KEYWORDS: Brahmavarchas research institute mental activities human consciousness world welfare desirable situations joy success viewpoint high stature serene state psyche wholesome glory pinnacle gold self awaken God psyche influence thought flow potent energy material spiritual philosophy intellectual speech logic proof modern science theism information technology ocean churn poison revolution movement challenge superficial power sacred sentimentsThe research area of Brahmavarchas Research Institute is indeed very widespread. It encompasses obstruction of all those vile mental activities which disallow human consciousness to rise to great heights. In its place we desire that our outstanding thinking be conjoined to great pious activities for world welfare. On the face of it, it seems as though our life is directed by our needs, circumstances faced and results of our actions. When circumstances are desirable we are happy and when they become undesirable we cry and wail aloud in grief. Based on this belief we amass material means so as to create desirable situations. Almost everyone the world over indulges in this thinking he/she will reap success and joy.For more scientific e-books visit: http://www.shriramsharma.com/ (GOOGLE PR 4) and http://www.awgp.org/ (Google 5)Despite this virtually universal belief if one dives deep into it the truth that emerges is totally different. No doubt human consciousness is influenced by external attractions and pressures yet it is in no way absolutely dependent on it. This is because even if desirable objects and circumstances do not come ones way yet it is quite possible that on the basis of inner greatness i.e. with the help of a high stature viewpoint ordinary or even very difficult circumstances can be faced with a calm serene smile. Not only this but even in the midst of dire situations which are full of obstacles one can advance both materially and spiritually in life that too in a big way. There are examples of people reveling in the most wholesome situations and yet they lead miserable lives. Thus it is crystal clear that circumstances in a certain sense are not to be blamed and that ones downfall or advancement is directly related to ones mental state.It is certainly not necessary that our mental state progresses only if desirable means are at our disposal. This is because obstacles faced by us can nourish our psyche very wholesomely. In fact the stark reality is that untoward/dire situations give man a golden opportunity to augment our daring, zest and zeal. Thus initially on the face of it they seem to be insurmountable obstacles but ultimately they are our true friends since they help us advance a great deal in life. At this point we must ignore the outlook of ignorant people. When compared to them wise people will easily imbibe the fact that the human psyche/mind is an independent and self regulatory energy. With the help of exalted thinking it can independently progress a lot and thus reach the pinnacle of human glory. External wholesome situations are like fragrance added to gold. And yet even if there is a total lack of it yet no harm comes in the way of our soul advancement. If and when the infinite storehouse of our mental potential is awakened man can perform tasks termed ‘miraculous’ by laymen. It is akin to getting a boon from Gods and Goddesses.The belief that man can be influenced merely by material means is widespread everywhere. Hence the world over it is seen that people run madly after amassing wealth and material comforts (house, TV, computer, AC etc). Rare are those who clearly understand the true reality of human life. They give more importance to the advancement of their psyche and have deep faith that it is high thinking that manifests intense/potent energy in their soul. When the thought flow i.e. its viewpoint is transformed positively ones personality changes for the better phenomenally. When you positively change your psyche your external circumstances are bound to follow suit with relative ease and speed. It is not in man’s hands to change external situations per se but yes our mental state certainly can be changed by us. A positive psychic transformation manifests intense joy and a very easy path is laid down by it for man to ascend the peaks of both material and spiritual success.Very briefly put materialism involves influencing of the psyche via external circumstances. On the other hand spiritualism involves changing ones mental state so as to change external circumstances. By itself none of these can be ignored yet depending on what is more important to an individual that ideology will be adhered to. Today the Philosophy of Materialism has ensnared the mindset of virtually entire world humanity. As a result virtually no one feels it is important to raise ones mental state.Thus today our task is well designed. In that those spiritual tenets that make man’s thinking powerful and great should be placed before world humanity with a ‘new packaging’. This new packaging is definitely required because if the basis changes its application and designing too requires a face lift. In ancient times faith was given a lot of importance and was well imbibed too. Hence if scriptural proof, speech of great thinkers, advice of preceptors/Gurus, true traditions etc. were put forth there then remained no need of any other proof, witness etc. Thus with deep faith an individual’s psychic state advanced greatly. But today faith or theism is a virtual taboo. Intellectualism of contemporary times has made progress phenomenally. Hence at every step intellectuals demand proof, logic, rationality etc before accepting any tenet or principle. In a certain sense mere faith has no value for them. Similarly the miraculous attainments of Modern Science has further emphasized on proof, logic etc. Hence when ever any important principle is discussed it is accepted only if it is proved to be