Description:

In a recent discussion, Acharya Prashant elucidated the distinction between science and pseudoscience. He defined science as a discipline that is falsifiable and verifiable, grounded in experimentation and objective observations. In contrast, he characterized pseudoscience as lacking empirical support and often rooted in beliefs or mystical claims. To illustrate this point, he used homeopathy as a prime example, arguing that its principles do not hold up under scientific scrutiny.

Acharya also delved into the purpose of life, asserting that the pursuit of good karma should emphasize present joy rather than future rewards. He highlighted the importance of addressing immediate problems, suggesting that focusing on the present is crucial for personal fulfillment.
When discussing the origin of life, Acharya posited that life arises from matter, particularly through complex chains of polymers and self-replicating molecules. He dismissed the notion of a soul entering a fetus, asserting that life is inherent in the sperm and egg cells.

Additionally, he explored the blurred lines between living and nonliving entities, citing viruses as examples that challenge traditional definitions. In closing, Acharya emphasized that true superpower resides within each individual. He encouraged participants to recognize their own potential and responsibility, framing the self (Aatma) as the ultimate source of power.

Not Just Doing Good But Being good....❤️

[nirajpatil]

Good karma means acting from a good centre

[Phurngirathaana]

People want to believe in magic
Acharya ji destroys all their hopes 😂

[indianaromaworld]

It's okay that when I learn that I AM THE SUPERPOWER, I can actually try to become one. Then I learn everything around me, every living being or even the non living is superpower, I find that the concept of superpower is gone. One fine moment you realise that even the concept of Brahm is gone, then you only remain and that is Kaivalya or Nirvan or Moksha or Siddhi.

Final word is ADVAIT

[Ajayadav]

Acharya Prashant has been able to do what many others were unable to achieve. Osho's thoughts were very limited due to his lack of modern education/science although his vision was same as Acharya Prashant's.
Acharya Prashant has been able to penetrate into youth mind with his education and adoption of Hinduism not completely rejecting jt.

[RAHULKUMAR-rkqz]

There is only thing that is called Truth i.e Aatma or Satya or Braham or Ram or Krishna or Shiva or Mukti.Whatever you may name it.
