Our purpose is to help everyone awaken their original spiritual identity, which is eternal, full of knowledge and full of bliss. Such a global awakening will, in one stroke, solve all the problems of the world society bringing in a new era of unprecedented peace and prosperity for all. In the present age it is becoming increasingly difficult to become spiritually enlightened. This is because of the deteriorating influence of the present age of Kali, the age of quarrel and hypocrisy. In this age very few people are interested in spiritual life. And of those who are, because of insufficient guidance, even fewer are fortunate enough to be properly situated on the pathway of spiritual perfection.
Nowadays we see that many people want to concoct their own pathway of spiritual perfection. But only a liberated soul can show us the way out of bondage, not a conditioned soul. Therefore if we are serious about becoming delivered from the cycle of birth and death we must be careful to choose the association and guidance of those who are factually liberated from the cycle of birth and death, not the so-called guidance of those who are still in the grip of maya or illusion.

Since the modern day self-centered global social order is gradually disintegrating more and more to the eventual point of complete, total anarchy, if we want to have in the future any kind of civilization remaining on this planet, the time has come to begin laying the groundwork for a new enlightened world civilization. Such a civilization must be based on the common unifying principle for all living beings. It cannot be based on any sort of self-centered and thus divisive conception, either concentrated or extended. Since we do all in fact emanate from one common source, it behooves us now to scientifically understand what is that common origin and to also understand how we can all live in a state of perfect harmony with that common origin. It is on this principle that we must now build the new enlightened world order.

There is nothing at all to be feared in this world. We should never forget his profound words. It is most comforting to know that the self can never be slain.
This knowledge of the imperishable nature of the self is coming originally from the Vedic wisdom, the ancient spiritual wisdom of India. This knowledge was spoken over 5,000 years ago in the Bhagavad-gita, Chapter 2, Text 19:
ya enam vetti hantaram yas cainam manyate hatam ubhau tau na vijanito nayam hanti na hanyate
"Neither he who thinks the living entity the slayer nor he who thinks it slain is in knowledge, for the self slays not nor is slain."
Since the actual self, the soul, is indestructible, why have we built an entire civilization around the temporary material body? This is called ignorance. And because we have ignorantly constructed an entire world civilization, therefore no one is happy here. Everyone is anxiety. The rich are in anxiety. The poor are in anxiety. The middle class is in anxiety. Everyone is bewildered because they are basing their happiness on the satisfaction of the perishable material body.
There needs to be now a system in place all over the world to simply educate everyone to the understanding that we are all eternal spirit-souls, part and parcel servitors of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. This will bring about the desired peace and happiness in this world. We pray that this knowledge will now spread throughout the entire world.

God has given us a great gift in the form of this human body. The only purpose of this human birth, which is very difficult to get, is to realize God and hence terminate this incessant cycle of birth and death.

How about pulling off the greatest coup in the history of the world? Would any of you like to a part of it? I am not speaking of a violent revolution. I am speaking of a cultural revolution in which the entire world becomes attracted to the enlightened lifestyle of pure love for the Supreme Person and all of His children. The world is dying for a such a revolution to take place. The only thing lacking are the qualified leaders to spearhead such a revolution. How about you? Would you like to be living at every minute on the cutting edge of the greatest paradigm shift that has ever manifested in the history of the universe? If you want it, you can have it. There's nothing stopping you.

If someone asks, "What is your religious belief?, you can tell that you do not have any religious belief. You can explain them that you are a knower of the Absolute Truth. If they ask you what is the Absolute Truth, you can explain to them that the Absolute Truth is that from which everything emanates.
If they ask you which god you believe in, you can tell them that there is no question of this god or that god. Just as there is only sun in the sky, similarly God is one. Just as the one sun is called by different names according to different languages, God is referred to by different names in different languages.
You can tell them that God gave us one religion, to surrender fully unto Him in pure love. It is man in his foolish imperfection who has concocted this idea of different religions.
