SYs must utilize internet to harness vast potential of emerging technologies

October 11, 2003

Dear devotees of the Adi Shakti,

i just came across a recent article regarding new technologies that

are just beginning to scratch the surface, where the internet will

continue to play a pivotal role in the spread of Sahaja Yoga. Shri

Mataji's message of the Last Judgment and Al-Qiyamah must reach all

corners of the world and all humankind become aware of this Great

News. It is now only a matter of time, no matter what the present

position. Prior to that SYs must utilize internet to harness the

vast potential of emerging technologies.

Asia plays with hi-tech visions

Technology is often seen in the West as a way of making our lives

more efficient or as a way of having fun.

But researchers have found big cultural differences between East and

West when it comes to what people actually do with their computers

and mobiles phones.

In many Asian countries, technology has become a tool for learning,

religion and politics, says Intel ethnographer Genevieve Bell....

More importantly, mobile technology has been adapted to reflect the

cultural priorities of each nation, such as their religious faith.

In Malaysia you can now get mobiles that come with a built-in

directional finder to help Muslims pray in the direction of Mecca.

" This is a wonderful way of imagining technology doing something

unexpected, " says Dr Bell, " so rather than being a tool for work it

becomes a tool for someone's religious devotion. "

" Suddenly this device that I use to keep in touch with my family and

friends became a way of keeping in touch with your inner spiritual

life and your God. "
