Families are breaking and getting shattered the world over. With this pain in heart the socialist Bloom Carter set off on a journey spanning about 140 countries of the world. He travelled to various countries of all continents so as to gauge the condition of family life. He experienced deep agony on seeing that virtually everywhere families were breaking apart. He saw how relationships had changed drastically and how help and cooperation were fast disappearing. Senior citizens and aged people were so helpless and hence sad. Small babies who required breast feeding were sent off to crèches. Mental diseases were on an alarming rise since sensitive emotions and sense of goodwill were absent. Whether it was a child or old person, a teenager or youth, each one thirsted for true love and affection.

With reference to these studies and travels Carter reached India. He had read a lot about India’s natural beauty and ancient culture. Of course he was also well aware of its contemporary state. He knew that India being greatly influenced by Western culture had undergone an undesirable change. Suicides were on the rise due to a modern lifestyle and lack of familial sentiments. Every year statistics showed that the number of divorces were on a sharp rise yet Carter felt that where the cool River Ganga flowed, where Himalaya Mountains presented their cool shade, where Vedas and Upanishads were deeply pondered over, he had hopes of finding something precious in this era.

In this journey of his Bloom Carter reached Amritsar. There he saw such a family where 108 old and young people live together. Even today in this family children are showered with love and seniors and old people are highly respected. It is the dream of every family that their children grow up to become doctors, engineers, lawyers, builders, businessmen, police officers, teachers, professors and computer specialists. But generally all this is not always possible to attain yet it is the good fortune of Bhatia family tied together with the silken thread of love that majority of its members have attained high stature jobs and a few have retired from such great posts. Regarding this success the family members opine that if in any family love and affection rules there the divine love of Almighty God too showers the most.

The head of Bhatia household is Sudershankunar Bhatia whose age is 83 years. Previously he was a senior official in the postal department. His family members Ajay and Vinod Bhatia hold the posts of bank managers. Pradip Bhatia and Navdip Bhatia are doctors. Many other members include engineers, businessmen, teachers and senior police officials. Even women of this family are teachers, bank officers, doctors and have secured high posts in private companies. Children of the family are either studying for higher degrees or are getting ready to give IAS and other entrance exams. The entire family is a great example of education and success.

Whether it is someone’s birthday or marriage celebration, every family member contributes towards it. Every 1 or 2 months the family organizes a dinner party for a family get together. Every member united contributes for the expenses incurred. In this party are invited in laws of daughters, daughter in laws’ parental family, grandmother’s parental family and in laws of their sons. On this occasion the seniors and elder family members are specially offered honors. The family members say that food and partying is a mere excuse. In fact it is more of an opportunity to share each others’ joy-sorrow. In today’s times this family oozing with love and cooperation is akin to heaven where even today 5 generations live happily united.

When Bloom Carter met these family members his faith in family institution was rejuvenated. With reference to this thinking he got strength that in this era all precepts that of a revolution that reunite families the world over joyously can be unearthed in India. During this study travel of his he reached Navdarshanam spanning 115 acres of land 50 km away from Bangalore city. This was a very extraordinary application and experiment for success of larger families. Some researchers of Gandhi Peace Foundation and IIT-Delhi together commenced it between 1970 and 1980 AD.

The inspiring force behind this humongous family is the biographies of great saintly personalities. India’s spiritual heritage that has proved its scientific basis is the true wealth of this family. This gigantic family is based on the tenet that a person strays away from true family life by imbibing a modern lifestyle that is selfishly materialistic. Due to such narrow mindedness a person is led far away from his self, his near dear ones, Mother Nature and Almighty God. Its result is that crime, violence and terrorism get untold encouragement to proliferate the world over.

Members of this family opine that if a person is given true love and is imbued with a spiritual vision he/she can never walk on the path of falsehood. It is this reason that many experiments are carried out here for encouraging a cordial family way of life. Over here deep thinking is encouraged for scientific spiritual philosophy and art of living. Along with self dependence in family life for soul purification and spiritual development many original applications are made. On coming here Bloom Carter concluded that Navadarshanam’s positive energy and inspiration plays a major role in overcoming modernity straying hither thither in the storm of materialism and family institution that is getting ripped apart.

He opines that even in such dire world circumstances these are new shoots of revolution taking place in many other family institutions and those that shall take place in future. Today’s family sorrows are about to become tomorrow’s family life revolution. All precepts of such a revolution are already present in the fertile cultural land of India. During his journey Bloom Carter visited virtually all important pilgrim spots of India. He had a sacred glimpse of its historical, cultural and natural beauty. As fate would have it some read out a portion of Yug Nirman Mission’s publication to Carter: Family is that garden where grow plants/trees that are small, big, thorny, soft, fragrant, without fragrance etc. And all of its united existence renders the whole garden a unit. The beauty of the garden can be nurtured only if all its plants are secure and that they are not chopped off or uprooted. On hearing this Carter said: This thought definitely is a firm basis for a family oriented revolution. Management based on this thinking in future can give not only a very happy family life but that it shall bestow a new birth and a new life to the managing mother of the home and household.
