Category:Educated Class of People
Theme Analysis
The Vedic standard of an educated person is one who has learned the essence of the scriptures and applies that knowledge to solve the ultimate problems of birth, death, old age, and disease. Śrīla Prabhupāda often contrasts this with the modern "so-called" educated class, who may possess academic degrees but lack cultural roots and spiritual direction. This modern class is often misled by unauthorized philosophers and considers the laws of karma to be mere superstition. However, the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is specifically designed as a scientific and authorized educational process to reform this class. By presenting the philosophy through books and logical discourse, the movement aims to attract professors, lawyers, and students. Śrīla Prabhupāda emphasizes that when the truly intelligent among the educated class appreciate the Vedic science, they can lead society toward a genuine spiritual culture, transcending the superficiality of modern secular education.
