WHAT DO THE VEDIC TEACHINGS TELL US?

A section of people has become more, ferocious than beasts. People have now become habitual to this day-to-day horrible crimes. When Tamagun predominates, people become violently inclined. Tamagun causes destruction. The whole world is running fast towards destruction. It is now beyond the capacity of human efforts to restrain this trend of thought. Gradually this world is becoming unfit for stay of peace loving good people. If this unholy violent trend is not restricted, it will gradually contaminate the whole human society.
