulgarity for recognition. He concludes by urging leaders, celebrities, and the media to be responsible, warning that glorifying the wrong role models will lead to the intellectual and moral decline of the nation.
