In India, Bollywood is an integral part of our culture, and many of us grow up watching the latest releases, humming to the catchy tunes and imitating the dance moves. But over the years, it has become increasingly apparent that the secular narrative in Bollywood is eroding the values and beliefs that we hold dear as followers of Sanatana Dharma.
While cinema and drama were once used for glorifying God and portraying spiritual stories of the Puranas, Bollywood has become a proponent of irreligion, liberalism, and sexuality. It has become a platform for promoting western values, normalizing immoral behavior, and ridiculing traditional Indian values.
Unfortunately, this trend is influencing the minds of young people and our future generation, making them more susceptible to the corrupting influence of western culture. The consequences of this can be seen in the way our youth are abandoning their cultural heritage and embracing materialistic values.
The solution to this problem lies in the teachings of the Bhagavad Gita, which is the ultimate guide to living a fulfilling and purposeful life. The Gita teaches us to recognize our true nature as spiritual beings, to develop our relationship with God, and to live a life of meaning and purpose.
It is important that we read the Bhagavad Gita and teach our children about it from a young age. By doing so, we can help protect them from the harmful influence of Bollywood and other forces with vested interests that seek to weaken our faith in Sanatana Dharma.
Let us strive to keep our faith strong, and to protect our cultural heritage for the sake of our future generations. Together, we can ensure that our children grow up with a strong sense of identity, and with the values and beliefs that will guide them towards a life of meaning and purpose.
In conclusion, it is important for us to be mindful of the media and entertainment we consume, and to recognize their potential impact on our spiritual beliefs and values. While Bollywood may offer entertainment, it may not always align with the principles of Sanatana Dharma. To strengthen our understanding and faith in these principles, we can turn to the timeless wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita. Our Gita Gyan course provides a structured and practical approach to studying the Gita and applying its teachings to our daily lives. By taking this step, we can deepen our connection to our spiritual roots and live a more fulfilling and purposeful life.
