The general principles of the Vedic societies are that specific persons with specific qualifications , realisations , or skill sets in specific areas that are inherant within them since birth , due to previous lives , are brought out and perfected by further education as well as association , they will all take up differing roles within society quite naturally . Administrative posts , business enterprise , crafts and practical skills, and finally persons with theological or theosophy liking as well as philosophical leanings .
The percentages, according to the Vedas , of people fitting particular roles remain very steady right throughout all societies historically, and indeed, this is objectively seen .
In order for societal cohesion it’s very important, and Lord Krishna says in the Bhagavad Gita , that a particular type of person with particular qualities are suited for a specific roles in society , and persons should not take up someone else’s duties , as that will lead to an imbalance.
For instance, a businessman is a profit driven man , and he will not be able to consider the multifarious needs of the population nor the creatures that live within the countryside.
However, the man with greater vision , an administrator , will understand those needs , and still further, another man , the philosophical and theological , will understand much greater aspects of humanities and the creatures needs in terms of the individual consciousness , in the human case , along with philosophical developments , and the environment needs of creatures . A bigger picture and the greater questions of life are understood by great thinkers , God always sees to it that such persons live alongside , they give the best directions.
Without having the right persons influences in the key positions , society becomes unbalanced and unsteady and unproductive . Greater ignorance of the key values and intolerance increases, essential knowledge as well as all-around education becomes stifled . The all important intelligentsia who have everyone’s interest at heart are silenced or pushed out , either by , political operators, fanatical religionists , or ultra Liberalists driven by business conglomorates who favour scientific materialism and atheistic Darwinian hypothesis . Unfortunately, they own and control much of the mainstream and social media ,they also spend money to fix legislation their way with the help of political allies . The results have been a widespread teaching of subjective scientific speculations as fact based science to children . Children should be taught critical thinking, not just what to think .
The Bhagavad Gita and the Srimad Bhagavatam give in-depth details of the Vedic societies makeup and different people’s qualities for various occupational activities. Not specifically by birthright but inherant qualities within. Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada has translated them to English.
