Radhe-Radhe Guru Ji: How Gen Z Push Made Religion A Market Worth Rs 4.86 Lakh Crore In India
Sidhharrth S Kumaar is an astrologer, relationship coach, and psychic. He works with NumroVani, a Gurugram-based numerology company with a mission to 'empower businesses and individuals'. With over six years of experience, Kumaar has built a loyal following - both in real life and across social media. He consults more than 100 clients every month, most of whom are between the ages of 24 and 35. But his youngest client? Just 8. A growing number of teenagers and young adults are reaching out to him - often struggling with relationship challenges or grappling with identity issues. "A 25-year-old came to me asking, 'Why am I here?' and 'What's my purpose?' Their North Node was in the 9th house, which indicates a deep connection to travel, philosophy, and teaching. They left the session with tears in their eyes - not because they were lost, but because they finally realised they were simply being redirected," Kumaar shares. He also recalls a 14-year-old girl who had just come out of a brief but intense relationship. "She wanted to know why she gets so emotionally attached to people," he says. Stories like these - of people stuck in confusion about relationships, careers, or life - reflect a growing trend: young Indians are turning to spirituality to make sense of their inner chaos and emotional blocks, often using it as a way to disconnect from an overwhelming reality. With technology, AI, and social media, guidance is now just a few taps away. Whether you're scrolling through an astrology app or texting your personal astrologer for advice - you're far from alone. What The Numbers Reveal Data paints the same picture. A 2024 study by NumroVani found that 51% of young Indians seek astrological insights daily. Around 88% read horoscopes at least once a week, and 75% rely on astrology for matters of the heart. Digital astrology is booming, with platforms like Astrotalk and AstroVed offering AI-powered, personalised horoscopes and matchmaking services. The online astrology market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 14%, reaching over USD 750 million (approx. Rs 6,200 crore) by 2025. The pandemic only accelerated this trend - with online consultations rising by 20-25% in 2021 alone. Even traditional religious events are seeing a Gen Z revival. The recently concluded Kumbh Mela was attended by more than 400 million people - and a significant portion of them were young Indians. India's spiritual economy is evolving too. No longer limited to temple visits, it now includes digital services like virtual puja s, online pilgrimages, and astrology consultations. The religious and spiritual market was valued at USD 58.56 billion (approx. Rs 4.86 lakh crore) in 2023 and is growing at nearly 10% annually. Why Religion And Astrology Are Cool Again Millennials, for the most part, ran away from tradition. They chased career highs, buried themselves in long working hours, and quietly navigated mental health struggles without help. Gen Z, however, is rewriting the rules: embracing incense sticks, affirmations, gratitude lists, healing crystals, and birth charts. And they're doing it with pride. "There's no doubt - it's not just making a comeback, it's probably the next FOMO. Soon, people won't ask if you went out on the weekend - they'll ask if you aligned your karma for it," laughs Vanya Mishra, CEO and Co-founder of AstroSure AI, an app offering AI-powered astrology insights. According to Mishra, millennials buried spirituality under ambition and burnout. "But Gen Z? They're out of the rat race. They're in their own lane. For them, trauma healing is a priority. Millennials and their parents never even spoke about familial trauma - Gen Z wears it like a badge of honour," she says. Mental health expert Yuvette D'Sa agrees. "Gen Z understands both the empowering and problematic parts of religion. They don't just accept it blindly. They take what works for them - what gives them peace," she explains. In her view, this generation is honouring Indian traditions by reshaping them to fit modern realities. Kumaar sees Gen Z as trendsetters. "They're leading the digital revival of ancient sciences. Even late millennials - sandwiched between Gen Z and their parents - are beginning to turn inward because of it," he says. Mishra adds, "Social media has supercharged curiosity. And it's not just in India - the West is getting hooked on Vedic astrology too." Add Social Media To The Mix A quick scroll through Instagram will show you just how trendy astrology has become. Memes based on sun signs, retrograde rants, and celebrities sharing their spiritual routines - the stars are literally everywhere. Spiritual gurus like Premanand Govind Sharan (we all have seen his videos, he has 27.3 million followers on Instagram), or Aniruddhacharya Mahara, AKA 'Pookie Baba' (3.6 million followers on Instagram) are also becoming a part of this discourse with their own Instagram account sharing candid moments of wisdom. They further bring Gen Z and other younger generation's attention to religion and spirituality who follow Instagram religiously. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Bhajan Marg Official (@bhajanmarg_official) "Big names like Virat and Anushka, even Dua Lipa, are openly embracing astrology. That visibility is making spirituality aspirational again," says Mishra. And whatever is on social media and your stars follow is cool, right? 