Shakti Vriddhi

15/08/2026

On this Independence Day, Shakti Vriddhi presents a special live broadcast:

Kshatra Bhava for a Hindu in the 21st Century with former Special Warfare Operator and French Foreign Legionnaire, Shri Prateek Mahtha.

In an era of rapid geopolitical shifts and modern complexities, what does it mean to embody the spirit of a Kshatriya today? True Kshatra Bhava goes beyond physical force—it is an internal disposition of moral clarity, physical preparedness, unyielding discipline, and the willingness to stand as a shield for Dharma and the nation.

Join us live as we decode the mindset, tactics, and civil responsibility required to build a resilient society for the future.

� ABOUT THE GUEST: SHRI PRATEEK MAHTA

It starts with language. In psychology, moral disengagement occurs when we use euphemistic labeling to obfuscate harm—like when a state reframes violence as "law and order," or when individuals re-label wrong actions to relieve their own conscience.

Historically, a healthy culture provided the scaffolding to refine human nature and restrain bad behavior at scale. Today, modern culture and exponential technology often do the opposite—normalizing wrong actions and granting social sanction for things we would otherwise reject.

"We create certain labels so that we can morally justify our own action." — Shri. Raghava Krishna

It’s important to understand the manner in which the church attempts to strip away the divinity of our Devatas by claiming they are mere mortals when the very object of worship was a man (if he really existed) who died on the cross.

Are we building for the long haul or just starting from scratch every generation?

True legacy isn’t about creating anything afresh. It’s about stewardship; building the scaffolding of institutions and options, so that what is great can be carried forward.

“If you can be a good custodian of what has been given to you, and if you can be a good transmitter of what needs to continue, that is a meaningful life.” - Shri. Raghava Krishna

In this clip from our latest live stream, we discuss why stewardship, duty and cultural continuity matter now more than ever.

How are you working to preserve and pass on what matters in your own life? Share your thoughts below.
