Last Sunday there was a lecture on PROUT presented by Dada Jyotirupananda. Translated by Didi Ananda Harimaya to Spanish, as a follow up from last weeks retreat. 45 people attended. Next Saturday there will be another lecture on PROUT.
Progressive Utilisation Theory (PROUT), it’s guiding principles provide a framework for the fair distribution of wealth and the sustainable use of resources. The aim is to ensure that all people have their minimum requirements for life and meaningful employment, while supporting the natural environment to thrive.
Once the basic needs are ensured for all, society can focus on gradually raising the standard of living. The goal is to support individuals and the collective to fulfill their highest potential in all spheres of life – physical, mental, and spiritual. According to Prout – this, rather than economic growth, is the true measure of progress.
