civic responsibility and quality of life?
Why are societies that may not share our spiritual traditions often able to practise some of the very values that we preach?
And if Kaliyuga represents a decline in righteousness, humanity and moral conduct, then why does it sometimes appear that people who have never even heard of Kaliyuga are living more peacefully than those who have spent generations discussing it?
Are our spiritual teachings flawed, are we interpreting them incorrectly, or have we simply failed to practise what we preach?
I would genuinely appreciate the perspectives of spiritual leaders on this. I ask this question not out of disrespect for our traditions, but because I believe that wisdom should ultimately make us better human beings, both individually and collectively.

My regards to all the spiritual leaders here. I have a genuine question that has been bothering me, and I thought Twitter would be the right place to ask it.
The ongoing situation in India is deeply disheartening. Watching people gather in Delhi over what appears to be a struggle for money, fame and political power makes me wonder how we have reached a point where these things seem to matter more than humanity itself. It feels like cats and dogs fighting over a piece of meat, while much bigger problems continue to be ignored.
We are a country of nearly 1.5 billion people, where millions still struggle for basic necessities, crime remains a serious concern, civic sense is often lacking, and the overall quality of life leaves much to be desired. And this is just one example among countless others. Sometimes, it genuinely feels as though Kaliyuga is unfolding right before our eyes.
But what confuses me the most is this: Why is a country that takes so much pride in its spirituality, ancient wisdom and religious diversity struggling so much with basic human values, compassion and harmony?
When I interact with people from European and other developed countries, I often find them living with greater peace of mind, better civic sense and more consideration for others. Of course, no society is perfect, and they have their own problems. But many seem to enjoy a healthier social environment, a better quality of life and a greater sense of everyday peace.
Sometimes, looking at the way these people live, I genuinely feel as though they are experiencing the kind of peaceful and harmonious life that our scriptures associate with Satya Yuga or Treta Yuga.
And the irony is that many of them may not even know what these Yugas mean or follow the spiritual traditions that we have spent centuries preserving. Yet, in their everyday lives, they often appear to practise values such as mutual respect, civic responsibility, honesty and consideration for others, values that our own spiritual teachings have emphasised for centuries.
Meanwhile, we are a civilisation that prides itself on being spiritually advanced, possessing profound philosophical wisdom and having understood the deeper truths of life long before much of the modern world. Yet, we continue to struggle with the very values that this wisdom is supposed to cultivate.
How is it that people who may know so little about our spiritual philosophy sometimes appear to be living its ideals, while those who take the greatest pride in possessing this wisdom struggle to practise it?
Have we mistaken knowing about spirituality for actually being spiritual?
Why have we made visiting temples, mosques and churches, offering flowers to deities and performing religious rituals such central parts of our spiritual lives, when the way we work, treat others, uphold integrity and contribute to society may be a far more meaningful expression of our faith?
I find it difficult to believe that God would value my rituals more than my honest work, my compassion towards another human being or my responsibility towards society. To me, work done with honesty, a sense of duty and the intention to contribute to the world feels like a form of devotion in itself.
The Bhagavad Gita speaks deeply about karma, duty, selflessness and righteous action. Our scriptures contain centuries of wisdom about life, human nature and the pursuit of truth. Yet, why does so little of this wisdom seem to translate into our collective behaviour?
I am not questioning whether our scriptures contain wisdom or whether spirituality has value. I am questioning why, despite having access to so much of this knowledge, we continue to struggle with the very things that this knowledge is supposed to help us overcome.
If India truly considers itself a civilisation that is spiritual, why aren't we setting a better example when it comes to human happiness, social harmony, compassion,.
Heading back to my village to be with my family during this moment of grief.
Saurav and Ashu will address a press conference shortly in Delhi.
The CJP will neither back down nor be intimidated.
October 10 will go down as the beginning of the end of this dictatorship.
Tragic medical negligence at Rajindra Hospital, Patiala! A young girl passed away shortly after receiving an injection following a bite from her vaccinated pet dog. Hundreds and thousands of cases like this happen in our country every day, and no one is held accountable. This is a country where criminals are safer than innocents!
The taxes hard-working citizens pay are meant for basic public services and life saving healthcare ,not to fund politicians' security, buy them luxury Mercedes cars, or send their children to abroad international boarding schools.
We urgently need strict rules, higher standards, and accountable doctors
• Doctors involved in such fatal negligence must be put in jail for the full given duration and have their medical licenses revoked permanently.
• Leaders, doctors, and authorities involved must issue an open written apology to the family, promising this will never happen again.
• While no amount of money can replace a life, the government must heavily compensate the grieving family
I mean idk why Indian Parents are educating there children to become doctors , engineers or designers or actors.
Make them learn how to do robberies , how to rape , how to murder , how to become smuggler. Coz India is the only country which is really a great place for criminals , commit a crime and Indian government wouldn't do anything about it. @AmitShah sir @narendramodi
Modi ji , kya kar rhe ho aap log 3rd tenure hai aapka , congress nae toh jo karna tha kia aap kya change leke aa paaye sir , apni party ko clean kia andar sae , laws strict kiae , health care bada kya , inflation kam hui , rozgar bada. Kuch nhi but haan crime rate hai country mae. Mtlb it's ok to have a Criminal nation like we have some other nations on planet too but accept that it's that way.
Also this is not against or in favour of any political party congress is also no good . I am not taking stand for anyone neither do i wanna get involved in anything but the one's who are in power i have to ask them . The things what you are doing any other cheap countries or political parties can also do the same. So what is the difference between you and them.
It's hard to say but i wanna be honest not at all Proud to be Indian. Where there is no value for the Human lives.
Thanks and No regards
