Editorial : Welcome the New Era by preparing ourselves!

“History moves in rhythmic waves, in a systaltic flow. It moves and moves, then there is a galloping jump….. All of a sudden there are galloping jumps – epoch-making eras. We are now at the threshold of this jump. We are not only at the threshold of a New Era, we have just crossed the threshold of a New Era. We are now at the threshold of something new – of a New Age – and we are now passing through such an age, ” says Shrii Prabha’ta Ranjan Sarkar while  delivering His Renaissance Universal discourse on the topic, “The Coming Ice Age” on 24 March 1990.

Shrii Sarkar also forecasted on 31 May, 1986 when He said,  “Poles shift their respective positions” and now we are realising today which is destined to happen and it is happening. It is now an objective truth. As a result, the tremendous changes are taking place on the surface of this planet in physical, psychic and spiritual planes. The changes will be more explicit in the physical plane and will be well perceived by human beings along with flora and fauna. That will affect the existential structure. In the same way there will be considerable changes on the collective psychic plane of humanity on the Earth in accordance with the changes having taken place in the Cosmological Order.

The recent geological research says that the subterranean table of sweet water is wantonly taken out by humans for surface uses which has created a sort of lope sided imbalance in the gravitational equipoise and equilibrium of the earth due to which the Earth’s poles are shifting.  Now it has been proven by the scientific research that the Earth’s poles are shifting which was made aware long back by Shrii PR Sarkar. The recent findings state that the temperature of the earth will increase and the icebergs will melt at large quantities thus enhancing the water level of the ocean and the world will realise tsunamis and earthquakes tremendously. The changes have already started and now we can perceive and analyse the causes behind that.

The shifting of Earth’s poles had already taken place several times in the past commencing different Ages with new developments and major unprecedented changes which took place after the arrival of New Ages on this earth. For example, The plants of the Tertiary Age could not be found in later ages, gigantic animals like Dinosaurs disappeared from the face of the earth following the second Ice Age. In the same way the third Ice Age will come which will witness changes in tropical regions and huge biological changes and as a result, a special order shall be created. The symptoms are changes in seasons, rainfall and climatic variations which will have a major impact on the flora and fauna as well as human beings. It will have a corresponding impact on the thinking processes of human beings as well. All the defective philosophies like materialistic, dogmatic and self- centred philosophies will not survive and will not help humans to survive.

In recent years, we have been witnessing the severe natural calamities occurring due to severe climatic changes and we are witnessing the serious situations of wars among nations with conflicting interests in different parts of the world. Today nobody cares about the casualties and destruction of properties, after all, it is the genuine interest which supersedes.

There is a gross ideological vacuum in the world today. There is a high need to accept the “Cardinal Human Values (Principles)” to consolidate the peaceful and blissful living on the earth today. Because the CHVs are almost unchangeable as they maintain a tactual relationship with the Cosmological Order (The Supreme Will of Parama Purus’a). The establishment of “Universal Humanism” and the One and Indivisible Human Society is the need of the day. Human Civilization will continue to exist but it will witness a lot of changes on the way to have a major shift from illogical, irrational and materialistic concepts of life to a more rational and practical paradigm (God-centred Ideology) which will help consolidate the base of a true human society on the earth.

We should not worry much except to prepare ourselves to follow the path which leads to the establishment of “Universal Humanism” that will pave the way through the ideological base of life. It will help humanity to realise the supreme oneness within and inspire to serve one and all as the veritable expressions of the same Cosmic Father.

We have already entered the New Era/Age through the annals of changes. Things will still change in the coming future. We must inculcate devotional sentiment as a mission within and treat all others with the compassionate hearts. A’nanda Ma’rga provides a balanced ideological mission of “Subjective Approach through Objective Adjustment”- the only Panacea to save the world from the coming catastrophic changes. I hope the ensuing year 2025 will be all graceful and blissful for the righteous ones by the Grace of the Almighty!
