This episode of Dharmic Life explores smartphone and social media addiction through personal experiences, research, and a dharmic lens.
Today, digital platforms are intentionally engineered to capture our attention through constant notifications and endless feeds. This has fueled the rise of “doomscrolling,” a habit known to negatively affect our mood, mental well-being, and relationships.
In fact, rising smartphone use has coincided with a sharp increase in youth depression, anxiety, self-harm, and sleep deprivation. Meta has faced billions of dollars in legal claims over allegations that its algorithms harm young people.
But this struggle is nothing new. Hinduism has long explored the concept of maya and offers a path to overcome it. Bhagwan Swaminarayan’s teachings in the Vachanamrut reveal how we can regain control of our minds through awareness, better habits, purposeful living, and spiritual practice.
