Abp Ideas Of India Summit 2026: ISKCON Govardhan Ecovillage Director Gaurang Das participated in ABP News Ideas of India Summit. He said, humans are not able to bring out their hidden strengths because they consider others more powerful. One should avoid doing this. Talking about the root cause of stress, he said that when our identity is linked to temporary things and those things change, then fear arises in people. Geeta helps us to overcome this fear.
It is important to recognize your inner strength
He said that Geeta is very famous, but very few people try to understand it. Geeta is such a book, which can remove the doubts of anyone’s life. There is a Hanuman inside every person, but he needs a Jamwant, because he does not recognize his inner strength, because of the fear of the outside. Many times, you start having doubts about the work you can do because you are unable to recognize yourself.
People do not recognize their strength
Gaurang Das said that there are three cancers of the mind – comparing, complaining and criticizing. Due to comparison with others, a person forgets his own abilities and strengths and keeps looking at others, due to which he is unable to recognize his hidden strengths. He says that in today’s time, mental confusion has increased so much that people are becoming weak in taking decisions even in simple tasks. The country is developing, but it is a matter of concern that if human resources do not progress then how long will the economic development last.
Mental anxiety is a big disease
Gaurang Das said that mental anxiety has become a big disease today. Due to mental imbalance, a large number of people are being affected by serious diseases. Due to lack of mental balance, today 20 million people are suffering from heart diseases and 10 million people are suffering from cancer. He said that Geeta also helps in saving a person from depression.
How important is Geeta?
Director of ISKCON Govardhan Ecovillage said that Geeta is helpful in finding the right purpose, following the right principles and adopting the right approach. We have limited time and limited energy, so we cannot fight every war. We have to decide who needs to be given more importance and who not. Geeta teaches us that whatever has to be done, it has to be done right and in the right way.
Mind control is necessary
Gaurang Das said that the most important thing to move ahead in life and perform well in career is strong faith. The second important thing is focus. Unless the mind is controlled, the mind will keep wandering here and there. The mind can also change the understanding of right and wrong and can also trouble a person. Therefore focus is important. The third important point is courage. Unless there is courage to do something new, no big work can be done.
What did Gaurang Das say about social media?
He also spoke on social media and said that around 230 million people in the world are addicted to it, out of which 70 million are in India. Social media has its benefits, it is a tool. There is nothing wrong in promoting technology, but it is important to use it properly.