true scientifically. To the extent that Philosophical Science too whose very basis is logic are out to prove their principles true with the help of a strong scientific footing.The situation is strange. The horse of Spiritual Philosophy was trotting along merrily for a great length of time but since unwholesome elements have made an entry in its realm, a face lift is the need of the hour. Even if faith is accepted in certain quarters its car will move ahead with the help of its wheels viz. intellectualism and scientific analysis but certainly not scriptures and traditional culture. One can say that now perforce Spiritual Science will have to be put forth with a new scientific basis. This task is as difficult as assigning a new basis to materialism. Thus both tasks will have to be taken up simultaneously. If we make efforts to assign greater importance to nourishment of ones thinking in comparison to amassing material comforts it is akin to reversing the very thought flow of this modern era of information technology. Keeping in mind the gigantic nature of our endeavor it seems as though somewhere down the line we are trying to re-create this world. Thus the entire thought arena of the world will have to be churned thoroughly. In ancient Indian Mythology (Puranas) there is the episode of Samudra Manthan or the churning of the ocean. In that great men had dared to churn the entire ocean. Although as a result of it precious jewels emerged yet before that a great transformation had to be undergone. Initially Halahal poison came out and after that wine. Poison kills us whereas wine intoxicates us. It is only when both were removed that Samudra Manthan continued further. Ultimately after intense efforts precious jewels emerged from the churned ocean.Today’s Samudra Manthan will involve neo creation of world human thought flow. If these efforts succeed a dual benefit will be witnessed by all and sundry. Today’s Halahal or poison is man’s egoistic/selfish behavior narrow-minded thinking unwholesome desires and the attitude of eat, drink and be merry. This is the root cause of man leading a beastly life full of ghastly actions when in reality there lies potential in him to lead a life of great Rishis, saints etc of yore. Varuni is that which mocks farsightedness and generosity and instead revels in the ocean of psychic taints (Kusanskaras). Hence our very first goal is to overcome these two vile qualities from the human psyche. This is no doubt a formidable task i.e. difficult but not impossible.Similarly after warding off taints the ‘empty space’ must be filled up immediately by principles that encourage great thinking. This dual task is like fighting 2 wars one at the same time. This war is as long as our world. It is as gigantic as a mob of 0.4 billion human beings. Very briefly put it certainly is not an overstatement if we say that it is the total transformation of the subtle world of consciousness. Our Thought Revolution Movement is not a small time endeavor like removal of social evils, removal of blind traditions etc. Assuming this were the case that area could have been positively transformed via a small group of social reformers. But the fact is that our task is more deep, subtle, gigantic and extremely important.Apart from this a bigger challenge stares wide eyed in our face. In that it cannot be executed by a lone valiant warrior however powerful he/she maybe. Instead great thinkers full of world well being is most required. No doubt thinkers abound in our world and with a good amount of cash they can be ‘bought’ too. They can execute tasks that are apt or otherwise. And yet for our mission not only will they be of no use but will be difficult for us to employ. Sharp thinking is priceless and where does one have the ‘money’ to buy it? And if it is devoid of faith it cannot delve deep into our mission’s research endeavor. He who is devoid of faith can argue superficially like a lawyer but ultimately his/her logic will prove to be like an empty vessel. It will neither manifest life nor a potent influential power. This type of research full of lameness, blurred vision etc can prove to be useful very minutely and yet it has no place in our gigantic mission which aims at in depth scientific research.Thinking or mental reflection has 2 aspects viz. intellect and sacred sentiments (Bhava). The arena of the intellect is our brain and that of our sentiments is our bosom/heart. When we say ‘heart’ it is not the anatomical bag that circulates our blood. Instead it is that sensitive area of our inner consciousness wherein an admixture of our aspirations and desires go on to form our psyche. It is the polar region, fount and navel of ones inner personality. This sensitive focal point can tell us whether man is gentlemanly or vile in nature. From here emanate sacred vibrations that induce man to go about working not only for his well being but the world at large. The utility of ones intellect is limited to understanding various tenets and principles. It is generally weighed on the basis of how much material benefits have been amassed. Hence the intellect always is tilted towards amassing of material comforts etc. And yet if one wishes to imbibe greatness in ones life one will have to control ones attraction for material based pursuits along with their enjoyment. This decision is not in the hands of the psyche and that only our Bhava or sacred sentiments can do the needful. The new era will hence be neo created on the firm foundation stone of human sacred sentiments. In spiritual parlance it is called Bhakti or devotion to divinity in any form. Bhakti means sacred sentiments that coax mankind to aspire for greater heights both materially and spiritually. It is said to be synonymous with Shradha or deep faith. If we desire that people imbibe a sense of sacrifice/renunciation, religious vows for self control and austerities for reaching spiritual