From a Vedic perspective, one might not see any benefits of our modern world with what’s clearly   witnessed as increased materialism and exploitation , with wealth for the very few and poverty for the rest internationally.

Initially, the industrial revolution was hailed as a great wonder for mankind , it made claims of alleviating poverty and civilising mankind who were engrossed in nature living lives not much more  further progressed than the proverbial Darwinian caveman . It has  progressed to the  current technological ages of fast internet communication , perhaps some good can be seen hadn’t it been tainted with original exploitative motives and methods at its heart and   greed stoking conflicts,  it appears to have no real sharing concepts .

Instead of sharing in the technological innovations that could well  bring  benefits to everyone and every country of the world , its instead hampered by fake leaders with little sense of decency and a business model of  ” intoxicated greed ” . There is no  foresight or  even a wish  to carefully balance the needs of man , all creatures, and the environments we all need for healthy good living for all beings . Thus, the whole vision  has gotten of hand and is heading for disaster, and no one knows how to stop it .

Actually, there are great benefits to be had of  of opening up the world where cultures are shared, and comparisons can be seen in every aspect of those  education systems and cultures . Many persons currently are being fooled  and exploited by a so-called intelligensia , while the real intelligensia are silenced . Sharing cultures can be highly beneficial. For instance,  the perverted caste systems in India  or the class systems of the English empire are now clearly seen to be bias, after all you are what you are , not which family you are born into . Mass education has helped everyone and should be in place for everyone, which promotes naturally social mobility.

So , there are benefits and downfalls of modern living , but  the two can be harmonized with a balanced and fair approach .That is easily achieved when the genuine and sensitive intelligentsia direct everything . The original purpose of the Vedas is clear ,  matters of scientific studies , sociology , balanced economics , justice,  philosophical and religious progression are essential and should always be ongoing and progressive and systematically taught .

Everyone is searching after good leadership and hankering for  a just society with mature outlooks to  all matters of science and religion and  matters of political affairs . The Vedas have much to offer , and shortly , a new Renaissance period will begin , actually, it’s  began ,  education  of body , mind, and consciousness that everyone needs and will be satisfied with.
