The Age of Ananda On the Day of the Winter Solstice 2010, select viewers from around the world mysteriously started receiving transmissions of the Voice of Ananda Channel from the legendary city of SiddhaPuri in the remote, unmapped Himalayas. These TV broadcasts revealed that ananda - the innate, abiding bliss of pure being - is the source and goal of human evolution. They explained the nature of the individual Self and its relationship to the Universal Consciousness, and declared that the human race has to now evolve consciously toward a gloriously joyous future, or else face civilizational collapse. And after just one week of astonishing teachings, the channel went off the air, with the promise that it would return later when needed again. In their broadcasts, the Rishi of Ananda, his star students Gargi and Yajnavalkya, the Maharaja of SiddhaPuri, and Sofia, a French ubermodel turned Tantric adept, unfolded the deepest secrets of mind and matter, Self and God, and Goddess and Cosmos. The universe was revealed as a seven-tiered, double- helix theater for both spiritual and physical evolution. The SiddhaPurians invited all viewers, and especially the youth of the world, to seize this epoch-shifting moment - this radical turning point in human history starting on 21st December 2012 - to live joyously and evolve consciously so as to make the Age of Ananda a reality on earth within their lifetime. About the Author: Kumar S. Sharma is a follower of Sri Aurobindo's teachings on the conscious evolution of the human race towards the Life Divine. He studied physics, mathematics, and management in Mumbai, India, along with an avid interest in cosmology and Vedanta. After graduating with a Ph.D. from MIT, he was an R&D professional and software entrepreneur for twenty-five years. All along, his life-long pursuit of the secrets of the Vedas continued in parallel, and this led him in due course to the Integral Yoga and other evolutionary works of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother of Pondicherry. After a transformative experience during the Maha Kumbha Mela in Prayag, India, in January 2001, Kumar gradually withdrew from external interests to focus his attention on spiritual knowledge. Realizing early on that consciousness was the key to an integral synthesis of spirituality, evolution, and science, he followed this intuition diligently, with meditation, mantra, and other practices, to receive and transcribe the tidings of The Age of Ananda.
