A CHANGE! A CHANGE! NOW THIS IS THE ONLY LOUD CRY HEARD THE WORLD OVER

“Even today India enjoys the cool shade of protection from those Rishi men of austerities whose efforts helped it get freedom from hard hearted alien rule. These days they are using their energies to help India get saved from attacks both within and without. In order that a disturbing state does not ensue they are giving security. But in future India shall progress extraordinarily in all fields of life. Not only this, it shall play a major role in uplifting other demeaned and under developed countries. This is because not only does India want to protect its own house but that it has to lead the world in every arena”. ………………Revered Gurudeva Shriram Sharma Acharya 1) India’s future is definitely bright Akhand Jyoti Magazine, Year 1974, Vol. 3, Page 55 2) Vishwa shanty mein bharat ki bhumika Akhand Jyoti Magazine, Year 1950, Vol. 2, Page 56 3) Hamare panch picchle aur panch agle kadam Akhand Jyoti Magazine, Year 1930, Vol. 3, Page 60 Along with a transforming India the picture of a transforming world is starting to become clear. When more years lapse by it will become extremely clear. Only then will people realize why the world’s great thinkers, spiritual seers and divine saints in one voice have proclaimed that in future India shall become the axis of a new world civilization about to be neo created. The basic designing of all worldwide transformation of the present and future shall commence in India. 72 year old Fritjof Capra said all this a bit smilingly. He dwells in California, USA with his wife and daughter. Apart from being a master physicist he deeply studied subjects like Sanskrit language, philosophy, spirituality, nature and environment. His special quality is that he deeply studies all subjects of interest to him in a very scientific manner. Those who know Capra laughingly say that he also tries to study subjects like history and politics too in a very scientific manner. At present he was talking to Jeffrey Mishlove. His books have always been highly eulogized by Jeffrey. Capra’s special mode of profound thinking is clearly visible in books authored by him called ‘The Tao of physics’, ‘The turning point’, ‘Uncommon wisdom’, ‘The web of life’, ‘The hidden connection’, ‘Green politics’ and ‘Belonging to the universe’. There are many people all over the globe who fully endorse his insightful thinking. Mishlove too says he is one of this breed. In this conversation Mishlove desired to know as to how Capra perceived present changes taking place in the world. Regarding this query Capra smilingly said: This shall be the new birth of India from ruins of the west. On hearing this Mishlove looked at him a bit amazingly. Capra understood his choked reaction and hence clarified: Western countries have spread out their cultures in all corners of the world. Today the entire world has imbibed western civilization qualities, culture, language, clothing style to the extent that in some form or the other we can see western knowledge and science prevailing everywhere. In the meantime all world humans tried to imitate western ways yet they did not gain true happiness. Even today people are immersed in imbibing a western lifestyle yet joy eludes them. It is this worldwide discontent that has initiated a worldwide transformation. What is most important is that people wish to live their lives fully. They yearn for fulfillment in life. Instead of being jailed in small nests they wish to encompass the entire sky and earth in their arms. They do not wish to just fight complexities pertaining to mathematics of life but that yearn to experience life’s poetry, philosophy and spiritual mysteries. These aspirations of theirs could not be satiated by western thinking and culture. This is the reason why cracks started emerging in their lives. In fact I will say that these cracks have already commenced taking the form of ruins. Jeffrey was hearing what Capra was saying. In between he asked: Openness is there in the west too, is it not? This forced Capra to laugh aloud. He said: You call nakedness as openness? Openness is always related to the widespread nature and thinking of individuals. Apart from India can you find universal and high stature thinking as given in the Upanishads in any part of the world? Can you find elsewhere such people in the form of individuals and gigantic groups who in order to solve the mysteries of one’s inner personality and the entire cosmos, surrender their entire life? Such people who while doing so do not allow their personalities to even touch any greed or desire? Mishlove accepted this fact put forth by him. Capra said: Many people have tried to paint Mahatma Gandhi’s tenets as unreasonable yet none of them succeeded. Today so many Arab nations are walking the path laid down by him. What is great is that which freedom is being searched for by people of Tunisia, Yemen, Morocco, Libya, Bahrain, Algeria, Sudan and Jordan? This is because they are not slaves of anyone. The correct answer for this is that they are searching freedom to live peacefully. This is the reason why these people have loudly blown the conch of a non violent revolution against power hungry dictatorship. Today’s search is for principles to live life. As a result western steps are heading towards the east and this is absolutely correct because the east especially India has gathered this wisdom since the past many centuries. Now the hour has arrived to render this wisdom of true living worldwide. But isn’t India yet in a backward condition? Answering this question of Mishlove, Capra replied: To an extent you are right, yet this state shall not continue for long. When we wish to ponder over the state and condition of any country then along with its present state its hidden potentials also must be taken note of. The biggest strength of India is its nature based and human resources. The reason why nature based resources in India have not been fully tapped is because human resources there have rendered themselves inactive and lame. But in today’s changed situation every lay person of India has awakened. They akin to Pandavas of Mahabharat Epic are campaigning against injustice. This journey shall not stop midway. In fact more campaigns for other problems faced shall be taken up. Along with this today’s light wind of change shall tomorrow be rendered a terrific storm of transformation. By rendering potent its potentials India along with reforming its condition shall give intense help to others too. People tired and nauseous while trying to amass material means and amenities shall step in the direction of India to learn spiritual practices from Indians. Henceforth these steps shall never face any obstruction and shall reach the desired goal. At that time a transforming India shall become a potent inspirer of change in every nook and corner of the world.
