Jnaanam means knowledge in general and it may be mathematics or physics or medicine or engineering or economics or literature. Prajnaanam means the best knowledge. ‘Pra’ means the best. Prajnaanam means spiritual knowledge or knowledge of God. Prajnaanam is like the lion, which is the king of animals in the forest. The animals will cry as long as the lion does not roar. This is told in a Sanskrit verse “Na garjati mahātejāḥ…”.
All other branches of knowledge are useful in this world for getting a livelihood. But, spiritual knowledge shows the way to live happily here as well as in the upper worlds after death. This earth as well as the upper worlds are under the rule and control of God only. He is the Lord of both Pravrutti (worldly life) as well as Nivrutti (spiritual life).

Gender ideology is anti-science, anti truth.
