CULTURE AND ITS POSSIBLE FREE FALL ... 1
We are witnessing today a steep cultural decline to which we are more or less all contributing. This is not only a degenerate trend but a dangerous trend, too, for it portends an impending precipitous fall of our whole superstructure of civilisation. I, therefore, exhort all to join in the counter-movement to preserve culture and raise the bar of social intercourse so that we may avert a free fall of culture and save civilisation from its consequent catastrophe.

The advent of these two seminal beings on the firmament of human aspirations is a signal point for civilisation to take cognisance of and career its course unto a new direction, unto a higher end, a deeper destiny that cannot be eventually denied but, if unheeded, will lead to terrible destruction and bring in unending human misery in its wake.
We need to awake to this call of the Divine from this divine duo who in integrated essence form the junction point of the Orient and the Occident, the synthesis of the East and the West in cultural terms. Let us hearken to their call and reorient our lives towards the attainment of the highest end of terrestrial existence, the realisation of the Self.
