Why Millennials Are Turning to Ancient Wisdom Instead of TherapyAnkita Rai11 Jun 2025In a world of constant connectivity and rising burnout, millennials are turning to ancient spiritual teachings to reclaim their mental well-being.

FOMO creates anxiety by making us believe others are living better lives, while maya distorts reality through perception and desire. Both cause suffering by fostering comparison, attachment, and dissatisfaction. The solution lies in self-awareness, recognizing that curated online lives are not reality, and seeking happiness within. Overcoming FOMO, like dispelling maya, requires mindfulness, authentic connection, and gratitude, ultimately leading to inner peace and liberation from illusion.5 Sanskrit Mantras That Can Save Your Sanity When Life Falls ApartAnkita Rai10 Jun 2025When life starts to feel like it’s spiraling grief, anxiety, burnout, heartbreak Sanskrit mantras offer more than poetic comfort.
