Q. I have before me a letter written by Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru in 1953 to the Calendar Reform Committee. He wrote, ‘Now that we have attained independence, it is obviously desirable that there should be a certain uniformity in the calendar for our civic, social and other purposes and this should be based on… Continue reading A Calendar that Unifies – Questions and answers on reforming the Hindu Calendar

The Question of Alignment and the iconic 2012
Written for students of the New Cosmology by Thea (Patrizia Norelli-Bachelet) Director, Aeon Centre of Cosmology January 24, 2009. Something more must be said of the Earth’s axial tilt at 23.20 degrees since it plays a role in the fantasies, if they may be so called, of many new-age groups. If I am not mistaken,… Continue reading The Question of Alignment and the iconic 2012
More on Makar Sankranti & the Winter Solstice
An excerpt taken from Movement of Restoration of Vedic Wisdom: ‘From antiquity the Vedic/Hindu civilization has been founded upon certain eternal truths, forming the basis of the ancient dharma. It is a mythic civilization, rooted in the cosmic harmonies which permeate every facet of its culture, not merely as a passive reflection of a static… Continue reading More on Makar Sankranti & the Winter Solstice
Makar Sankranti and the Winter Solstice
[I was recently asked in a study group] to write something about the approaching Winter Solstice celebrated in India as its most important cosmological ritual, the Makar Sankranti. As most of you will know by now, the Solstices and Equinoxes are the balancing points of our journey, both individual and collective, around the Gnostic Circle.… Continue reading Makar Sankranti and the Winter Solstice
A New Experience of Time & A New World Order
“INDIA”, said the Mother “is a divinely chosen country with a unique spiritual heritage. She is not the earth, rivers and mountains, nor simply the collective name for the inhabitants of this land.

The Nehrus: A Phenomenon of India’s New Cosmology
‘There is perhaps a truth in the Vedic idea that the Spirit of creation framed all the movements of the world by chandas, in certain fixed rhythms of the formative Word, and it is because they are faithful to the cosmic metres that the basic world-movements unchangingly endure. A balance harmony maintained by a system… Continue reading The Nehrus: A Phenomenon of India’s New Cosmology
The Nehrus & India’s New Cosmology – Part II
An unbiased observer of Indira Gandhi’s life, her achievements, aspirations and emphasis, can easily appreciate that she held these concepts of the new age closest to her heart. The theme that consistently permeates the entire fabric of her public and personal life is unity – and above all, the unity and integrity of India. She… Continue reading The Nehrus & India’s New Cosmology – Part II
The Nehrus & India’s New Cosmology – Part III
In her death Indira Gandhi continued to serve this cause and to fulfil her role in this cosmic vision. Briefly, it can be explained in this manner: 1984 was a year corresponding to the fourth power/orbit/planet of this decade, a decade which is to see India well on her way to achieving her role in… Continue reading The Nehrus & India’s New Cosmology – Part III
The Nehrus & India’s New Cosmology – Part IV
Another difficulty to be surmounted is the human being’s tendency to label events negative or positive, according to limited frameworks. In this regard, we may take Indira Gandhi’s assassination as an example. In a more integral vision of events transpiring in time, a vision this new cosmology offers, death is simply the result of what… Continue reading The Nehrus & India’s New Cosmology – Part IV
