Keeping
in view the foregoing considerations, the founder of the present YUG NIRMAN
MISSION (A mission for the resurrection of perennially true ideals for the
present era) took the lead in formulating the strategy for the proposed VICHAR
KRANTI ABHIYAN ( an uplifting Ideological Revolution). Donating each and every
cent of his personal and inherited property for social Welfare and keeping a
minimum for personal sustenance, he presented himself as a role model of an
ideal social worker. In this way, he exemplified, that those desirous of making
contributions of their time, labour, skill or intellectual talents to the
present Ideological Revolution (Which is the topmost priority of mankind today)
can do so only by first himself being free from greed, attachments and egoism.
Only then is one left with sufficient time, resources and motivation for the
noble cause.
For the
founder of this mission, this has been the guiding principle throughout his
life from the adolescent age of 15 years to the advanced age of 80 years.
Presenting his own self as a role model, he encouraged everyone coming in his
contact to attempt for greater and greater excellence in life and follow the
path of high idealism. In this way he has
been a true teacher in letter and spirit. The literature created by him,
including the monthly periodicals “Akhand Jyoti” and “Yug Nirman
Yojna” in Hindi and seven other magazines published in other Indian
languages, have not only given nourishing food for thought to millions of their
readers but has also moved them so deeply that they could not ignore the
suffering of humankind and came forward to make some contribution for its
alleviation. At present the readership of these periodicals has increased
beyond 1.2 million. Besides, each issue is being read by at least five other
persons besides the subscriber. In this way, ideologically, the mission is in
close contact with innumerable people. This is the manpower involved in the
implementation of the gigantic schemes incorporated in this Ideological Revolution.
The number of persons joining the movement is progressively increasing in
geometric progression. Thus, this endeavor has the potential of touching over
one hundred million persons a large number of whom could become active
participants in this campaign for total human transformation. One needn't be
either surprised or sceptical about this global revolution. (The growth of
Information Technology is hastening the process). In the history of humankind,
there have been several instances of such Ideological Revolutions transforming
the very texture of cultures. It need not be surprising if the ever-increasing numbers
of persons actively involved in this ideological campaign could create an
environment heralding the dawn of a new era in the twenty-first century.
