Going global in its literal sense is described as a process by which people of the world are unified into a single society and function together. Well, if that is going global then the first thought that comes to me is that of a Kumbha Mela…why a kumbha Mela? 
From a common man’s point of view it seems to be something totally illogical. But if we see from a broader perspective, a Kumbha Mela is a Spiritual Expo. Over the centuries, thousands of sages who have meditated, done penance and been enlightened come to the "Kumbha Mela" and relieve themselves of the burden of the merits gained through Sadhana by bathing in the rivers. Water has the quality to absorb the energy that they radiate. The seekers, who come from all corners to be in the company of the seers and saints, gain that merit when they take a dip in the rivers.
Isn’t this a perfect example of Globalization!!!
As Guruji says, Globalization is not a new concept because long before we even thought of globalization, religion and spirituality has already done it.
Today the world is in the grip of terrorism, which is striking everywhere in the name of God and India has the solution for this. As the French Journalist and writer François Gautier aptly puts in one of his articles-
Beyond the poverty, beyond the immense problems that India has encountered since independence, there is a knowledge here that has been lost to the rest of the world, a knowledge so precious that it makes India unique. India holds the key to the world's future. For India is the only nation which still preserves in the darkness of Her Himalayan caves, on the luminous ghats of Benares, in the hearts of her countless yogis, or even in the minds of her ordinary folk, the key to the planetary evolution, its future and its hope.
It is required to reread history, and look at India not through the western prism, but with the ancient wisdom that she has bestowed upon us. Be it the Bhagwad Geeta, the Vedas, the Puranas, everything is perfect and flawless. These have come from the perfected being in a state of total bliss, love and contentment.
