KEYS TO THE AWAKENING OF BHARATA
This freedom or Moksha is not a material quantity as in the West today, which is bound by outer circumstances, but an inner state beyond external desires, the internal fulfillment in conscious awareness. Bharata was a region of both perpetual spiritual and cultural renaissance that served to sustain each other in unfolding the soul. However, this great ancient land of Bharata declined through centuries of foreign rule that began about a thousand years ago, as well as through various factors of internal decay that occurred through societal divisions of caste and clan. Yet even during this Dark Age of the country Bharata never disappeared or lost its vitality, and maintained its ability to produce great spiritual teachers and yogis. Inwardly Bharata survived, though outwardly it at times appeared to all but pass away.

In the nineteenth century a new awakening occurred in India leading to independence from foreign rule. The aspiration of ancient Bharata began to stir anew and seemed poised to once more flower and flourish. Today it is more than fifty years since India regained its independence and threw off the yoke of foreign domination that had dominated the country for so many centuries. This was a remarkable and unparalleled reemergence of a world civilization and one that many people in the world, particularly the spiritually minded, looked to with great hope that it might create a higher model of culture for the rest of humanity to follow in this otherwise dark materialistic age.

India's independence was heralded by a great freedom movement and a Hindu renaissance of extraordinary proportions brought about by monumental saints and sages including Ramakrishna, Vivekananda, Aurobindo, Ramana Maharshi, Rama Tirtha, Swami Shiva Nanda, and dozens of others who together established perhaps the clearest and most complete spiritual teachings the world has ever known. Would India, or Bharata, land not only of spiritual but of cultural and material glory of past ages, rise again and lead the world once more?
