Ok Gautami! you have put things nicely! What is our base is clear for us; who are still there to uphold the things with all modernity and getting an integral aproach!... But ... Yes, but ... those who are not aware about as well as dont want to get through those marvelous reality are now in great illusions and for them something should be done!

Where are such writings now? we have to do that! New age is on and needs new kind of aproach which could be assemble the essence of past and present both!
