Abstract- Democracy may be compared to the spiritual structure of Indian Philosophy, and the erosion of the democratic features, which is largely seen in the present era, can be prevented by having democracy reformed by spirituality. Like the individual soul (Jivātman) is the enjoyer of the consequences (phala) of the action (karma), people in a democracy enjoy the result of the action of implementing their voting rights in the ballot box. Like the individual soul loses its true nature in association with the body and its accessories, the ordinary people gradually forget their true nature of impartiality and consequently avoid their duty of watching the government’s performance when the people come into contact and associate with the government. The mind strives to keep the true nature of the soul intact and is always vigilant to restrain the senses so that they do not go astray. Similarly, the opposition tries to make the people aware of their impartial nature and restrains the different wings of the government from doing anything adverse to the public interest. Like the body is the external abode of the soul, the government is the factor upon which the ordinary people of a state depend for getting uninterrupted service. The people, like the soul, throw out a government and take another government elected by franchising their votes. Above all, equality, the main pillar of democracy, truly can be had in terms of spirit. Keywords: Democracy, Spirituality, Soul, Mind, Liberty, Equality | ||
