Lakulish International Fellowship’s Enlightenment (LIFE) Mission

Divine Command of Lord Lakulish to Swami Rajarshi Muni in February 1993:

“Rajarshi! I want to give a special command to you. You know well that I had commanded my
disciple and your Guru-Swami that the principles of yoga, gyan (knowledge),
bhakti (devotion) and karma should be propagated and spread throughout the
world by my spiritual successors and by these means the work of resurgence of
Indian culture must be carried out. Swami did undertake it but the work of resurgence
still remains largely undone. Now you have become the successor in my spiritual
lineage. Therefore, you must now undertake this work. This is my command.

Indian culture can even today receive respect and welcome everywhere and can guide the
whole world because it is based on those fundamental principles which can be
found acceptable by all mankind. This way Indian culture has the capacity to
become the culture of mankind. Therefore an enlightenment campaign has to be
undertaken to cultivate popular awareness of the world in favour of the
fundamental principles of Indian culture.

Understand my command well. You have to launch an enlightenment campaign through the
instrumentality of my spiritual tradition for the re-establishment of the highest values of human culture. The field of this campaign is not to be kept limited to Gujarat or India alone but is to embrace the whole world. In modern times the work of cultural resurgence is necessary for all of mankind. All works must start at the
appropriate time. The time has now ripened for starting the campaign for
enlightenment of humanity. This work awaits your active participation.
Therefore, shake off your inactivity and be active to conduct this campaign.

This campaign is to take on hand the task of gradually creating an atmosphere of
peace, ethical existence, righteousness and spiritualism in the world. Mankind
can progress only if human conduct finds basis in ethical, moral, and spiritual
values, which are the three pillars of culture. Ethical behaviour is the
foundation of culture; righteousness is its mansion and spirituality is its
roof-top.

A man becomes truly cultured when, along with his physical and mental
development, his spiritual development also takes place. Culture without
spiritualism remains incomplete. God created man with the objective that he may
ascend, not that he may fall.

Acquisitiveness is increasing among the people of the world and this is causing the spread of
all manner of wrongs and evils. Therefore man must learn to curtail his needs
and live a simple life. Indian culture commends a life of simplicity; with the
increase in wants and needs resulting in acquisitiveness, selfishly motivated
competition has increased in the world. Because of this people tend to put away
principled living. This rot does not take long to spread and corruption comes
to be regarded as the normal coin of the day.

Because of scientific researches the world will continue to see explosions of energy.
If this energy is not controlled by mankind through morality and restraint, it
will assume evil forms. It will lead mankind on the path of moral downfall and
total destruction. To prevent such harmful consequences, science will have to
be kept in check with the rein of Dharma (the guiding principle of life) which
does not mean sectarianism. Dharma is the sum total of morality, truthfulness,
restraint and right conduct. That which Indian scriptures refer to as Dharma is
an indestructible tattva (principle), that is why it is referred to as sanatan
(everlasting). This Dharma is the foundation of the world and the source of all
good qualities. Such a Dharma is auspicious for humans not only in this world
but also in the world beyond. This Dharma is very subtle and profound. Without
its universal acceptance the world community cannot live in peace.”

The command includes the establishment of an International University of Yoga, an international organization for spreading spiritual enlightenment throughout the world and an international spiritual
order having a special wing of dedicated disciples who may render selfless
service for humanity irrespective of race, religion, sex or nationality.
