Acharya Prashant explains the fundamental relationship between culture and religion, defining culture as the social and familial inheritance of behavior, architecture, and social conduct. He argues that ideally, culture should be rooted in religion, where religion signifies spiritual awakening and self-knowledge rather than mere rituals. However, in the modern context, culture has become detached from religion and is instead based on tradition and blind imitation of ancestors. This lack of a spiritual foundation makes culture weak and susceptible to external influences like westernization and consumerism. He emphasizes that true culture should serve as a medium to express spiritual truth at a social level, but it has currently devolved into a tool for sensory gratification and ego-driven pride.
