Pt. Shriram Sharma Acharya Vangmaya Vol. 26, An Introduction
I had to go to the Himalay³s a number of times in the past on the direction of my Gurudev for performing s³dhan³ in solitude. People link these journeys with something miraculous. They believe that the Himalay³s are the abode of miracle-performing beings and realised souls. In fact, I had to go to the Himalay³s to become more introvert.
The exterior life of a person is dominated by outer events but his inner life is influenced by feelings and sentiments. An illumined mind and a loving heart constitute spirituality. The rat-race for gratification of desires and amassing of material objects is materialism. Since I have dedicated my whole life to demonstrate life-affirming spirituality, while outwardly leading a normal worldly life, it became essential for me to occasionally retire into solitude with a view to nullify any influence of materialism on the exterior life. An effort was made during my agy³tv³s (living in solitude in an unknown place) in the Himalay³s to bring the soul as close to God as possible.
Excerpts from "My Life Its Legacy and Message"
Autobiography of Pandit Shriram Sharma Acharya
CHANGE OF WORLD ORDER - HOW AND WHEN ?
( Yug Parivartan : Kaise Aur Kaba ?)
he present period of change of a millenium is also a special juncture of great transition. Prophecies of the seers of the ancient
T
and the modern times share common views about the critical circumstances before the dawn of a new era…. The world today is apparently passing through the most arduous and challenging phase of crises and calamities. Under the threats of nuclear and star wars, the existence of life on the earth seems to be lying at an edge of extinction today… The possibilities of brighter era appear to be realizable by nothing less than a miracle… Perhaps these are the moments for which Lord Krishna has assured in the holy Gita as -"Age after age….., I come into being…., to protect the pious life along the righteous path of truth and to devastate the evil tendencies, terrors and disorders……".
The ancient Indian scriptures on Astrology describe the present era - from 1850 A.D. to 2000 A.D. approximately - as the period of great change, of transition from
Kaliyug
(teh Age of moral decline and darkness of ignorance and evil influences) toSatyug
(the Age of divine values and culmination of human dignity). TheKaliyug
is in its last phase at present and the dawn ofSatyug
is in the offing….That is why the present time is also referred as the
yug sandhi k³la
- junction of two eras.Although some fundamentalists and orthodox religious masters consider that the beginning of
Satyug
is still away by more than several million years, this claim appears to be a misconception in view of the scientifically justified, thoughtful arguments and authentic references cited by Gurudeva Shriram Sharma Acharya in the present volume. Excerpts from the scriptures ranging from - Bhavishya Purana, Harivansha Puran to Shrimad Bhagawat andmental refinement of masses. Detailed reports on such programmes conducted and ongoing under the mission's banner are available in the mission's center - Shantikunj, Hardwar.

Yagya
s are considered as effective means of excelling total health of everyone, every natural system, ranging from individual to cosmic levels. They are invited to come forward to perform and participate in theYagya

Excerpts from the scriptures ranging from - Bhavishya Purana, Harivansha Puran to Shrimad Bhagawat andGita are also given here along with the proofs on correct methods of computation of planetary time according to the ancient Indian Science of Astrology.
The author, Gurudev Shriram Sharma has described the past twenty to twenty-five years (1980 to 2005 A.D. approximately) of
yug sandhi
as the anti-climax of the darkness of
Kaliyug
which ought to end with the glow of the dawn ofSatyug
…. This period has and will witness severe destruction, disorder, anarchy, natural calamities, wars, explosive situations, terror, hunger, epidemics, large scale disturbance and decline of human values…. Apart from the poisonous pollution of the atmosphere and disruption of the ecosystem, the unprecedented occurrences of tragic incidents, steep rise in aggressive tendencies, massacres, rapes, psychological disorders, frequency of suicides, ever new diseases….. etc have also dangerously polluted the environment of life in this transition phase…..Today, every body seems to be somewhat suspicious about his own health and survival…. But, this allround 'threat' to happy and peaceful life on the earth also appears to be a part of the 'warnings' of mother Nature and its divine creator to mankind. The attacks of sufferings and agonies are bound to induce the sentiments of compassion and force the comfort-hungry minds of today to rectify their selfish attitude and change the way of life according to the crying call of humanity. This is also a time of final and decisive struggle between the divine and the devil powers. It is a testing time for the saintly ideologies and virtuous tendencies. Their miraculous strength is going to arouse and manifest itself on multiple fronts after this phase of emergency….
The remarkable progress of scientific and technological advancement has virtually conquerred the Nature and made today's man 'omnipotent' in terms of materialistic wealth and power….. The ultra fast air-crafts and speedy automobiles on the one hand, and rapid communication links through man-made satellite networks have shrunk the peripheries of the world and brought the people across the globe in closed contact…. Howbeit, the blind race for
technological innovations and luxury-oriented and commercialized development has led to excessive exploitation of the natural resources and has disturbed the natural harmony of the ecosystem too. The consumerization based and power-hungry policies of the so called rational thinkers have converted the boons of science into curses in more than one respect.
Increasing level of poisonous gases in the atmosphere and the alarming disruption of the ozone layer - are the best known negative effects of modern 'developments' which have invited harmful radiations and dreaded diseases in return….. The radiance of sun, which sends huge stock of energy - of the order of that of seven hundred thousands megawatt bombs - everyday on our planet is also disturbed these days… The large number of solar eclipses and sharp increase in the appearance of the black spots on the sun is going to have exceptional effects on geo-magnetism, biomagnetism and the environment of life by the end of 2015 AD.... The one-sided developments - neglecting the social and psychological dimensions of human life - has been the worst of the curses of the modern civilization as it has threatened to uproot the very basis of humanity by 'evaporating' the streams of human sentiments in the 'heat' of sensual pleasure, ego and selfish intellect…..
Acharya Sharma was a saintly social reformer and a sagacious seer;
whatever he predicted from time to time about the major events in the global scenario since 1940 have come true…. He never declared these predictions as prophecies… Rather, he presented his views in a convincing manner with authenticity. Readers will get the flavor of his great vision, wisdom and modesty in this volume….. While mentioning about the current period of
yug sandhi
and bright future ahead in the 21st century, he also cites and explains the foresighted experiences and prophecies of the august yogi Sri Aurobindo, celebrity palmist and prophet Cairo, great thinker Romain Rolland and renowned astrologers and clairvoyant foreseers like Nostradamus, Shri Gopinath Sharstri, yogi Anandacharya, Madame Boriska, Jean Dixon, Anderson Gerard Kreisel, Charlse Clark, Prof.Hatar, George Bavery…. etc.
Gita are also given here along with the proofs on correct methods of computation of planetary time according to the ancient Indian Science of Astrology.

