Consequences of libertine and promiscuous societies are historically recorded some will say ..
The downfall of the Roman empire can be attributed to its ultra libertine approach and over indulgence with its progressively sexuilised societies it can be argued, currupt and philistine leaders lost their intelligence. The Vedas indicates sexuilised society leads to lack of intelligence, intelligence is required for everything of this life and the next
While historically proposed by Enlightenment thinkers like Edward Gibbon, the idea that moral decay and hyper-sexuality caused the fall of Rome is largely debated. Most modern historians , although not philosophically trained or theologically so , and as such unaware of the consequences on the consciousness of individuals following extremes in libertine cultures . So, such uniformed historians give the opinion that the Western Empire fell due to a complex mix of systemic political instability, economic crises, military overspending, and barbarian invasions.
The Roman decadence, particularly among the elite, centres primarily on the late Republic and early Empire , can be connected to currupt behaviour and promiscuity. However, among Western historians , you will never find academic consensus that this “libertine approach” directly caused the collapse of the Roman state in the 5th century.
Vedic cultures are traditional, family based, and theologically guided .Vedic cultures steer away from the overly libertine sexualised societies that often cause anxiety , a strong identification with the gross body , depressions and family breakups . Modern libertine cultures based on materialism can be seen for what they are . The actual bliss and happy spiritual inner consciousness is left far behind, along with the objectives of spiritual dualism.
Traditional Vedic cultures emphasize a theologically grounded, ashrama-based social structure designed to foster spiritual growth, social harmony, and strong family ties. By prioritizing dharma (duty) over merely material accumulation, this framework provides a stable foundation for culture of consciousness. While this traditional framework remains a cornerstone for many practicing communities, modern adaptations are continually having to be made .Its important that misplaced ideas and interpretations by the smarta Brahminical classes be removed , Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu has introduced the Gaudia Vaisnava Sankirtana movements for this purpose. Caste consciousness , the lack of spiritual and social mobility, and the minimizing of women have been reformed .
More on this with Vedic reflections soon .
