PROUT The social cycle

Prout Prout stands for Progressive Utilization Theory. According to Prout all the resources from humanity and the universe should be utilized for all round welfare.

The Social Cycle The social cycle is the succession of the various human psychologies which govern social outlook during different historical periods.

Varnas or Mental Colours These specific human psychologies are also called ‘varnas’ (Sanskrit) or mental colors. They can also be called ‘social classes’..

The concept of varna or mental color is scientific and is not related to the idea of caste, which is a dogma created to impose exploitation in society. Prout opposes caste discrimination. Caste system

Four basic human psychologies Shudra: Laborer Ksattriya: Warrior Vipra: Intellectual Vaeshya: Capitalist

Shudra or labourer Mental color: Black Basic psychology: Mind preoccupied with physical needs. They survive mainly by their manual labour.

Shudra

Ksattriya or warrior Mental color: Red Basic psychology: To fight and conquer is their nature. Valour and honor has more value to them than their own existence.

Ksattriya

Vipra or intellectual Mental color: White Basic psychology: Control matter by the use of their intelligence. Dominant by intellectual ability.

Vipra

Vipras Mentally evolved vipras have the capacity to direct their intellect towards spiritual awakening.

Sadvipras Spiritual revolutionaries who work to achieve progressive changes for human elevation by adhering to the principles of Yama and Niyama (internal and external ethics/morality). ‘sad’ (Sanskrit) = elevated ‘vipra’ (Sanskrit) = mental ability

Yama Ahimsa: not inflicting pain or hurt on anybody by thought, word or action. Satya: proper action of mind and the right use of words with the spirit of welfare. Asteya: not to take possession of what belongs to others. Brahmacarya: cosmic feeling for each and every object.
