New Renaissance

Power and possession have been main pursuits of modern civilisation for a long time. They blcked out or distorted other features of the western renaissance which promised so much for humanity. What people have been and are still being taught to prize are money, success, control over the lives of others, acquisition of more and more properties. Modern, Social, Political, and Economic systems, whether Capitalist, Fascist or Communist, reject in their working the basic principle that free and creative unfoldment of everyman, woman and child is the true measure of the worth of any society. Such unfoldment requires understanding & Imagination, Integrity and Compassion, Cooperation among people and Harmony between the Human species and the Rest of Nature. Acquisitiveness and the pursuit of power have made the modern man an aggressor against everything that is non-human, an exploiter and appressor of those who are poor, weak and unorganised, a pathological type of hates and distrusts the world and suffers from both acute loneliness and false pride.

The need for a New Renaissance is deeply felt by those Sensitive & Conscientious persons who not only perceive the dimensions of the crisis of our era but who also realise that only through conscious and cooperative human effort may this crisis be met & Comes to an end.
