How Youth should take our Vedic Scriptures

Young generations are going away from Vedic culture and scriptures and they feel shy if they asked to read scriptures and follow Vedic culture. If I ask students to read Bhagwad Gita they tell, why I should read it, I have many other books to read and If I get free time I will read.

They don't know the value of it and that is why modern education giving information but there is no proper knowledge. Srila Prabhupada has mentioned in his books, Modern education became a slaughterhouse and they are killing children by not giving proper education.

When Lord Macaulay came to our country and saw our education the way Gurukul system was there and it was free of cost, donated by King and taught by Great Brahmin Scholar, he got bewildered and this way Macaulay thought, they are very much strong from the base because they have been taught Indian Vedic scriptures and He thought this way he cannot destroy our Indian culture and he started modern convent school system and removed Vedic scriptures from schools and forcibly closed Gurukuls.

I am going to share you a very small and meaningful story which is related to our current education system. There was a young boy he used to beg on street on sitting of one old box. One day a person saw that boy and asked him, "My dear child do you know the cost of this box? If you sell this box, you don't need to sit and beg for whole day instead you can live your whole while. Have you ever opened that box and checked what is inside it?"

The boy replied, "No, my father used to sit and beg on this box so I do the same when he left his body but I never checked it what is there inside it because I get daily for my bread and butter."

And that boy opened the box and he got surprised, it was full of gold and silver coins.

So, this story applies to us. Where Indians were known to be scholar and intelligent now, they are leading a life where there is no hope for their future.

They read all sorts of nonsense things but never try to understand the deep meaning of our great scriptures what it teaches us. Here I am giving you a little brief about what our scriptures gives in our life and if we read our Vedic scriptures Definity we don't need any help of other books to read for our development.

1. Bhagwat Gita teaches us, how to live in this world

2. Srimad Bhagwatam teaches us, how to love Krishna

3. Ramayana teaches us, how to lead in this world

4. Chaitanya Charitamrita teaches us, how to preach

and apart from this if we read these scriptures surely, we get also the benefit mentioned below:

1. Protection from Ignorance

2. Protection from Bad Habits

3. Protection from Mistakes

4. Protection from Struggles

5. Protection from Enemies

So, my request to all young generation please understand our culture and understand Vedic scriptures. Don't waste your valuable time in something else which is not going to give anything return but just drag you in hell.
