Description

Acharya Prashant criticizes the traditional, ostentatious wedding culture, describing it as a vulgar display of physical relationships and a mechanism for seeking social and religious validation. He argues that the relationship between a man and a woman is intensely personal and should not require a public license or the sanction of five thousand guests. He explains that grand weddings are often driven by fear and the need to prove to society that a relationship is 'legitimate' to avoid future objections. He suggests that true union is a matter of the heart and consciousness, where the only necessary witness is the Truth or Shri Krishna. He advocates for simple marriages that respect the privacy and dignity of the individuals involved, rather than turning the event into a public exhibition of the body. Addressing the concerns of a parent in Canada regarding early sex education, Acharya Prashant distinguishes between biological knowledge and wisdom. He asserts that providing sex education is beneficial as it imparts factual knowledge about the body, which should not be feared or treated as a scandal. However, he notes that the lack of 'Wisdom Education' is a significant deficiency in modern schooling. He advises parents to provide this wisdom at home through high-quality literature and spiritual teachings like the Bhagavad Gita. He also points out the hypocrisy in Indian morality, which is often scandalized by public displays of affection while ignoring deeper issues of pretense and population growth. He encourages developing a mature consciousness in children so they can make their own informed decisions.
