Acharya Prashant asserts that Vedic religion, specifically Vedanta, is the pinnacle of truth and is entirely free from superstition. He criticizes the current state of Hindu society for becoming a stronghold of regressive cultural practices and superstitions that contradict the teachings of the Upanishads. He emphasizes that the Upanishads are the central pillars of the faith, and if a practice like the oppression of women is not supported by them, it should not be followed. He laments that while the ancient Rishis taught that the self is not the body and that gender is irrelevant to the soul, modern culture has created rigid, discriminatory rules for men and women, leading to severe issues like female foeticide and malnutrition.