'Astrology Isn't A Trend Anymore - It's A Lifestyle Shift' What was once seen as superstition is now a daily part of self-care routines. From planning projects around moon phases to reciting affirmations during yoga, astrology is increasingly becoming second nature for many young Indians. "Young people today are using astrology and spirituality as tools to shape their identity and guide major life decisions - from careers to relationships, finance to health. For many, astrologers are their go-to advisors," Kumaar explains. Even choices like buying a wristwatch are being made based on astrological remedies now. At Mishra and her team created Agastyaa - an AI-powered astrological assistant - in response to rising demand for personalised, tech-savvy spiritual tools. The app's user data supports this shift. "Over 50% of our users are Gen Z. Relationship queries dominate. They chat with us late into the night, asking about their futures or just seeking emotional comfort," Mishra shares. Kumaar sees a similar pattern. "Roughly 73-74% of my recent consultations have been with young people. Once trust is built, they come back - some every week." According to him, astrology provides a safe, unbiased space for reflection. "It acts like a mirror, one that doesn't judge you. In relationships, friendships, even work teams, people are seeking energy alignment more than logic," Kumaar says. Mishra believes this shift is only going to grow, "Let's be real. Looking at the state of the world, turning inward might just be the coolest thing you can do right now. If something makes you feel better, or helps you grow - why wouldn't you do it?" Well, Gen Z seems to echo him.

Peace-time an illusion, must stay ready for uncertainty: Rajnath Singh
NEW DELHI: Defence minister Rajnath Singh on Monday said peace-time is nothing but an illusion and the country must stay prepared for uncertainty, adding that the performance of locally made weapons and systems during Operation Sindoor has spurred the global demand for India-made military hardware. Defence minister Rajnath Singh addresses the Controllers' Conference of the Defence Accounts Department (DAD) in New Delhi on Monday. (PTI) 'Even during periods of relative calm, we must prepare for uncertainty. Sudden developments can force a complete shift in our financial and operational posture. Whether it's stepping up equipment production or adapting financial processes, we must be ready with innovative techniques and responsive systems at all times,' he said, addressing the Controllers' Conference of the Defence Accounts Department (DAD). Operation Sindoor was New Delhi's direct military response to the April 22 Pahalgam terror strike. India launched the operation in the early hours of May 7 and struck terror and military installations in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK). It triggered a four-day military confrontation with Pakistan before the two sides reached an understanding on stopping all military action on May 10. A locally developed air defence control and reporting system, called Akashteer, emerged as the centrepiece of India's air defence grid during the four-day clash; it punctured multiple waves of Pakistani aerial attacks on Indian military installations, airbases and civilian areas by guaranteeing prompt detection and targeting of the incoming threats. The locally produced military hardware that packed a formidable punch during the confrontation with Pakistan included Akash surface-to-air missiles, the Samar (surface-to-air missile for assured retaliation) system, loitering munitions and several counter-drone weapons. 'The world is looking at our defence sector with new respect. A single delay or error in financial processes can directly affect operational preparedness,' Singh said. Most of the equipment India once imported is now being manufactured locally, he said. 'Our reforms are succeeding because of the clarity of vision and commitment at the highest level. Our effort is to ensure that decisions are taken swiftly so that we can begin manufacturing larger (jet) engines right here in India.' In April, Singh said manufacturing aero engines remains a challenge for India and the country is in talks with global firms to develop the critical capability to power fighter planes, drawing attention to a striking technology gap and steps being taken to overcome it. India is in talks with global engine makers such as Safran, GE Aerospace and Rolls Royce to build domestic capabilities. A derivative of the indigenous Kaveri engine, initially planned for fighter planes, is being developed to power armed drones. Highlighting the increasing strategic and economic significance of the defence sector, he called for a shift in perception from defence spending as mere expenditure to an economic investment with multiplier impact. 'Until recently, defence budgets were not seen as part of the national economy. Today, they are growth drivers,' he said, adding that India, along with the rest of the world, is entering a new phase of re-armament, marked by capital-intensive investments in the defence sector. Even small errors in the DAD's processes can have consequences, Singh said. 'At the place where you are working, if you make even a small mistake, then the soldiers do not get the necessary resources on time. Due to our negligence, there can be a problem in budget allocation and it directly affects operational readiness.'
