Summary:The saints brought up additional issues, most often a perceived lack of unity among Hindu organizations, the adverse influence of Western culture, the training of future saints and sadhus, conversion to other religions and the shrinking of India's Hindu population, the collapse of the joint family system and the related issue of couples having only one child. The saints' use was in the first sense, formally stated in one lexicon as "The imprints left on the subconscious mind by experience (from this or previous lives), which then color all of life, one's nature, responses, states of mind, etc." If they can't solve it, then the village elders will; if they cannot, leaders of the district or state; and if they can't, the problem would come here to be considered by the rishis and munis.
