  accelerate the process of breaking barriers
  between different cultures is to collect
  spiritual names with beautiful meanings from all
  the cultures, societies, and Scriptures in the
  world (from sources with positive forces behind
  them) and create a pool of them.

21
SOCIETY

  free society so that everyone is able to enjoy
  and utilize his abilities in the highest possible
  way.

  educate children in such a way to expand their
  minds and bring them to a point of knowing
  themselves so well that they will be able to

SCIENCE

  of the human life and The Plan of God for all
  to reach Pure Consciousness.

POPULATION

  problem, but it is other aspects of the present
  society

• (2) The lack of an environment which gives an
  equal opportunity for all to develop to the
  highest possible potential
• (3) Mismanagement of space and food available
  to humanity
• (4) The abundance of undereducated nations
  which do not utilize their fertile lands in full
  capacity

  cultures which teaches that this world is
  illusion and therefore the people do not strive
  for material advancement, etc.

The Temple

  of The Great Sign.

  is to have a place of gathering for the
  community, a training center, a place for the
  offering of prasadam (spiritual food), all types
  of spiritual activities, Satsang, service,
  meditation, education, etc

30
SETTING OF THE ALTAR

• The altar should be positioned in the
  houses, community Satsang buildings (community
  building or center), and in any closed area which
  has been set up especially for meditation in such
  a way that preferably people will be facing north
  when sitting for meditation.

31
THE BASE OF HISTORY AND DATING

• With this universal outlook of the base of
  history and the names of the months, the new
  dating system can be provided.

THE DAYS AND THE NIGHTS

  is when the sun sets, and finish the night with
  the sunrise.
• Similarly, day naturally starts at sunrise
  and ends at sunset.
