However, about twenty years ago, marking the very first stirring of a new Satya Yuga, the transitional age called Krita Yuga started manifesting itself. Krita Yuga is a unique period of spiritual ascent, as the all-pervading divine power, called as Parama Chaitanya in Sanskrit, has become active at the level of ordinary human existence.

Chapter 2. Handmade clothes, made of natural materials, are easy to maintain and extremely economical. There is no need to buy replacements very often, as they get worn and torn only after a very long period. Actually, if you wear a sari you don’t have to waste your money on a tailor. It is a simple piece of material which can be arranged very quickly as a very beautiful and graceful dress, and which can be used for various other purposes as well.

Chapter 3. A benevolent ruler, in the form of a philosopher king, as put forward by Socrates, is the ideal person to be the head of government. Such a person must be an extremely wise, detached personality, without any desire for lust, power and money. There have been such persons in the recent past, people like Mahatma Gandhi, Ataturk Kemal Pasha, Anwar al Sadat, Lal Bahadur Shastri, Ho Chi Minh, Martin Luther King, Nelson Mandela, Dag Hammerskjyld and Mujibur Rahman.

Chapter 6. In the Hindu religion it was believed that every human being has the reflection of God in his heart, which is the spirit, the atma. If that is the case, how could we divide Hindu society into different castes? In the beginning of civilisation in India, for thousands of years people followed caste according to the nature of the person. This is called as ‘jaati’ meaning the aptitude of a person."

Chapter 7. World Peace can be achieved only when people in charge of world affairs get their self-realisation. They are leaders of different countries and through a Sahaja relation they will respect and love each other. They will be like benevolent kings, as described by Socrates, who will think of global peace. Today it seems as if the whole world is ablaze with war.

Chapter 8. Should we not begin to think in terms of one world, economically and even politically? With some restraint on consumerism and with a determination to have only so much and no more, the rich nations can assist the poorer ones to rise above the poverty line and to lead a reasonable life. Such a compassionate approach will give enormous joy and inner satisfaction to the rich. It will at the same time promote a better social order and World Peace.
