Acharya Prashant explains that what is called the common Hindu has no connection with the central books of their own religion, and this is the biggest threat to the religion at this time. He asserts that the primary danger to Sanatan Dharma, or Hindu Dharma, is not from other religions, but from Hindus themselves. The person who calls themselves a Hindu is one only in name. If you ask them how they are a Hindu, they will only have one thing to say: 'My parents are Hindu, so I am also a Hindu.' The meaning of being a Hindu has been reduced to celebrating Holi and Diwali or tying a Rakhi. The speaker emphasizes that religion has a philosophy and a perspective on life behind it, but a self-proclaimed Hindu cannot articulate this because they do not know. He questions how a religion can be called Vedic Dharma when its followers do not even have the Vedas in their homes. While it may not be necessary to read all the Vedas, one should at least bring home and read the extremely small and concise books that contain their highest philosophy, the Upanishads. Without reading or knowing them, one has no right to call themselves a Hindu, as the term becomes hollow and meaningless. He notes that today's generation is ignorant of even the Ramayana and Mahabharata, let alone the Upanishads. A perception is being created that these high scriptures have no special importance in religion. A whole cult is emerging that says there is no need to read. The common followers' belief in these cults is increasing, and they become followers of this or that 'Baba' or 'Gurudev'. The speaker claims that all these 'Babas' and 'Gurudevs' have one thing in common: they tell people not to read the books but to listen to them instead. He questions their fear of the scriptures, suggesting they are false and fear that people might read the true books. This leads to disrespect for the Gita and all scriptures, and the ones spreading this disrespect are the modern-day professional and commercial gurus. Their business will not run if people understand the Gita. They can only thrive as long as people are distant from Shri Krishna and Ashtavakra. The day you understand Shri Krishna and Ashtavakra, the guru's business will shut down because you will see that the guru is a number one fraud. Celebrating festivals or having a Hindu name does not make one a Hindu; one must know, read, and study the scriptures. Every home should have the words of the saints, the Kabir Sakhi Granth, a collection of Upanishads, the Shrimad Bhagavad Gita, and the Ashtavakra Gita. He clarifies that no one is asking for blind imitation of these texts, but for people to at least read them.
