The era transformation that the Gayatri Pariwar is moving towards with its dedication and readiness is seeded in noble resolve (Satsankalpa). Based on this, all our thoughts, plans, activities, and programs are conducted; this can also be called our manifesto. Each of us should read this every morning like a daily religious ritual, and on auspicious occasions, one person should recite it while others repeat it.
Today, every thoughtful person feels that the vices in human consciousness, which cause unrest and disorder, have increased considerably. In this situation, the need for change seems imperative, but this work cannot be accomplished by mere aspiration; a definite direction must be determined, and active, organized steps must be taken. Without this, our desire will remain a mere fantasy. The Era Transformation Noble Resolve (Yug Nirman Satsankalpa) is a definite step in that direction. In this manifesto, all sentiments are presented systematically in simple language and concise words, in accordance with the ideal tradition of religion and scripture. We must reflect and decide that we have to mold our lives within this framework. Instead of preaching to others, this pledge focuses entirely on self-transformation. The most effective way to tell others to do something is to start doing it ourselves. Our own transformation can be the most important step towards era transformation. The ocean is formed by the confluence of drop by drop of water. Good individuals together will make a good society. The comprehensive form of individual transformation will be reflected as era transformation.
Readers will find the explanation and discussion of the sentiments of this Era Transformation Noble Resolve in the following articles of this book. When we deeply understand these sentiments within our hearts, their collective form will emerge as an era aspiration, and for its fulfillment, many deities, many great humans, will manifest in human form, embodying the form of Narayan. The incarnation needed for the era transformation will first descend in the form of aspiration.
