How can we revive the glory of this great nation, India? Bhagawan, our Loving Lord, invites each one of us to take a pledge today.

Our sages gave no weight to money, fame, pleasures, power, physical or intellectual prowess, but only to dharma. Why? To them, dharma alone is the life-force of the world. Four purusharthas (goals of human life) are prescribed by the scriptures—Dharma, Artha (wealth), Kama (desire) and Moksha (liberation). The first is Dharma. Artha and Kama come after Dharma. Meaning, unless Artha and Kama are experienced in accordance with Dharma, they cause grief. Earn wealth with Dharma. Entertain only Dharmic desires. Only thus can we attain Moksha—This is the lesson of the four purusharthas. Unfortunately, Indians have renounced the foundation of Dharma, which is like the feet supporting the structure of human life. They have chopped off the head of Moksha. They live with the headless and footless body of Artha and Kama! Thus, India has lost Her splendour of righteousness. We must take a pledge to restore Dharma, to foster education promoting Dharma, and to revive the glory of India.
