“Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers…because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.”
– Steve Jobs

With 53 temples for every 100,000 people, India is often revered as the spiritual capital of the world, renowned as a source of rich and diverse spiritual teachings and traditions that have spread across Mother Earth’s many continents, including Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and Sikhism.

From Swami Vivekananda to Srila Prabhupada, Ram Krishna Param Hansa and Maharishi Maheshi Yogi to Osho, Paramahansa Yogananda, Deepak Chopra and countless others, India has seeded the incarnation of profoundly compassionate and driven guardians of the spiritual realms who have redefined the Western perception of self, health, purpose and sacred communion; all aspects of self-expression that amount to Bhakti, our overflowing love for our Divine Mother creator.

A land whose spirituality and mysticism has inspired countless social innovators, artists and activists, India has rooted, in her spiritual practices, rituals that instill, from a young age, a connection to one’s soul divinity. India’s ancient Vedic yogic teachings are now being globally embodied, exponentially rapidly, as a cure for many of humanity’s social ailments and diseases, by those consciously guiding Humanity through our Ascension – our transformational alignment with the cosmic flow that restores our original state of existence.

Hence, the mantras, devotional hymns in ancient Sanskrit that contain the vibration of profound wisdom, were taught to children as Vedic initiates, prior to the detailed explanation of their meaning, so that the students could properly sense the radiance of the Absolute Truth, released from within their own inner sun, our cosmic light of awareness, to clear the path for the initiate to truly perceive through their senses their teacher’s divine light transmission. Without a full sense of Truth, all we receive is a shade of our full spectrum reflection.

Chapter IV, Verse 20, of the ancient Hindu scripture, Bhagavad Gita, “The Song of God”, translates: “Relinquishing attachment to the fruits of work, always contented, independent of material rewards, the wise do not perform any binding action even in the midst of activities”.

It is believed that when billionaire inventor Steve Jobs stated: “I was worth over $1,000,000 when I was 23, and over $10,000,000 when I was 24, and over $100,000,000 when I was 25, and it wasn’t that important because I never did it for the money,” he was directly inspired by this verse of Lord Krishna’s teachings.

By living consciously attuned to our spiritual heart’s ever ascending eternal mission that evolves our very biological perception of life’s creation, we can discern from behaviors and actions that have bound our ancestors in purgatory.

Through alignment with the cosmic source that births our soul, the inner fire of the blessed Kundalini Shakti burns the DNA-embedded karmic soul chains from generations of demonic contracts, allowing us to transcend beyond the subconscious programs and behaviors that drain us of our cosmic chakra energy, and rob us of the true sight necessary to receive the guiding light that permeates through all life.

Aware of his looming death, Jobs meticulously planned his own funeral. At his 2011 memorial service, hundreds of influential leaders in business, politics and popular culture received a spiritual introduction to the Kriya Yoga teachings held within Hindu, yogi, saint Paramahansa Yogananda’s “Autobiography of a Yogi,” the only book remaining on Job’s iPad the last few months of his life. 

In a TechCrunch Disrupt interview, billionaire CEO of Salesforce.com, Marc Benioff remarked upon his emotions whereby receiving the mysterious, small brown box at his mentor’s memorial: “This is going to be good… I knew that this was a decision he made, and whatever it was, it was the last thing he wanted us ALL to THINK about.”

Job’s living vision was to inspire his brethren into liberation, to ignite a mission as was revealed within his heart through the Vedic resonance of Mother India.

In his first TV interview with Fox Movietone News reporter, when asked: “If England does not grant your demands are you prepared to return to jail again?” With a welcoming smile, Mahatma Gandhi replied: “I am always prepared to return to jail.” When this question was furthered with: “Would you be prepared to die in the cause of India’s Independence?” Smiling and laughing, Mahatma sensically corrected his interrogator, with: “This is a bad question.”

At the time of Mahatma’s birth, the Spiritual Kingdom of Mother India was preparing to heal from the traumatizing experience of her British colonization: poverty, malnutrition, disease, cultural upheaval, economic exploitation, political disadvantage, and systematic programs – all aimed at creating a sense of social unworthiness and racial inferiority amongst her people.

