Currently, we are in the midst of a peak global crisis. There is economic depression and global warming; increasing natural disasters and mass destruction; depleting natural resources and increasing hatred; senseless acts of violence and crime. There is immense sorrow, anger, jealousy and intense negativity. Repeatedly, mankind is trying to be awakened. Whilst most are pressing snooze, some are starting to see the message, and a few have been forced to sacrifice for the greater whole.
Often, it takes the darkest hour to break down our soul and to recreate it in alignment with the universe. It takes the darkest hour to surrender oneself to God’s will, and to teach true forgiveness. It takes the darkest hour to be thankful for what we have, and to know the God we worship. It takes the darkest hour for the mind to let of ego, and to say I love you and I am sorry. It takes the darkest hour to teach humility, compassion, generosity, and kindness. It takes the darkest hour to build character, integrity and strength. It takes the darkest hour to test true faith in God, and to awaken the consciousness – the breaking of a new dawn. It is the darkest hour that puts our souls through a process of alchemy, from coal to diamond. But all the time, even in the darkest hour, God has a purpose.
That time is now. The darkest hour is already here. We are the coals that have been placed under pressure and heat to transform our souls into shinning diamonds that reflect light, clarity, beauty and love. Our souls must awaken to the calling that the world is so desperately in need of – love, unity, and oneness amongst mankind.
Many individuals and seers have speculated that, based on the Mayan Calendar and other historical prophecies, the year 2012 will be the end of the world. It is more of a symbolic allegory of the human consciousness. The world will not come to a physical end. It is hoped that the collective human mind will end its perpetual cycle of destruction and harm. It is a hope for the end of the polluted human mind as we currently know it. We have come to a peak of negativity. The human collective consciousness is on the brink of a drastic, immense, powerful transformation from pain suffering and negativity to universal love and oneness. It is always just after the darkest hour that the light of dawn brings hope for peace, love, kindness and unity into the new age.
2012 is the call for The Age of Enlightenment – a call to end the crisis that our minds have created on a global scale. Souls are being awakened out of slumber across the planet to realize their true purpose.
The Nirankari International Samagam 2012 (NIS), held in Birmingham, UK was exactly that. It was a call to all souls to awaken and help awaken others to the message of oneness so that we may rise out of this dark age into a new world. The spiritual master and teacher of the Nirankari Mission, HH Nirankari Baba, who presided over, showed us a window into the future.
More than 5,000 delegates representing over 33 countries came together to promote peace, love and oneness. They came to inspire and learn from each other. These souls – the seeds – were all planted and so carefully nurtured so that they go on to blossom in their respective countries.

It is critical that we live each breath and each moment in the present. We must spread love, connecting with each other, as the time for change has been upon us for a while now. The ripple effect will be felt across the globe and through time, if we can only instill the teachings in each and every present moment.
Stop! Take a deep breath, and focus on this energy of oneness in your everyday actions. HH Nirankari Baba leads by example and is showing us how we should live together in peace and harmony. He is teaching the meaning of peace, forgiveness, compassion, kindness, sacrifice, and love. All this is in the hope that these virtues spread like a wild fire in the forest, all over the globe. Thus, the breaking of a new dawn comes as light and warmth shine from the burning of barriers. Out of the darkest hour, a new age of enlightenment can and will arise.
