So - in terms of the political realm - your belief system advocates tyranny (that is to sayy imposing and perpetuating itself by force) while at the same time claiming that "people have a choice" and "people must make their own minds up"? How do you reconcile these two diametrically opposed 'principles' that you hold?
A Vedic society does not subscribe to tyranny.
Actually the leaders fully know the purpose of life and govern the people with that knowing.
Today's leaders are allowing all manner of nonsense to exist, so they may be elected, and if the people want places of gambling and intoxication to stay open to 4am in the morning, then the leaders will pass a stupid law allowing that.
In Vedic society there will be no such law, because the leaders govern with the actual welfare of the people in mind.
The whole of modern society is governed in such a way as to put sense pleasure before anything else, and therefore the people and the leaders do not know what is good for them.
Vedic society means civilized society.
Vedic society means advanced society.
Vedic society means peaceful society with no crime and corruption at every level.
Modern day non Vedic society means barbaric, corrupt, greedy, selfish, bewildered, fearful, anxious and definitely not happy and well.
