LEAD INDIA SAVE INDIA SAVE THE WORLD
INNER PEACE
Man's mind is too full of the world and desires demand too much of his time and energy. Engrossed in the analysis of the material world, he has lost all sense of sweetness and sublimity and truth has become just another word in the dictionary. Humility, patience and reverence have become irrelevant. The only ray of hope in this enveloping gloom of fear, hatred and persecution, is the Peace that one can win through self-control and Sadhana (spiritual endeavour). That Peace will pervade and purify the inner consciousness as well as the outer atmosphere.

About
Badge
Three eshanaas (ardent desires) are holding man back: he is enamored of wealth, wife and children. These obstruct him at each step and act as handicaps to spiritual advance. Of course, wherewithal is essential for the process of life and laboring for it cannot be avoided. But, beyond a limit, riches foul the mind and breed arrogance. They must be used for good purposes, promoting virtue and well-being, fostering Dharma (virtue) and fulfilling one's duties along the Divine path. If riches are spent for realizing fleeting desires, they can never be enough and the ego discovers newer and more heinous ways of earning and spending. It is indeed deplorable that this eshanaa (craving) for dhana (money) has laid hold of the people of this holy land, where Divine Incarnations have taught the lessons of selflessness and service.
