❓ What are the key principles of practical Hindu spirituality for daily life?

Practical Hindu spirituality centers on four core principles: dharma (righteousness), karma (action), seva (service), and sadhana (spiritual practice). The Bhagavad Gita [3.19] teaches that we should perform our duties without attachment to results.

Daily practical application includes:

• Morning meditation and prayers (sandhyavandanam)
• Mindful performance of work as worship (karma yoga)
• Service to others as divine service
• Regular self-study and reflection

Modern research confirms these practices reduce stress and improve mental wellbeing while fostering social harmony. The key is consistent, mindful practice rather than mechanical ritual.
