Neo-Humanism: August 2004 Archives

Shrii Shrii Anandamurtiji

PROUT Editor's note: When studying the socio-economic theory of PROUT, it becomes essential to simultaneously study the sublime philosophy of Neo-Humanism. Shiva is the embodiment of Neo-Humanism.

When I spoke [earlier] regarding Krs'n'a*, I said that His life can be divided into two main parts: the first part is Vrajagopa'la and the second part is Pa'rthasa'rathi. I also said in that context that Pa'rthasa'rathi was not as easily accessible as Vrajagopa'la was. I further said that the Maha'bha'rata** [the campaign led by Krs'n'a to unify India, and not the epic composition about that campaign.] was brought about by Krs'n'a but it certainly did not encompass the whole of Krs'n'a's life. Krs'n'a exists without the Maha'bha'rata, but the Maha'bha'rata does not exist without Krs'n'a.

Abstract. In February 2002, the Hindu fundamentalist party, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and other Hindu fundamentalist religious organizations organized and carried out a genocidal ethnic cleansing of Muslims in the state of Gujarat, in western India. Between 2,000 and 5,000 Muslims were slaughtered, and more than 150,000 were rendered homeless and destitute. To this date, the victims have seen no justice – particularly economic justice – and the perpetrators continue to boast of Gujarat as a laboratory for their plans for the rest of India. Many Hindus as part of their daily puja/prayers now worship the Gujarat Chief Minister, who patronized the genocide, as a god. In the face of the rise of Islamic fundamentalism in the Middle East and Christian fundamentalism in the US, the Gujarat genocide looms large in a scenario of global fundamentalist wars. How are we to face this juggernaut of religious fascism, presently manifest in all major world religions?

In His last discourse on this earth, Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar asked of humanity the following questions: "How can this problem be solved? How can we check these belligerent parties from implementing their outdated ideas, which may cause the physical disintegration of the country? What should be done? What should be our short term and the long-term policy? The approach should be both physical and psychic. Will simply economic theory do or is something more required? Education is a long-term program. What should be done immediately in the physical and psychic realms?"

The spirit of the word Samaja (society) signifies a group of people who move together. All are not of equal strength or intellect. Hence the shortcomings in one must be compensated for by another. Different people have varying abilities: some have physical strength but no brains; others have the brains but not the strength to work; and others have neither the strength not the brains, but work well and with a peaceful mind under the guidance of their supervisors. We can always see around us people of differing types and qualities. Judged by the crude codes of this world, no one is totally independent. Everyone relies on someone else in some way or other. Everyone makes up for their deficiencies by taking help from others. Whenever a large group of people strive to make up for their relative differences on terms of mutual understanding, we call it a society or Samaj.

There must be ever-increasing acceleration in all spheres of existence. Acceleration represents the essence of life. The human structure is physical but the goal of human life is the Supreme Entity. To reach the goal our approach should be through spiritual practices.

Acceleration is also at the root of PROUT. PROUT is a socioeconomic philosophy to help take humanity from imperfection to perfection. To move towards the Supreme Entity is a continuous process for one and all. At the end of this process, you will become one with the Supreme Entity.
