The Spirit of Gayatri Pragya (Superconscious Enlightened Intelligence) will soon uplift and transform Human Consciousness Worldwide

Gurudev prophesied in the January 1979 issue of Akhand Jyoti that by the year 2025 there will be a global upliftment and transformation of the divisive, ego-bound human consciousness into the Superconscious realm of Unity, Love, Light and blissful Life; i.e. emergence of golden Era of Righteousness or descent of Pragya Awatar in human hearts. He had declared that the movements of Yug Nirman Yojana and Gayatri Mission initiated by him would play a crucial role in this transformative process.

In 1979 he founded a unique laboratory for synthesis of science and spirituality – Brahmavarchas Shodh Sansthan. Around that period he also initiated a well-planned, vigorous and revolutionary campaign for establishment of a network of countrywide Pragyapeeths / Pragyamandals by undertaking extensive tours around the country. In addition, he conducted intensive training retreats and sadhana camps for preparing thousands of volunteers and sadhaks to take charge of the multifarious and widespread activities of the Mission during 1979-1981.Through his prophetic vision he could clearly visualize the catastrophic trials and tribulations that will overwhelm humanity during the four-decade long era-change period of 1980-2020/25 and published, as forewarnings, two very special issues of Akhand Jyoti – Pragya Awatar in August 1979 and Yug Sandhi in March 1980.Thus, this three-year period from January 1979 to December 1981 was of momentous significance in Gurudev’s life and work. We are, therefore, celebrating the Silver Jubilee of this Herculean effort of Gurudev during 2005-2007.

I was on a three weeks tour of USA, Canada and UK in July/August2005. During this period, the Mission organized two youth conferences in USA in which thousands of young men and women of Indian origin living and working in USA and Canada actively participated. In addition, a three-day World Dharma Summit was also organized by the joint efforts of Hindu University of America (Florida), Arya Gurukulam’s Swami Dayanand Saraswati and Professor Ved Chaudhari at Rutger University, New Jersey. About 500 eminent persons of Indian origin - leading religious personalities of various denominations of Vedic Sanatan Dharma, scientists, medical professionals, executives - took part in the summit and deeply deliberated upon ways and means of inculcating the spirit of Sanatan Vedic Dharma amongst the young generation of Indians abroad. These initiatives were warmly welcomed by the youth who attended the conferences and the summit. They resolved to consciously inculcate in their lives the perennial values and virtues of Indian culture and heritage.

In my keynote address at the Summit I put before the august assembly concrete steps whereby essence of Indian Vedic heritage could be kept alive and vibrant in the Indian youth living abroad and narrated the humble efforts that the Gayatri Mission has been making in this respect over the past many years. It was the unanimous view of all the participants in the summit that Gayatri Pariwar alone can play pivotal role in this task. Gayatri Mahashakti was unanimously hailed as the rallying light for all denominations of Aryan culture and spirituality. It is indeed a befitting tribute to the vision and work of our Gurudev. Let all of us parijans – his children - work still more dedicatedly to make his vision a reality. The terror-stricken humanity direly cries for peace, love and understanding.
