Description

Acharya Prashant asserts that no true revolution is possible without the Gita, which he defines broadly as wisdom literature that uplifts consciousness from natural slavery to liberation. He explains that human beings are not born free; rather, birth itself is a state of bondage and slavery to biological impulses and physical limitations. Liberation is not a default state but something that must be actively attained through spiritual education. He highlights that even revolutionaries like Shri Subhas Chandra Bose and Shri Bhagat Singh, who are often viewed solely through a political or atheistic lens, were deeply rooted in spiritual scriptures and the Gita. This spiritual foundation provided them with the internal fire necessary for their external actions.
