“Nature nurture” , the Vedic way, the Vedic social sciences led by the Sattvic intelligentsia brings  understanding,  education and therapeutics in all its forms ,ensuring paths “of  well being ” for individuals who have become victims of aggression or other types of abuse . This particular age of Kali we presently find ourselves in , brings degradation of many kinds ,  as the wrong types of freedoms are offered to the wrong types of persons , who are in many cases misled by the wrong types of leaders , ie. They are not leaders but actively mislead and who have lost control of the basics of life and replaced them with sophisticated animalism,  we literally are becoming a dog eat dog world society.

Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakur taught nature nuture the Vedic way , understanding ones conditioned nature and learning how to nurture purity of consciousness leading to full Krishna consciousness , the Thakura extensively taught the balance between “nature and nurture” through the Vedic lens, specifically focusing on gradually awakening of the soul’s original needs. He harmonized a person’s psychological and physical conditioning (nature) with spiritual cultivation (nurture) to gradually elevate them to purity. Bhaktivinoda Thakura explained that every conditioned living entity possesses two types of nature .This is the psychological and physical conditioning acquired through past karma and the influence of the three material modes (sattva, rajas, tamas). It dictates a person’s current skills, mental tendencies, and emotional inclinations. The eternal, inherent nature of the soul (jiva)is to love and serve Krishna.  “Nurturing” Purity (The Process of Sadhana) Instead of artificially repressing one’s material conditioning or following the mind anywhere . Bhaktivinoda Thakura advocated for  (dovetailed renunciation). Nurturing purity means using your current nature in the service of the Divine . He revived the true spirit of varnasrama, suggesting that individuals should work according to their conditioned mental and physical nature (as teachers, administrators, merchants, or laborers) but offer the fruits to Krishna in pure regulated ways under the Sattvic intelligentsia . Regular spiritual practices—primarily the chanting of the Hare Krishna maha-mantra, reading Vedic scriptures, and serving the interests of the acaryas —act as the ultimate nurturing environment to cleanse the heart. Full Krishna Consciousness is a  nurturing process that cleanses the consciousness (anartha-nivritti), and the conditioned material nature gradually loses its grip. The soul’s true, unconditioned nature (svarupa) naturally awakens, culminating in  love for God .
