Change of Era

This Mahashivratri was not an ordinary one, as per Swamiji a Yug Parivartan (Change of Era) is about to take place. I have been writing about this since the beginning of 2020 – that a shift in consciousness is taking place. This has just been confirmed by the Paramatma of the present time. When any such shift takes place there is tremendous turmoil – for those who are on the spiritual path, they have to be especially careful as whatever they do from now onwards will count heavily on their karmic record. Do not do anything to hurt anyone or anything, directly or indirectly, be righteous in all your thoughts, words and deeds and all should be fine.

Our spiritual practise will also take us on ever higher planes – just focus and stay committed. Treat your spiritual practise as a hobby as Swamiji says, in that case you will learn to enjoy your yoga and meditation. When we learn to enjoy whatever we do, it becomes a part of us and then everything starts happening with ease.

Just to put things into perspective, we have more or less got over the covid situation, at least in India – I personally feel after March everything should be more or less back to normal. But we will be faced with war, natural calamities, man-made calamities and so on – we have to remain positive and create a global network of positivity through our meditation and prayers offered during meditation.

Our prayer should be for sanity to prevail and the mindset of a few greedy global leaders to turn positive and more humane towards those countries and their citizens who are not as well off as their own citizens. In the World Religion Conference in Chicago in 1893 Swami Vivekananda in his message of spirituality and brotherhood had created a different image of India to the world when he spoke about the world as one family. He had received a standing ovation at that time for his demeanour and his speech.

When the churn is on, it is imperative for us to remain positive, create a global chain of positivity through our prayers. It is best to reach a no-mind state and be a witness to whatever is happening, my gut-feel is that the next five to six years are going to be totally transformational, we need to ride this one out without falling.

Nature too will be getting back at us with a vengeance – so in a way it will be a double whammy with nature’s retribution and human folly! Well, we can only do stuff which is in our control – meditate, pray, stay calm and balanced and help spread calmness and serenity amidst the turmoil. So dear ones, take especial care and remain focused!
