“I started drinking from Class 9…”: Premanand Maharaj shares the ‘one thing’ parents can do to keep children away from bad habits

While discussing the challenges facing today’s generation, Premanand kept coming back to the same point: spirituality. “The condition of society and the younger generation is worsening because they have moved away from spirituality. This can be corrected only through spirituality,” he said. Now, that doesn’t have to mean temple visits or prayers every morning. For many families, it simply means teaching children gratitude, honesty, compassion and the ability to pause before making a bad decision. Giving them an inner sense of right and wrong, something that works even when no one is watching.
