In Indian culture spirituality plays a vital role. Spirituality has the goal of liberation which means to acquire the moksha. It is an integration of Sadhana, meditation, mantra, Vedas, shlokas, etc. There are two basic and the greatest enemies of spirituality – Kama (lust) and Kanchana (Gold).Predominantly, in the modern age, human being became materialistic. Spiritual principles and spiritual ideals have very different place in Indian culture and tradition. Nowadays it has been affected due to modernization. In Indian culture, no doubt sadhus, saints, gurus are spiritual guide of Indian society. At present, they take advantage of innocent peoples’ gullibility. In Indira Goswami’s The Man from Chinnamasta Jatadhari does not deceive the people but deceives heroine Dorothy and many other women. Jatadhari fights against animal sacrifice. But in Mukunda Rao’s Confessions of a Sannyasi Ravi (Vivekachaitanya) is not a real saint. After two years’ refuge in the ashram, he becomes a fake saint and deceives the women also. Spiritual awakening is discussed by various writers in their works. Mukunda Rao and Indira Goswami are the prominent writers among them.
