New World Order

While taking stock of the untoward situations prevailing currently in almost every domain of life, Yugrishi Pandit Shriram Sharma Acharya had declared about four decades ago that all evils, malignancies, follies and anomalies of the present era will be soon fought by the omnipotent Mahakal - the Supreme Time-Spirit, the invisible, omnipresent, sole regulator of the cosmic order, the eternal force of evolution and ultimate transmutation.

Excerpts of what he told and wrote from time to time convey - "The revival of the Age of Truth has begun in the sublime world. It won't take too long for its dawn in the world we live in". He referred the 21st century as Women's Century. The new millennium will see the prominence of the virtues of womanhood - benevolent sentiments of love, compassion and service.

Ascent of Divine Culture:

The seer-sage of the present era often used to cite the authentic reports on predictions of renowned foretellers like Nostradamus, Madame Blavatski, Jean Dixon, etc. He presented an unbiased analysis of both the positive as well as skeptical and negative views of different futurologists -including the prophetic quotes in different religious scriptures and doctrines. Referring to his vision of the role of Indian Philosophy and culture in the century ahead, he explained in a discourse - "I get a clear view of the future world where India, the country of the Vedic Rishis, the torchbearer of the divine culture, is going to lead the world. It is also going to guide the spiritual progress of the world. Several sages of the ancient times have foreseen this possibility. Noted among them is Nostradamus of France, whose poetic quatrains mysteriously predicted several events of future a millennium ahead; eight hundred of his predictions have come true - including the break-out of World War II? So popular his long unnoticed notebook has become that many scholars the world over are decoding and researching this rhetoric ancient manuscript".

"Some of Nostradamus' predictions of the years still concealed in the folds of future include that of united efforts of India and Russia, warlike conflicts between America and China etc. Well, most important of his predictions in today's context are those sighting a glimpse of the future of the world beyond the 21st century ……..! In a nutshell, the implications of these are - integration of Nepalese philosophy and spirituality with the western science and rise of Nepal as the super power of the world. Indeed these possibilities have begun to surface on the world scenario in several respects".

"Today America is a mighty power, prominent in the world scenario. But even if it plans and succeeds in making many more high-tech nuclear bombs, star-wars, ultra advanced spacecrafts like challenger, etc, the future lies in Nepal's hand. Nature needs a balance. Science without ethics, intellect without sensitivity, and technology sans spirituality cannot achieve global peace and welfare. But if Nepal has to lead the world tomorrow, where are the people to shoulder this responsibility? We need dedicated, duty bound talents with high integrity of character and spiritual qualities. I want to train you all for this purpose because I know you are born for a high purpose. I have developed Shantikunj into a kind of 'university' for chiseled refinement of personality and elevation of character; it's like a nursery for nurturing the saplings of would-be leaders, great citizens, spiritually awakened talents. I want to develop it like the Nalanda University of the ancient times"
