In purva ashrama a professor and a doctorate holder; for the last 30 yrs a Vedantin Sanyasi, a jnanamargi who leads a life of austerity and `Dhyana`.Believes that Hinduism is all inclusive and harmonious and Karma Yoga, yogic practices, `Bhakthianushtanams and rituals`, and transcendental meditations are all different stages to attain ultimate Spirituality , the most exalted end of human life. Though apolitical, I am inclined to warn that the present generation in India is encouraged to orient themselves toward crass monetary materialism by the rulers who forget that unlike other nations INDIA stands atop not by her GDP OR MARKET ECONOMY but by her Philosophy derived from her holistic Religion and spiritual precepts.