Under its colonization of India’s profoundly mystical race, the British introduced the Macauly system of education in India to groom Indians with western knowledge and override her rich history with western ideals.

The Macaulay’s system mandated the immediate stopping of the printing by the East India Company of all Arabic and Sanskrit books, and discontinued all support of traditional cultural education beyond the Sanskrit College at Benares and the Mahometan College at Delhi, which were deemed inadequate to maintain traditional, civilized learning.

On October 2, 1869, with the birth of Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, the youngest of three, from his father’s fourth wife, the first of whom capable of baring his seeds, Mother India’s celestial plea for redemption was answered.

Incarnated into an elite family, young Mahatma was initially molded into his father’s image, a lawyer and an important government official. Arranged into marriage, at age 13, Mahatma was encouraged to earn his law degree at the Inner Temple of London. 

After a two-year attempt at his own legal practice in India, a disheartened Mahatma returned home to be called to South Africa, where he personally experienced the humiliating discrimination policies against the dark-skinned Indians who had been imported as laborers. Mahatma soon became an outspoken critic against the ruling Boers, who, of European descent, saw themselves as racially superior, as God had established a hierarchy of being, in which white Christians were superior to people of indigenous races.

In 1907, when Boer legislature mandated all Indians register with the police and be fingerprinted, Mahatma, along with many other Indians, refused to obey this law. He was imprisoned, for the first of many times, for disobeying what he believed to be unjust laws. Inspired, while imprisoned, by Henry David Thoreau’s essay on “Civil Disobedience,” Mahatma adopted this term to describe his strategy of non-violently refusing to cooperate with injustice, though he preferred the Sanskrit word Satyagraha, meaning devotion to Absolute Truth. 

Following his release from jail, he continued to protest the registration law by supporting labor strikes and organizing a massive non-violent march. Finally, the Boer government agreed to a compromise that ended the most objectionable parts of the registration law. Mahatma’s twenty years fighting for human rights in South Africa prepared him for his life’s work in India. As he left South Africa in 1914, the leader of the Boer government remarked, “the saint has left our shores, I sincerely hope forever.”

Mahatma returned to India, a hero in his native land, having abandoned his western clothing for the simple homespun dress of the poor. His homecoming was a proclamation to India to assert their independence from British domination. He preached sovereignty to the Indian masses, encouraging them reclaim their sense of self, Bhakti, by spinning and weaving in lieu of buying British cloth, not only to reclaim the country’s economy but to also invoke the art of living. 

In 1930, in his most spectacular act of civil disobedience, Mahatma led thousands of Indians upon a 240-mile protest to the Arabian sea where he picked a pinch of salt. His righteous invocation of humanity’s divine right to our elemental resources sparked a mass movement among the people all over the country to source their own salt, a direct defiance of British authority which forced the Indian economy upon the government monopoly.

To resurrect Mother India, Mahatma compelled equality amongst her divided people, directly calling out the evils that undermined peace. The second evil was Hindu-Muslim disunity caused by years of religious hatred. The last evil was the Hindu tradition of classifying millions of Indians as a caste of “untouchables,” India’s lowest social class, who faced severe discrimination and could only practice the lowest occupations.  

Though a frail man, his iron will and immaculate vision raised awareness of all hypocrisy, malpractices, and dogma in all religions to provide a blueprint of inspiration for future social movements around the world. Nonetheless, his alignment to truth manifested the demons amongst the very people he yearned to lead into their salvation, against their own acts of self-defilement.  

Mahatma’s last months were shadowed by communal strife between Hindus and Muslims. As he walked barefoot through the scorched villages in East Bengal, locals threw shattered glass upon his path. Gandhi pleaded for amicable settlement between India and Pakistan, but on January 30, 1948, he was assassinated in Delhi on his way to an evening prayer. A young Hindu Brahmin, named Nathuram Godse, who viewed Gandhi’s acceptance of partition as a betrayal of the Hindu population, fired three shots, point-blank into Mahatma’s chest, the bullet holes resembling a garland of love for his great works upon his beloved Mother Earth.

Mahatma’s dying words were reported to be “Ram, Ram” meaning “God, God.” Sixty-three years later, the last words of Steve Jobs echoed his lifetime spiritual guide: “Oh wow, oh wow.”
