then it is possible for one person to rule the world. He can make the whole world fearless. One person can transform the world consciousness. Today we only pray for universal peace in our shanti mantras. It is just a superficial effort, but once this power of yoga and renunciation begins to unfold within our psyche, then this ephemeral existence has no capacity to move away from our resolution.
Therefore, yoga is not an ordinary thing; it is a miraculous science. The great man who has enlightened the spark of desire to understand this science within our hearts has really done a great work. This ancient science of yoga was buried in the womb of the earth, Ratnagarbhaa vasundharan, for the last 2000 to 3000 years. This knowledge was in a seed state, a potential state, not revealing itself. Very rarely such a sage is born, after a gap of centuries, who ignites the spark in the sleeping human consciousness. After seeing this, man begins to search again in the enveloping darkness. Where is that spark that we had seen? Where can we find it? How can we make it a flame? Arousing such enquiries in the minds of men is not a simple achievement. To the sage who evoked such a great curiosity in our minds, most respected Paramahamsa Satyananda, unto his holy feet I dedicate this humble offering of my short speech.
