Acharya Prashant addresses the environmental concerns regarding traditional funeral pyres, stating that the practice of using wood was established when trees were abundant and the human population was small. In the current age of billions, he asserts that cutting down living trees for the sake of the dead is both foolish and criminal. He advocates for modern alternatives like electric crematoriums, which are hassle-free and eco-friendly, and mentions the Parsi method of using towers of silence as an adaptive way to dispose of the dead. He emphasizes that while truth is unchangeable, rituals must adapt to the demands of the time. Acharya Prashant explains that a living religion is characterized by its flexibility and dynamism, defending its core truth while remaining elastic regarding external practices. In contrast, dead religions become rigid and resistant to change because they lack a connection to the truth and fear that any modification will lead to their demise. He suggests that being grounded in the unchangeable truth provides the confidence to freely change arrangements, forms, and names. He concludes by advising seekers to focus on the essence of the Sanatana religion rather than getting lost in polluted rituals or the external activities found at religious sites like Varanasi.
