The editorial
Source: The Times of India · 16 Feb 2021Basant Panchami symbolises new life and fresh beginnings. Today a decline in the quality of our life and the world makes us long for newness. Basant Panchami comes as a reminder that nature is cyclic. Like the cyclic pattern of four seasons – spring, summer, autumn, winter – there is a cyclic pattern of four yugas – Sat Yuga, Treta Yuga, Dwapar Yuga and Kali Yuga.
We are in Kali Yuga or Iron Age, created due to our consciousness of pain and aggression. The new world of Sat Yuga, Golden Age where peace, joy and prosperity reign, will be created when we shift to a consciousness of divinity.