Be that the excerpts form ancient scriptures - including the holy Bible, Kalki Purana, Bhavishya Purana etc., or the published utopia based hypotheses of the thinkers like Alvin Toffler, Fritjof Capra, Prof.
Hamische McRae etc, all have been analyzed thoroughly in this volume in the context of the future of the world in this new millenium.
Gurudev Sharma also elucidates the possibilities of bright future stating that the supreme source of divinity exists in universal beauty and order…. He reminds us that even in the critical period of adversities today, we should not lose faith in
thy
protection because, the eternal creator would never allow HIS marvellous creation - the gigantic world, the enormous variety of living beings and limitless prosperity of the nature…. - to be ruined in dearth…. Thy powers or divine incarnations, appear at the right moment as per the need of the critical time periods and control the circumstances in order to save the universal order and existence of life and serene flow of beauty and love in HIS creations….The inspiring words of Gurudev go deep down in the reader's mind and heart and the light of his acumen and foresight makes it clear that
thy
grace has appeared in the present era as "Pragy³vat³ra
" - incarnation of divine intellect to educe upright change in the attitude and mentality of the masses, illuminate human-intellect in the righteous direction and awaken the inner sentiments of pure love and boundless compassion….In Acharya Sharma's words - "Divine incarnations come into being in the critical moments like the present ones…. In all Ages, the incarnations of God awaken collective consciousness and raise the inner strength of people. The life-force and enthusiasm thus inspired indeed conquers all vices and adversities and eventually transforms the 'impossibility' into a visible reality….. Those having a foresight can clearly visualize the descent of the holy 'Ganges' of the divine consciousness (of
Pragy³vat³ra
) which is going to purify the minds and intrinsic sentiments of the people and cultivate the serene environment for the advent of a bright era…." .The author has initiated a great spiritual experiment of "
Yug Sandhi Mah³purashcharana
" since 1980 to help proper conditioning of the subtle environment for the manifestation and expansion of the divine inspirations ofPragy³vat³ra
. This experiment involves collective participation of billions of people across the globe. Details are available in the present volume and some earlier volumes (onG³yatrº s³dhan³
) of this series. Acharya Sharma had also conducted unique experiements on sublime expansion of his own vital spiritual force. These are covered in the volume nos. 28 and 29.In his special address entitled "
Mah³kala K³ Sandesha
" (Divine Message of Eternity), delivered in January 1990, he had authentically warned that refinement of conduct and adoption of virtuous and altruistic mode of life is essential for everyone for surviving the test of the present times…. Those who follow the righteous path of divine disciplines by inculcating the pure sentiments of love, compassion and mutual respect and by devoting their potentials for the high ideals of truth and collective welfare would acquire the orgulous honor of being associated with thedivine force ofPragy³vat³ra
. They would indeed cooperate in making the 21st century a bright era for all……The present volume would acquaint the readers with the gamut of authentic predictions about the future of the world in the new millenium. It will also warn about the disastrous end of the misdeeds of today and provide detailed guidance on -"How to go about…?",
"What to do….?",…… in order to march towards the glorious future.
The emblem of "21st Century - Bright Future" is inviting us to rise, join hands and come forward to revive the dignity of humanity and make this world a better place to live...
