Chiraan Uvach
A Sermon on Indian Tradition

Rajya Moolam IndriyaJaya:

  • Wealth is stable only when one is active in rule [avocation etc].
  • For a King its rule and for ordinary people its avocation or [job or activity akin to birth and qualifications].
  • To keep intact, unperturbed ones’ rule and power , one has to be in control of his senses. [Indriya jaya]
  • Senses in control ensures steady growth of Dharma,
  • it gives control of the mind and control of mind gives control over masses [praja] .
  • Such control enables a king to establish rule of Law
  • Such control ensures proper tax collection
  • Such control ensures collision free trade and commerce.
  • Such control ensures a fear in the minds of subject
  • such control induces a respect towards ruler.

When ruler loses his control of senses:

  • He indulges in vices
  • His advisors will shy away from telling him truth
  • His advisors will aid his indulgence [worst still only such indolent will be advisors ]
  • Indulgence breeds corruption
  • Corruptions disturb rule of Law
  • Disturbed rule of law breaks the flow of economy
  • Broken economy breeds hatred and Mutiny
  • Mutiny destroys the Kingdom

Thus Indriya jaya is of prime importance to a wealthy life. A wealthy life ensures indelivering Dharma .Dharma ensures peace and prosperity and happiness.
