INDIA'S VEDIC CULTURE:

The Key to Global Recovery

(ABSTRACT for Paper to Be Presented at WAVES 2002 Conferance being

Held at the U of Mass, Dartmouth, Mass)

Currently, the World is being overwhelmed by

catastrophe on every front, whether it be the

environment, education, economics, politics, social,

cultural, health, etc. Modern civilization is rapidly

deteriorating.

Many accept this collapse as the inevitable course of

events. Believing western civilization to be

humanitys greatest achievement, there is no incentive

to change. Uneducated and ignorant about the many

alternative solutions available, humanity is

dysfunctional and rapidly headed toward chaos and

collapse.

The irony is that all the solutions to all of our

collective problems have been with us all along. In

times past, humanity has repeatedly been confronted

with many cataclysmic events. Whether they are

environmental, economic or political, humanity has

been confronted with and has successfully dealt with

all of these issues in the past. Fortunately for us,

the wisdom of the ancients has been preserved and

maintained within the ancient traditions of the

worlds indigenous root cultures. Unfortunately

modern science, rather than harnessing this vital

information, has attempted to deconstruct its validity

and applicable usefulness. Labeled as superstition or

mythology, the superior sciences of the ancients have

been ignored to the detriment of the whole world.

As we are confronted with disaster after disaster, it

is becoming obvious that it is modern science and its

applications that are destroying the earth and its

natural balance. Posing as the cure, western

civilization is actually the disease.

Fortunately some efforts have been made to restore

the earths balance. Out of necessity modern science

has been forced to turn to the traditional ancient

methodologies. Frightened by the sudden and dramatic

climate changes, mainstream science is now actively

pursuing the traditional know-how of the worlds

indigenous world cultures.

(EXAMPLES WILL BE LISTED)

So what does India have to contribute to the world?

The keys to the very survival of the planet as a

whole. All problems and their solutions can be found

within Indias Vedic civilization, the worlds most

vast, ancient and ongoing culture. It behooves

humanity to begin applying the tested and true methods

of the ancients. All the evidence shows us that this

is not just an ideal but it is the only viable

solution. So rather than being sidelined as another

religion, Vedic culture needs to be seriously

investigated and the research of the ancients needs to

be harnessed and applied to our current dilemmas. Thus

Indias Vedic Culture can be the key to a complete

global recovery and is the necessary ingredient

towards achieving a truly balanced human civilization.
