Why does materialism hated in Hinduism but praised in the western world?
But isn't materialism seen as a negative thing in the Western world as well? Like how they have the phrase "money can't buy happiness"?
Yes, that's true. However, there is still a strong emphasis on wealth and material possessions in the Western culture. In contrast, Hinduism values inner peace, contentment, and spiritual growth over material possessions.
