| Summary: | Religion since the beginning has acquired an indomitable space in the Indian subcontinent as it served as a psychological anchor to the tormented Indian mind, which was amidst poverty and a struggle for freedom. A greater number of educated Indians have adopted spirituality as a way of life, and this paradigm shift in human consciousness is shedding light on the way society is evolving. There is a growing interest in changing lifestyle patterns and the use of spiritual tools as a corrective measure for self-evolution. This article examines the gradual shift from religiosity to spirituality in India and how it has shaped the Indian mind's perspective on internal well-being. |