peaks they must be egged on to follow the Path of Bhakti or Devotion.History is witness to the fact that it was simply on the basis of our sacred emotions that man’s psyche was molded aptly. Man was thus given a wholesome path of living a life of world well being wherein all the dire obstacles faced by him were overcome calmly and with a serene smile. Of course it is not as though Rishis, great men, saints etc lack an intellect yet their consciousness is taken over by sacred sentimental vibrations/Bhava. If this were not the case they too would have utilized their wily intellect to amass material wealth and comforts. It has been seen time and again that less educated and poverty stricken individuals too have become spiritual kings at some point in time of their lives. The reason being that their inner inspiration to pursue sacred ideals, ethics etc helped them overcome innumerable obstacles and with the help of their sacred sentiments they became prime examples of renunciation and sacrifice for a supreme cause. It is a very important step in this New Age to radiate ones sacred sentiments and augment our devotional principle by leaps and bounds. We will most definitely have to take recourse to the cultural tradition and heritage of both religion and spirituality for our supreme goal of Era Transformation. Instead if one ignores this only to lean on intellectual wiliness people will superficially understand things but will never aspire for true greatness. Of course lip service in the form of superficial eulogies will be heard everywhere but will never help our goal of Era Transformation.Generally atheistic intellectualism ultimately veers towards hard heartedness and unruliness. When we cast a glance at so called ‘intellectuals’ it is crystal clear that on the one hand they are adept, skillful etc and yet they fail to establish sacred ideals and human values in society. The intellectual class of writers, poets, lawyers, political leaders, artists etc no doubt is small in number yet if their intellectual brilliance had been based in actions meant for world welfare it could have by now transformed the entire world positively. But alas the situation is quite hopeless as of now. Brilliant people the world over are busy swelling their bank balances. Many among them no doubt talk of ideals, values etc but know for sure it is mere lip service. In the garb of ideals etc they are out to amass wealth, name and fame only for their petty selves. And hence one can safely conclude that their contribution to world society is not even equal to that made by an honest laborer, clerk of the lowest rung, humble farmer or servant working in a household. The bare fact is that directionless and hence a wayward intellectual class has done more harm to the world than given any benefits.Our respected readers should understand that the above observations have certainly not been made to rant and rave against the power of the intellect. Instead the idea is to conjoin sacred sentiments/Bhava to a brilliant intellect. This indeed is the reawakening and reformation of Bhakti Tattva or the devotional element of our soul. This verily is Amrit or Soma Rasa (divine immortal nectar). Many are making efforts to augment ones IQ. Now what they need to do is to induce great thinking in ones psyche and augment sacred sentiments. The research focus of Brahmavarchas indeed is this. Keeping in mind the all round uplifting of world creatures this endeavor certainly should be lauded and eulogized.How gigantic and widespread is the task taken up by the Brahmavarchas Research Institute? This answer can be given only if we realize that light will have to be thrown on thousands of activities and situations that influence in thousands of ways, thousands of classes of world humanity, numbering up to about 40 billion. Vile instincts and beliefs that enhance beastly behavior did not establish itself in one day. This is because after Satyuga or Golden Age vileness in order to firmly establish itself in the human psyche put forth very alluring arguments, logic, examples and proof. It was only after ‘great’ efforts by these that people thought it to be ‘beneficial’ and gleefully imbibed psychic taints. By itself a mountain of dirt and waste matter can be burnt to ashes using a very tiny spark of fire. And yet this is not how it is disposed off. Instead certain very well defined means are used to dispose off waste matter. The same holds true for destroying taints in world human psyche. The field of thought revolution is so vast and gigantic that a very apt change needs to come in vogue as far as every belief, every tradition/culture, every mental inclination and type of personality is concerned. This is an all world revolution. Over here ‘all’ means every form of thinking. The function of consciousness as also its character is thinking. It is the fount of ones capability. Circumstances are but its consequence. To the extent world human psyche is purified to that extent world problems will be solved and wholesome situations will be ours for the asking. No doubt if we wish to herald a bright future in the 21st century material comforts/gains too are required and yet never should we ignore the prime importance of nourishing our psyche with elevated thinking and run madly after material pursuits know for sure that our dream of human advancement and world peace will never be realized. Thus the fundamental tenet of neo creation is one viz. to elevate man’s thinking in a positive manner wherein human beings belonging to various strata of society benefit equally. Doubtlessly this is a gigantic task. The prime need therefore is that thinking which oozes with goodwill for all world beings without exception. Our research endeavor will succeed only when all this will be done in totality.In its preliminary stage Brahmavarchas Research Institute has taken up 4 chief aims: 1) the power of the mental