"Every saint has a past, and every sinner has a future"-oscar wilde.
For the present context, being Primitive means not live in a mud hut with bare body ,eat burnt food etc . Living with primitive way means to live with modernity and at the same time to upholds the true tradition ( discussed in the last post).
Q. Is it possible?
The answer for this question is a big YES. It is possible to live in a Modmitive way. Let's understand it smoothly.
The entire world knows that the evil practice of caste system now also a main traditional part of Indian society after we accept the modernity. It's a well known fact that the caste system prevails in india is not a true Sanatan tradition but a mixed, amended, abrasion tradition . On the other hand Yoga is a true Sanatan tradition which is also prevails in india but less practices as compared to the first one ( caste system).
So if we follow the caste system ( illusion system) then why not Yoga ( true system) ? The answer is we think yoga is not a sign of modernity but the caste system . It is caste system which divides the society as well as a nation ( India)but the yoga is completely constructive Instrument which builds a nation ( Bharat).
Today's the best example of Modmitive Indian , Sadhguru Yogi Vasudev ( Isha foundation), Swami Ramdev ( patanjali), Sri Sri Ravishankar ( art of living), Gaur Gopal Das , Vivek bindra, Sonu Sharma, Mukesh Khanna and the others who practice it (of course me also.)
Q. Why being Primitive is Important for today ?
Everyone knows that after globalisation (1991) , all cultures of the world were amalgated due to the spreading of knowledge and movement of people worldwide(Glocalisation). But in the context of India, it is seen that during this period(1991 -till)we destroy our own culture. We trun our culture from Everything to Nothing just because in the name of modernity.
N.B - culture can't be old or new ( it's static) but tradition may be changes ( dynamic) so if you are trying to change the culture in the name of modernity it will destroy you .
Take an example of a very modern but a small country i.e Israel. What they do ? After established their country they revived their culture first and then rejuvineted their Hebrew language. A muslim even in India does his Namaz 5 times a day and a Christian offers his prayer and reads the holy Bible in Sunday(must go to the church on Sunday) . The other sects the Jains, Buddhist and shiks also practice their ture cultures. But the native people of this country forget their culture . We the so called Hindu ( not take it for a particular religion .this expression for all who feels the sense of Hindustani) and most of us don't even read the single page of Gita and take part in the debate about religion , krishna,etc.
If we the present generation don't rejuvenate our lost culture then the future generation will not know even a single idea about our culture .Hmm they will definitely heard about the story of Rama, Krishna and nothing else.( As we are not aware about our heros , like a recent bollywood actress acted Rajjo pandey in Dabang movie ).
