My Vision of the Future of the World
by Ram Chandra of Shahjahanpur, India
 

          I present before the readers a glimpse of the world that is to be, as I see it in my vision.  Believe it or not, but that is my reading of Nature in the clairvoyant state.  Signs are evident that the destruction of the undesirable elements in the world has already commenced.  Such examples have occurred many times before, during the period of the existence of this world.  Rama's war against Ravan, Noah's flood, and the battle of Mahabharat are some of the many instances.  Such a destruction is accomplished through various means.  It may be through war or internal feud, through heavenly calamity such as volcanic upheaval or through similar other causes.  The time is now ripe for its final phase and the world is rushing towards it with headlong speed.  The action may come into full swing by the close of the present Twentieth Century but some of the events enumerated below may take a longer time to come into effect.

        In consequence of the present upheaval, drastic changes will come into effect and the new structure of the world will be quite different from the one we see today.  The fate of Great Britain will be sad.  A part of it, i.e., its southern portion will sink into the sea.  A volcanic energy in the latent state is at work in the heart of London and in course of time it will burst forth in the form of a volcanic eruption.  The Gulf Stream will change its course and the country will become extremely cold.  The fate of Europe too will be similar.  Smaller countries will lose their existence.  The future of Russia is in darkness.  She cannot survive.  The very weapon of Russia will serve as a pistol on her own head.  Communism shall have its grave in its own homeland.  As for America she is in immanent danger of losing her wealth and in course of time she may almost be reduced to paupery.  Her power and greatness too will sink along with it.  India will regain her pristine glory and she will rise to prominence under her own government.  Her suzerainty will extend far and wide and the world will look up to her for a beacon-light.  But she will have her share in the world upheaval.  The germs of rebellion are developing in the country, i.e. eastern portion of Bengal will sink into the sea.  The volcanic energy is also active and may seriously affect some parts of it especially the State of Bihar.  The Deccan plateau may, in the remote future, turn into an island.  There will be enormous bloodshed all over the world and the loss of life through various causes will be so great that the world population will be considerably reduced.  The new structure of the coming world will stand on bones and ashes.  A type of civilization based on spiritualism will spring forth in India and it will, in due course, become the world civilization.  No country or nation will survive without spirituality as its base, and every nation must sooner or later adopt the same course if it wants to maintain her very existence.

        At present the state of affairs in India does not hold out any bright prospect.  Dissensions and party feelings are prevalent everywhere in the country.  Self-interest is predominant.  Moral principles are neglected.  Problem of bread and butter is acute.  But in spite of all these, some of us think that the country is progressing.  The sign of progress they take to be the gradual drifting of the country towards the western type of civilization which is based on pure materialism.  But now the age of materialism must come to an end.  The old order must change yielding place to new.  The present structure of world civilization based upon electricity and atomic energy shall not remain in existence for long.  It is destined to fall soon.  The whole atmosphere is so much changed with the poisonous effect of absolute materialism that it is almost beyond human control to clear it.  Time has almost matured for a change which is imminent and inevitable.
