Resurgence of Vedic thoughts and ideas as a future way of Living!

Prophecies and predictions of the future of the World are a highly searched Google term ! 
Enlightened Indian Spiritual Masters and sages have made and documented their prophecies of the future of the World through extensive Literature penned by them. 

Enclosed is one such translation penned as a  short excerpt in May 1956 , by The Divine Sage and Spiritual Scientist - Pandit Shriram Sharma Acharya . This excerpt was first published  in the wonderful  monthly magazine titled , Akhand Jyoti. 

The excerpt talks of the re-rise and resurgence of Vedic Indian traditions in coming times  and a rise in an inclination to adopt a Vedic Lifestyle ( spiritually elevated lifestyle) by future generations of the world . 

By Vedic life, we mean a life of simplicity and high idealism, a life empowered by knowledge and wisdom, a life where we find joy in giving and sharing and have empathy for all beings around us. A life where we live in balance and harmony with the world around us and also our environment. 




Quoted and translated text:

"The sun is set to rise once again on Indian culture and its way of life. As I write,the world is changing and moving towards a new world order. Till now wealth was controlled by a handful of persons, now the time has come when the wealth will transfer and move to the needy and poor. 


In the olden days Indian spirituality commanded a lot of recognition and respect, India was known to be the land of gold & riches (‘Soney ki Chidiya’) and its people were veneered to be an exalted race. Men with courage and a spirit of sacrifice were commonly found in most households. With the passage of time the highly evolved and spirited Indian race found itself distanced from its age old ideals and the state of the nation deteriorated.

That time has come again when India and Indian culture will find its age old glory restored. The sun will once again shine on garnering qualities of wisdom, strength and knowledge. Currently, the world over we hear people demanding and struggling for their rights, but I say before we focus on our rights let us also be focused on our duties.
Western thought says that the path to progress lies in raising the society’s standard of living, whereas Eastern and Indian thought places a greater premium on spiritual and emotional advancement as the true sustainable path to mankind’s progress. We can find solutions to all problems of life by adopting once again the old values propagated by our sages and seers.

A nation’s government and politicians can only guarantee and protect the citizen’s rights but as citizens our happiness and sadness cannot be guaranteed or protected by the nation’s governments. 
Our state of happiness lies in our control and can be directed and controlled by us through our own individual spiritual & emotional advancement. Indian spirituality (or spirituality in general) has the power to make true human beings out of mankind

Towards this achievement, Indian spirituality gives an important message -That Mankind has been created to spread love and happiness towards its fellow beings and not to engage with each other in endless fights and wars. Let us practice Ahimsa (non violence) and let us find progress not just through material advancement but through our enhanced spiritual and emotional advancement."
