Description: What lies ahead in India’s future? If we ponder over this question we can understand that different thinkers, social scientists, economists, weather scientists, futurologists and subtle seers in their own way have tried to put forth this same fact in varied ways that based on contemporary dire situations India’s future should not be gauged and before coming to such conclusions India’s spiritual heritage and ancient history too must be given due thought. Dr Fritjof Capra says that despite what the gross eye sees appears true, yet deep down it is not so. Its reason is a lack of that subtle vision that can identify truth and facts.

Regarding India there dwells deep truth in what researchers of truth have unveiled. No doubt our country India is passing through dire situations and is enmeshed in inner fights and enmity in such a manner that on seeing all this visibly it does not appear that in future times to come it shall lead the world. And yet what cannot be challenged is that without dark clouds looming large one can gain relief from heat that agonize our body. It is definite that before joy, sorrow appears and before sweet success is tasted we have to face failures. Despite this one must not believe in an absolute fashion that this is a permanent situation and in fact one must implicitly believe that the time of glory is fast arriving. If on seeing a woman about to deliver her new born baby undergoing pain someone says that it is such a hardship that its solution is an immediate operation one can only pity such thinking. The intellect and conscious stature of those who have no faith in India’s bright future simply on the basis of contemporary situations is certainly not high.

On the other hand there is no dearth of such subtle divine seers who beforehand on noting subtle events growing in the womb of future have made prophecies of India’s bright future. One such seer war Mcgeorge Bundy. While reviewing the book ‘Retreat from doomsday’ written by John Guller has opined that after the Roman Empire this is that very long time period wherein we are witnessing worldwide tensions loosening a bit. He writes that the human race has clearly realized that it is wars that are the biggest enemy of the world and its progress. Hence today the world needs total peace. Very emphatically while accepting his observation he says that according to my subtle vision I clearly see that henceforth neither Hitler, Mussolini, Anti Christ or a big colonial empire shall take birth. Even if it takes birth it will be some great person full of compassion whose goal shall not be destruction, hatred for progress but shall be to usher in world brotherhood. This great saint shall be born in India only because its cultural heritage and spiritual vision is so cosmic and deeply profound in nature that talking of anything less than this shall be akin to growing flowers in the blue sky.

In ‘Time’ magazine in 189 an article was published similar to observations made as above. Its title was ‘Super India’. Its author HS Munro says that by itself the image of India in the eyes of the western World is one possessing blind beliefs and a hard line country but henceforth not any longer shall India be labeled thus because such a Great and Super India is about to dawn whose spiritual energy is by and by going to attract the entire world.
Mr. Ross N Munro in a front page article of ‘Time’ magazine (3rd April, 1989) who accepts that India holds the 4th spot in the world after Russia, China and USA from the standpoint of weapon power writes that patriotism to the country, its glorious cultural heritage, deep seated roots of spirituality and radiant intellectual power of the group of scientists-thinkers definitely shall not only be rendered a great continent of the world but that also it shall become a Super Power. His observations are based on many facts which he has presented as proof in his article. He opines that India so far looked upon as a country of snakes/ascetics and mosquitoes/malaria was sleeping yet today this demon has arisen. Great saints born in the past 2 centuries has helped radiate consciousness of the public and from the standpoint of a population in excess of 8 billion the 2nd public power of the world in future via its activities shall usher in a people’s revolution. This indeed is most definite.

In actuality it is the intellectual class of the Western World that opines that India is emerging as a Super Power. They look upon India as the central focus of its hope of a bright world future. They say that the western world is undergoing a ‘Crisis of Ideas’. Lack of faith in ethical values has created such a complex situation they are asking themselves ‘what should be done and what not should be done’. Describing this in his book “The turning point” Fritjof Capra says as long as intellectuals and scientists do not wriggle themselves out of the spider’s net by taking guidance from easterners till then widespread thinking cannot spread out in world society.

The root cause of our cultural crisis is that those who are our leaders have no solutions to problems arising when an era changes. He says that today the entire human race is standing at that point akin to ebb and flow of tides where the future has to be decided upon. This point of transformation in Chinese Culture is called ‘bayanji’. It means that situations created regarding fearful dangers and also opportunities of change. Thus in this word dwells both the dark gloom of era junction time span and the golden sunrise of a New Era. Dr Capra opines that western socialists now accept that today the entire world has entered a phase of era junction period. In the initial phase augmenting of psychiatric diseases, situation of war frenzy, increase in terrorism, social disintegration etc face us arrogantly yet in the final phase the future generation of peace bestowing great men promise us all that whatever distortions seen now are transient in nature. The rapid nature of transformation tells us that the 21st century is harbingering in with a radiant future and in its dawn India shall play a major role. Those who understand the subtle inspiration embedded in the root of Dr Capra’s deep thinking shall not challenge the above observations of his.
