Dashavatara

Lord Vishnu took ten incarnations, known as Dashavatara for upholding the cosmic balance. The Dashavatara enlightens on balancing the four stages of human life.

Brahmacharya

Brahmacharya, also known as the student life phase, is the Satya Yug. It is up to 25 years. It focuses on learning to live a life.

Satya Yuga – Learning Survival in Brahmacharya

This Yuga focuses on the early stage of life, Brahmacharya, where the emphasis is on discipline, learning, and understanding the basics of survival and harmony with nature.

Matsya – Use resources wisely for sustainability, not pride

Matsya highlights the importance of learning to preserve resources, emphasising responsible use for the benefit of all rather than for individual pride.

Kurma – Support and endure to achieve great goals

Kurma teaches patience, resilience and the strength to carry the weight of responsibilities, a crucial quality in foundational learning.

Varaha – Restore and respect the balance of nature

Instills a respect for nature and teaches the value of restoration and ecological balance, essential for sustainable survival.

Narasimha – Understand the sufferings of others with compassion

Narasimha encourages compassion and empathy, showing the importance of recognising others’ struggles, forming a basis for ethical behavior.

Gṛhastha, also known as the householder life phase, is the Treta Yug. It is between the age group of 26 and 50 years. It focuses on raising a family. In this stage, one acquires the necessary resources for a sustainable living in the following phases.

Treta Yuga – Acquiring Resources for Sustainable Living in Gṛhastha

This Yuga corresponds with Gṛhastha (householder life), a phase where people engage in building livelihoods, taking responsibilities and contributing to society.

Vamana – Use humility and wisdom to overcome arrogance

Vamana emphasises humility, especially important in acquiring resources while maintaining balance and fairness.

Parashurama – Fight for justice, but be mindful of cycles of violence

Parashurama teaches that while it is necessary to protect resources and stand up for justice, one must be cautious to not choose conflict and cycles of revenge.

Rama – Live by duty, honour and integrity

Rama encourages living with dedication, integrity and honour, values that stabilise society and are essential for a balanced and just household life.

This approach leads to a life of purpose, sustainability and justice, all while maintaining ethical and respectful relationships with those around you.

Humility (without Pride)

Humility without pride allows you to see the value in others without judgment, fostering empathy, compassion and peaceful challenge to systems that perpetuate harm.

Recognising the Value of Others:

Embrace Equality: Acknowledge the inherent worth of every individual, irrespective of their resources, knowledge, or financial status. Humility is about seeing people for who they truly are, rather than evaluating them based on external metrics. Understand that each person has unique strengths, and every contribution, big or small, is valuable in its own right.
Non-Comparative Perspective: Let go of comparisons that lead to pride or a sense of superiority. Recognise that someone else’s life path or experiences, though different from your own, are equally meaningful. This mindset fosters respect and understanding, creating a more inclusive and compassionate environment.

Empathy and Compassion:

Empathy: Seek to understand the feelings and perspectives of others. Putting yourself in someone else’s shoes allows you to connect with their struggles, hopes and dreams, leading to a deeper sense of humility.
Compassion: True empathy goes beyond understanding—it involves a genuine desire to help. Act with compassion by offering support, comfort, or assistance where needed, even in small ways, without expecting anything in return.
Compassionate Action: Your empathy should drive you to act in a way that alleviates suffering and promotes the well-being of others, creating a culture of care and kindness.

Challenging Systems without Harm:

Non-Violent Activism: When challenging societal systems or norms that are unjust or harmful, approach it with integrity and peaceful methods. Voice your concerns, seek constructive change and foster dialogue, but avoid resorting to violence, hatred, or revenge.
Constructive Disruption: To create change, it is essential to disrupt harmful systems, but this should be done through education, awareness and empathy, aiming to uplift others rather than degrade them.
Seeking Positive Transformation: Challenge existing systems in ways that promote growth, healing and mutual respect. The goal should always be to bring about transformation that benefits everyone, without inflicting harm on any individual or group.

Duty (with Integrity)

Duty with integrity guides you to align your actions with your values, acquire resources responsibly and act in ways that benefit the environment, society and future generations.

Aligning Actions with Values:

Living by Your Principles: Duty with integrity means living consistently with your core values, even when no one is looking. This includes acting ethically, doing what is right and fulfilling responsibilities with commitment and sincerity.
Integrity in Daily Actions: Whether you’re in a professional setting or in your personal life, integrity means being honest, transparent and trustworthy. It’s about making decisions based on what’s right, not convenient, and acting in accordance with your moral compass, regardless of external pressure.

