On the occasion of the Golden Jubilee Year of Prout

We are pleased to invite all proutists of the globe to attend the Global Prout Convention in Delhi (India). This is a unique opportunity to get deeper understanding of Prout ideology and work out the methodology for its implementation. The present global economic crisis is much greater than the Great Depression of 1929. Prout (Progressive Utilization Theory) was first propounded by the eminent seer and philosopher of the 20th century Shrii P.R. Sarkar at Jamalpur, Bihar (India) on June 5th 1959 to solve all socio-economic problems of the world.

The atmosphere that develops throughout this convention will take you to a new deeper level of understanding of Prout philosophy through various sessions of workshops, seminars and group discussions led by experienced proutists.

The convention will work out the methodology for creating greater socio-economic awareness and implementation of Prout ideology. Regular bhajan-kiirtans, yoga-meditations, lessons on moral values as well as following workshops:

Panacea for global economic meltdown, decentralized economy, the cooperatives, economic democacry, socio/economic groupifications, leadership, future plans and programs and the organizational structure.

Plus: Open discussion, fine vegetarian food, cultural programs and free time.

What to bring: Blankets and bedsheets, notebook, toiletries and necessary personal belongings.

On Board Air India One (IANS) Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, an economist turned politician, on Saturday said former Infosys co-chairman Nandan Nilekani's appointment as head of a government project was "only a beginning" and there was room for more intellectuals in governance.

"I would like to involve more intellectuals in the governance process," he told reporters while returning from the G8-G5 summit in Italy.

Referring to Mr. Nilekani's appointment last month as chairman of the government's ambitious National Authority for Unique Identity, the prime minister said: "This is only a beginning."

Mr. Manmohan Singh noted that the move to rope in the IT industry leader "has been widely welcomed".

"There is an enormous reserve of intellectuals available in the country who were outside the political system," he said.

Dr. Ravi Batra, Southern Methodist University professor, presented causes and solutions to the economic crisis at a recent lecture at Brookhaven College.

During his lecture March 3 titled "The Present Economic Crisis and Its Solution," Batra spoke to approximately 200 government students and faculty.

Batra said political corruption and cutting interest rates are the causes, and raising wages is the solution to the crisis.

Batra is the author of two international The New York Times best sellers. In October 1978, he was ranked as the third in a group of 46 superstar economists selected from all American and Canadian universities by the Economic Enquiry journal.

Batra said he forecasted the downfall of communism from Russia in his book published in 1978. He said he wrote that the Chinese variety of communism could last a little longer but that it would eventually fall.

Batra said he predicted aspects of the current economic crisis in his latest book, "The New Golden Age: The Coming Revolution Against Political Corruption and Economic Chaos," in 2006.

He said he predicted the stock market crash, the housing market downfall and credit crisis in the book. He also foresaw a minority president would be elected. He said the new president would bring change.

Batra said President Obama is a nice man, but he selected experienced people with old ideas.

"If the government is not careful, recession will turn into depression," he said.

Michael Shuman advocates "Going Local," showing how local businesses are beating global competition and helping to create self-reliant communities. One innovative idea: invest locally by moving a portion of pension funds into regional stock exchanges.

Prophet of Boom (and Bust)

The worst economic cycle in more than half a century has everyone from struggling homeowners to former Federal Reserve chairmen shaking their heads in disbelief. Jobs are disappearing, retail sales are in the toilet, bankruptcies of major companies are a daily occurrence, and an unprecedented, massive government bailout has failed thus far to unfreeze the credit system that is the lifeblood of U.S. capitalism.
Even the iconic architect of the current economic system himself, former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan, told a Congressional panel several months ago that his deregulation and debt-is-OK approach was mistaken. But what exactly is causing the current worldwide financial meltdown, Greenspan said, he’s still trying to figure out.
