VOLUME X

In the higher worlds there was an immense amount of activity as Time moved on towards a major change. The Gods and the Rishis decided that it was time to invoke Satyadeva, the Lord of Truth, to influence the world. For such an event it was important that the Rishis go to the mortal world and join their spiritual force and ardent prayers to those of the anguished humanity and beleaguered earth, suffering under the constant onslaughts of the fierce dark forces. At that time, colonisation apparently to “civilise the world” was widely-spread with all its ills. Greed and cruelty had become rampant. To satisfy the ego of a few races, vast stretches of the world had been enslaved and they had to suffer. For this reason, some great Rishis came to the mortal world. One of them was Ramakrishna Parmahansa. He worshipped the Divine Mother and lit the psychic flame of intense reverence for the Eternal Truth. When he attained realisation, he announced to the world the unity of all religions. Although there existed many paths, several creeds and ways of looking at life the goal remained the same. There was no separate hell or heaven for different religions. One went to heaven or hell depending upon one’s actions. This message was conveyed very powerfully to the West by Rishi Vivekananda at the Parliament of the World's Religions in 1893 in Chicago, USA. The world was startled to hear about this radical thought and their way of looking at this issue underwent a sea-change. Then, Sri Aurobindo added his spiritual force to the concentrated efforts made by Ramakrishna to light the psychic flame of aspiration, to prepare the way for the Supramental Age to descend. He wanted to make humanity aware of the divine forces working within each one of us. He realised that India must achieve its independence to lead the world into the Golden age with its Sanatana Dharma. Later on, he realised that the time was still not ripe for this gigantic step, as the dark forces had used their powers to mislead the world into unbearable pain and suffering through two world wars and the constant strife. After leaving this world, Sri Aurobindo through his vast psychic powers, facilitated the descent of the Devayana, which describes the earth-shaking events of the Four Ages that would lead us to the splendour of the long-awaited Golden Age.

 As the Rigveda mentions

Rig Veda VII.76.2

The result of this birth of divine vision is that man’s path manifests itself to him and those journeying’s of the Gods or to the Gods “Devayana” which lead to the infinite wideness of the Divine Existence. Before me the paths of the journeying’s of the Gods have become visible, journeying’s that violate not, whose movement was formed by the Vasus. The eye of the Dawn has come into being in front and she has come towards us over our houses”. Sri Aurobindo, On the Vedas, p.209 Amita Nathwani
