Vedic civilization was lost, and now, thanks to Maharishi, it is re-emerging. "We are all descendants of the one great community and way of life, which is the Vedic culture. This Vedic culture, as evidence shows, was once a global civilization, and is still an influence in our lives today in every part of the world. " It is that culture of which we now see only remnants in the various fragmented religions and traditions today." [91]
More than anyone else in our time, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi and his teacher Swami Brahmananda Saraswati have revived and sustained the original Vedic knowledge and techniques. The trends of time have changed. Rays of light are beginning to penetrate the darkness. The stifling concrete of hopelessness is being cracked open, and young green plants are emerging from it. The confining egg-shell of the past is being pecked through by an eager, determined baby bird who wants to live and fly. The future of the world is bright. This scientifically based revival of genuine Vedic meditation is restoring Vedic civilization on a global basis and creating a new era for humanity which, according to Maharishi, could last 10,000 years. Suffering will diminish into a relic. As Maharishi stated, "Through the window of science we see the Dawn of the Age of Enlightenment." [92]
