Mentality being created is not beneficial for religion, country: Swami Premanand tells Mohan Bhagwat
Says it is disheartening to see youngsters of country turning to violence
Vrindavan: Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat visited Sant Premanand Maharaj in Vrindavan on Wednesday morning, where the saint expressed concerns over societal challenges in a spiritual discussion lasting about 15 minutes.
Premanand Maharaj emphasized the need for spiritual and practical service and raised issues related to the declining intellectual level in society.
Bhagwat reached Premanand Maharaj's ashram on Parikrama Marg at around 8 AM, presenting the saint with a robe and a basket of fruits.
During the discussion, Premanand Maharaj highlighted the significance of God's gift of life for service, both practical and spiritual. He shared worries about the increasing prevalence of addiction, adultery, and violence in society, stressing that material comforts alone cannot bring happiness.
Premanand Maharaj also pointed out the importance of teaching patriotism and purifying thoughts to counteract the decline in societal values.
“Today the intellectual level of the society is falling. This is a matter of concern. We will provide them facilities and various types of food items, but until the impurity of their hearts and violent tendencies are not cured, nothing will be cured,” Premanand said.
“It’s disappointing the heart to see the tendency of adultery, addiction and violence in the new generation. The mentality that is being created now is not beneficial for the religion and the country,” he added.

Karnataka School Edu Dept prohibits children from being made to dance to obscene songs
Bengaluru (PTI): The Karnataka School Education Department has issued a circular strictly prohibiting children from being made to dance to obscene songs in educational and cultural programmes.
It stated that such dances would negatively impact students' mental health and moral values. It will create indiscipline and harm the sanctity of education.
"All the Deputy Directors (Administration) of the state's School Education Department have been asked to take strict measures to prevent children or students from dancing to obscene songs in all government, aided and unaided schools in the state," the office of the commissioner of the School Education Department said in a recent circular.
"If it is found that children are being made to dance to obscene songs, appropriate action will be taken against the headmaster or management of such school," it added.
The department also listed certain measures in this regard, which include: strictly prohibiting children from being made to dance to obscene songs during educational and cultural programmes; selecting songs that are inspiring, positive, instilling national pride in children and reflecting the greatness, dignity, values, culture, and morality of the state.
Stating that the school headmaster and management are responsible for selecting songs and dances for cultural programmes, it said, they should also ensure that students wear decent clothes in dance or cultural programmes.