principle and its mode of application 2) a powerful Yajna method for destroying diseases of the body, mind and intellect 3) availing benefits from the infinite storehouse of consciousness and nature 4) putting forth an all encompassing form of the philosophy of religion and spirituality. When all of these are brought together the map of and substratum of the philosophy of a New Era is created. It is like making a cast and mould. As of now only these means are at our disposal and hence we begin from this end. A point to note that the above four have so many branches and sub branches and each of them is so important that they just cannot be ignored. Man has infinite aspects and each one is influenced variedly. Hence none of these aspects can be ruled out. The meaning of an all encompassing thought revolution is not to allow water to enter ones boat through even one minor hole. Hence our movement against mental taints should leave no room for the ‘enemy’ to find even one chink in our armor. Our fort should be so secure that not an iota of a chance is given to the enemy (like white ants) to destroy our sacred mission.Brahmavarchas’ research method: When the designing of the first leg of research is firmly laid down the subsequent steps will follow suit. One by one all those aspects will be covered which are as of now glanced at very minimally. In these paragraphs it is not possible to elucidate its classification too. In a nutshell we can say that research has commenced and an entire generation of humanity goes by will it end. For this innumerable gifted thinkers will be required but to give their exact number is difficult. This bridge is so gigantic that hoards of people will be required to build it in an atmosphere of camaraderie and cooperation. Because the means are many, the task will be completed with greater speed. And yet we cannot underestimate the contribution of anyone because for example a tiny ant slowly but surely can scale a mountain peak too.These days (this was written before 1990 A.D.) around 2 dozen people who are post graduates and specialists of law, medicine, philosophy, literature and modern science have enlisted themselves as research members. Although the task has commenced if we keep in mind the gigantic nature of the task and the speed required to complete it fruitfully it is clear that the number of our present team members is quite less. A much more widespread and in depth research skill is required so that the first leg is completed in a befitting manner which in turn would enhance our enthusiasm to take up the next leg of research with more fervor.For our present research studies a voluntary thinking set of people are required whose eyes are not rooted on how much they will be paid for their hard work. It is not possible to pay exorbitant fees to gifted thinkers since this is a very gigantic sacred task. Lord Ram, Lord Krishna, Lord Buddha, Mahatma Gandhi etc carried out their gigantic tasks with the aid of so many volunteers and helpers. It would be rare to find even one amongst these volunteers who were ‘bought’ with money. In fact they did not have the means even to ‘buy’ these helpers. The same will happen with the vast number of research members volunteering to execute the mighty task of Thought Revolution in the world. Those who deem themselves fit for our task should understand that it is difficult for them to be paid for their hard work. Hence over here we request and invite those who have no financial constraint to become our members since we repeat again that we cannot pay them as such. These members could be of 2 classes: 1) whose family will look after their requirements while they are conducting research for us 2) who do not have to send cash to their family and can make do with their daily expenses on their own. Of course the Mission will look after their lodging/boarding needs aptly. But beyond that the Mission cannot help them with more financial aid.The above observations are reserved only for those research members who by giving all their time to research will reside full time at our Brahmavarchas Research Institute. Apart from them a great number of such volunteers are required who will come and reside at our institute minimum for 2 months at a stretch every year. An alternative to this will be residing at their homes and working for 2 hours daily (more not less) for our Mission. They can visit nearby libraries and collect literature on the subjects assigned to them by us. If the library etc loans them this literature they can operate from their homes, collect important matter and send it to us on a regular basis. Mahakal (Cosmic Time) has decided to fight dire situations and induce zest in the human psyche for Neo Creation. This flow is seen in the form of cosmic consciousness radiating at a stormy pace. It first influences awakened souls. It is like the first rays of sunrise falling on high mountain peaks. When we heat milk its ‘sticky’ aspect appears as a layer of cream at the top. In these days the energy of transformation too is working on these lines. The varied classes of awakened souls are giving us a glimpse of their special qualities by taking up wholesome tasks and imbuing them with potent life force (Prana). Now comes the turn of gifted thinkers. Wherever they reside, we request them to come forward and take up the priceless task of neo creation of peoples’ sacred sentiments and thinking. There is no dearth of retired people, financially independent people and those without major family commitments in this world. Their gifted thinking capacity is especially invoked by Era Consciousness. In fact even busy people can in their own small way contribute their talent for this great transformation. Brahmavarchas Research Institute invites cooperation from all these people the world over who are not only gifted thinkers but have immense zeal/zest to idealistically create a New Era.
