Hare Krsna Friends,
Please accept my humble respects. I am sending this note due to dramatic escalation in nuclear war rhetoric threat (ignoring my infirmities).
Please read this news article
We are in the middle of the next era of cold war, or maybe beginning phase of world war III.
Recently, Russia test-fired an ICBM. And now USA does the same and in the process also **explicitly** increased the nuclear war rhetoric.
USA: "we are prepared to use nuclear weapons in defense of our country if necessary."
This is happening because the world leaders are disconnected from their heart and inner self.
In this context, the duty of India and anyone born inside India should be to work for world peace. If each of us can spend ten minutes a day connecting to our inner self, that is the beginning of revolutionary transformation of our collective hearts that could one day reach the hearts of the world leaders and calm them down. Peace is biggest need in this turbulent times.
India indeed have crown jewels in terms of the teachings of sages such as Kabir, Mahatma Gandhi and Sri Krsna Chaitanya.
The world is facing a leadership crisis. One would hope/pray that Indians would raise upto the occassion.
Regards
sudhakar

We must know the present need of human society. And what is that need? Human society is no longer bounded by geographical limits to particular countries or communities. Human society is broader than in the Middle Ages, and the world tendency is toward one state or one human society. The ideals of spiritual communism, according to Yoga, are based more or less on the oneness of the entire human society, nay, of the entire energy of living beings. The need is felt by great thinkers to make this a successful ideology. Yoga will fill this need in human society. It begins, therefore, with an aphorism, janmādy asya yataḥ, to establish the ideal of a common cause.
Human society, at the present moment, is not in the darkness of oblivion. It has made rapid progress in the fields of material comforts, education and economic development throughout the entire world. But there is a pinprick somewhere in the social body at large, and therefore there are large-scale quarrels, even over less important issues. There is need of a clue as to how humanity can become one in peace, friendship and prosperity with a common cause. Yoga will fill this need, for it is a cultural presentation for the respiritualization of the entire human society.
