Secularism, socialism need understanding

Description

It is fashionable these days to decry the existence of God, to uphold the secular against the spiritual and parade lack of self-belief as a virtue to be cultivated.

Swami Satyananda puts the matter beautifully when he affirms that in the traditions of Sanatana Dharma, the goal of every living being lies in being free of karma and achieves its own state of perfection.
