I think this trend will continue and accelerate. As the normal school curriculums get outdated in the world of AI, the schools that teach focus, sensory control, philosophies and systems for understanding the body and the mind will get back in trend and it will be considered elite and high status to be from such a school because of the high potence (high ability to create) of the children that graduate from such schools. This is my larger opinion.

Now let’s look at some data points:

Over 20 lakhs (2 million) students currently studying under Indian philosophical systems. Out of a total normal student population of around 24.5 crore (245 million) students.

Maharashtra: Systemic Monk Schools vs. Small Pursuits

Philosophical Breakdown

If we categorize schools by their Philosophical Operating System:

A. Vaishnavism (The Corporate Giants)

• Examples: Swaminarayan (Rajkot/Ahmedabad), ISKCON (Mayapur), Madhva Mathas (Udupi).
• Core Logic: Bhakti (Devotion) and Dharma (Duty).
• Scale: Largest share (~45% of monk-led students).
• Teaching Style: Highly organized. They prioritize social integration and producing “good citizens” who are also high-earners.

B. Jainism (The Business Ascetics)

• Examples: Shramanic Gurukuls (Patan, Koba, Lonavala).
• Core Logic: Aparigraha (Non-possessiveness) and Tapas (Austerity).
• Scale: Small but economically powerful (~10% of students).
• Teaching Style: Extreme sensory control.

C. Shaivism & Shakta (The Energy Scientists)

• Examples: Isha Home School (Coimbatore), Bihar School of Yoga (Munger), various Dashanami Akhada schools.
• Core Logic: Prana (Energy) and Shiva-Tattva (Pure Consciousness).
• Scale: Growing fast among urban seekers (~15% of students).
• Teaching Style: Focused on Hatha Yoga and Ojas. It’s about building the “Human Hardware” before installing the “Software.”

D. Samkhya & Vedanta (The Logic & The Truth)

• Examples: Arsha Vidya Gurukulam, Chinmaya Vidyalayas, Arya Samaj Gurukuls.
• Core Logic: Anvikhshiki (Critical Inquiry) and Tat Tvam Asi (Thou Art That).
• Scale: Intellectual elite (~20% of students).
• Teaching Style: Pure logic. It’s about deconstructing the world into categories (24 Tattvas of Samkhya) to understand reality.

It is clear to me that there are few economic activities which attract majority of the profits.

Therefore, I will undertake only those economic activities that, according to my analysis, fall in this category.

Currently, only Finance and Engineering (AI Engineering) seem to fit the bill and therefore my ‘for profit’ undertakings will be those listed above.

About the Yog School and Ashram, I think that is the proper way to live life.

Marriage:

I have certain belief systems. I have certain spiritual inclinations.

I believe sex is an activity only to be undertaken for reproduction.

I do not think this belief system will be supportive of any societal expectations out of marriage. Today’s dopamine-led world will not encourage in this pursuit and it will not be correct to expect anyone to become my wife and agree to my beliefs by giving up one of the only pleasures that come with marriage.

Therefore, having such extreme beliefs and wanting to live according to them means choosing your own way of life.

And with that comes the obvious, that you can not live an extreme life while being normal. And if you are not normal, you cannot take part in the normal functions or institutions created by the society.

Add to that:

I have another idea that the Indian society or even any other society including the American and the British society cannot play long term games or sustain for long term without making structural changes to their democratic systems.

I believe that in all the democratic societies, monks will eventually take over all the seats of power.

Monks according to me are not religious creatures but have these features:

• Give up marriage and children as a proof of identification of the whole constituency as family.
• Beg (alms from) the people of constituency for daily food.
• Sleep in public places every night as a proof of incorruptibility.

While I do not know if I will ever take up public office, the idea that I think will work best in the interest of society is this. And I will always try to propagate this theory from a sociological point of view.

Because he asked for it.

Long Story:

Like everything in society, every free market has a few monopolies that accumulate all the money in the industry.

Now we might ask: Why is it like that?

But before we go into why and how monopolies are made up as a result of demand and consumer behavior, I would like to analyze more on the supply side.

What does a monopolist do differently than those in the free market?

Here the thing I would like to propose:

You can position yourself in such a way that by the way you talk, the way you live, the things you do, the stories you tell, the people you meet, the perception you create about yourself in the society, etc, that people just come and give you money. And that too, by their will, happily.

Who is Tirupati Balaji and why does his devotees pour so much money to him?

The answer lies in story of Balaji.

Balaji took a loan from Kuber. And not for any business venture. But to become worthy of marriage!

But Kuber warned him that Balaji could never repay this loan, such were the terms of the loan! Either the principal was so huge or the interest rate so high, that the amount would near infinity…

But Balaji took the loan anyway and literally told Kuber that he’ll be indebted “forever”!

Now the devotees of Balaji every year donate so much money to Balaji, so that he can repay his loan!

Now does that mean our religion promotes taking a loan and not paying it back?

Or does it promote: taking out a loan for a grand wedding?

Or does it mean that if you take out a loan for a purpose that is emotional enough, people will come and volunteer to repay it for you?

Here is my analysis of it:

Here’s what I have learnt from Monopolists and analyzing Monopolies:
