Keep everything simple and localised all economics should be based on these principles, local , community based , regionally based , nationally based , centralised economics and world global economics bring unnecessary industrialisation and excessive energy usage , big men with excessive greed are the origins of unnecessary and increasing needs for energy supplies. Reshaping economics and reshaping peoples needs occurs naturally when dualism is properly reflected upon. There are the needs of the body and the needs of consciousness, the intelligentsia know how societies function best in healthy ways physically, mentally and philosophically leading to consciousness elevation and the obvious self evident truth of the equality of all beings leading to reforms in values. The power of horses, the power of bulls the power of waves and the power of the wind ,and the flowing rivers are ample suppliers of energies for local economies.
This will be a future .
This is Vedic Economics.
Bike lanes everywhere, why not , horse carriages reintroduced, why not , bulls, and horses driving turbines for localised power can be a future , excessive and unnecessary greed driven economics leads to the world we see today , its being laid waste with wars , killing and exploitation . There is no fare trade , no sharing . It’s all for one and none or little for all
Srila AC Bhavtivedanta Swami Prabhupada explains
“Srila Prabhupada advocated for a Vedic economic system based on agriculture, cow protection, and simple living, emphasizing that true prosperity comes from natural resources rather than heavy industrialization. He taught that wealth is defined by land and cows (dhanena dhanavān), advocating self-sufficient farm communities to eliminate artificial needs and social distress.
Key aspects of Prabhupada’s view on Vedic economics include:
- Land and Cows: Prabhupada stated that the essentials of human society—grain and milk—come from agricultural land and cows, which are deemed the true capital, not industrial production.
- Critique of Industrialization: He argued that massive, artificial industrialization leads to suffering and unnecessary labor, recommending a rural-based, peaceful life instead.
- Spiritual Purpose: Unlike modern economics focused on sense gratification, Vedic economics is designed to provide for bodily necessities with minimum labor so time can be used for spiritual cultivation (tapasya).
- Simple Living: He promoted, “Plain living, high thinking,” advising against the creation of artificial demands that force people to work hard and waste their lives.
- Cooperation with Nature: Prabhupada taught that by following natural, divinely ordained methods (such as those practiced during the reign of Maharaja Yudhisthira), economic stability could be achieved without severe industrial exploitation.
His teachings aimed to shift the focus from accumulating material wealth to fostering a “spiritual economy,” where all work is dedicated to the Supreme.