Acquiring Resources, Knowledge and Money with Purpose:

Sustainable Wealth Creation: Acquiring resources, wealth, or knowledge should be done with a long-term perspective, taking into account how your actions impact the environment, society and future generations. Strive for balance—don’t pursue success or wealth at the expense of others or the planet.
Responsible Resource Acquisition: Use your wealth and knowledge responsibly. Whether you’re earning money, gaining knowledge, or accumulating resources, ensure they’re being used for a positive purpose, such as fostering sustainability, supporting communities, or enhancing well-being.
Financial and Knowledge Stewardship: Develop strategies for accumulating resources that benefit not just yourself, but also the collective. Ensure that your choices, whether financially or intellectually, are aligned with the larger goal of positive, sustainable growth for both present and future generations.

For Environment, Society and Future Generations:

Environmental Stewardship: A key aspect of duty with integrity is being mindful of your environmental impact. Strive to make choices that support sustainability and reduce harm to the planet. This could include reducing waste, conserving energy, supporting eco-friendly businesses, or advocating for policy changes.
Social Responsibility: Duty with integrity means contributing to society in ways that promote fairness, equality and well-being for all. This may involve giving back to your community, supporting social causes, or working towards eliminating inequality.
Intergenerational Responsibility: Consider the legacy you’re leaving for future generations. Your decisions today should not deplete resources or harm the well-being of tomorrow’s world. Instead, focus on creating systems and actions that provide for future generations while maintaining respect for the planet and its resources.

Vanaprastha

Vanaprastha, also known as the retirement life phase, is the Dvapara Yug. It is between the age group of 50 and 75 years. It focuses on passing on the responsibilities and resources to the next generation.

Dvapara Yuga – Passing on Responsibilities and Resources in Vanaprastha

In this stage, Vanaprastha, individuals begin to withdraw from active duties and pass on their responsibilities, preparing the next generation.

Krishna – Embrace wisdom, love, and detachment

Krishna’s teachings emphasise wisdom, selfless love and detachment, guiding us to relinquish responsibilities gracefully and trust the future generations to uphold them.

Buddha – Seek inner peace and show compassion to all beings

Buddha’s teachings encourage inner peace and compassion, important qualities for the elder phase of life, focusing on introspection and kindness towards all beings.

Sannyasa

Sannyasa, also known as the renounced life phase, is the Kali Yug. It is above the age 75 years. It focuses on the spiritual life.

Kali Yuga – Learning Spiritualism in Sannyasa

Kali Yuga aligns with Sannyasa, the stage of renunciation, where spiritualism and the pursuit of liberation become central as individuals detach from material life.

Kalki – Embrace renewal and the triumph of righteousness

Kalki symbolises the end of darkness and the restoration of dharma, aligning with the ultimate pursuit of spiritual liberation and the renewal of truth, which is central to the renunciatory phase.

Path for Kaliyug: Soft Spoken, Sewa & Charity

People are neither inferior nor superior. People, irrespective of gender, race, religion and caste, think and act, in the same situation, differently, according to their perception towards sthan (place), kal (time), patra (people).

Why Conflicts?

Difference in perception creates conflicts – that leads to aggression in thoughts and actions which is neither socially nor legally an acceptable behaviour.

Steps in Resolving Conflicts - The Hindutva Way

How can we balance our own emotions while respecting the autonomy of others?

We talk to share the unbearable weight. It becomes unbearable because we’ve given it more attention than it can comfortably hold. Take a moment to acknowledge the elements of trauma, without judgment. Practice the following:

Acknowledge

Recognize that “x” is just anxiety.

Grounding

Inhale, hold your breath, exhale slowly, and pause. Repeat until your mind settles and your body relaxes.

Body Scan

Start at the top of your head and move downward, paying attention to each part of your body.

Say to yourself: “It’s okay to feel this way. I am learning and growing.”

Anchor

Visualize the simplicity of nature and engage your senses in the experience.

Set healthy boundaries and interact with people based on trust and respect. Setting boundaries is an act of self-care. People’s responses are their responsibility, while our responses should reflect collective responsibility.

Say to yourself: “Am I truly denying others their happiness, or am I simply making my own choices? If my loved one were in my position, would I tell him/her he/she should feel guilty for taking care of himself/herself?”

Preserving your emotional health and respecting your values are not selfish acts, but necessary ones. It’s not avoidance, it’s protecting your peace. You are in control of where you go and how you engage with others. You practice life where you feel comfortable.
