Neo-Humanism is a new mindset that we are to love not only our family members, our neighbors, our fellow countrymen, we are to love all the people of this world. Neo-Humanism goes one step further and says, we are to love even the animals and the plants on this earth, and care for and protect them from harm in the best way possible. How are we to reach this neo-humanist stance? Neo-Humanism is not a set of concepts. It is a state of being. Neo-humanism is based on the expansion of human consciousness found in mystical practice and the intensification of the human heart found in mystical love. This mysticism is innate within all cultural traditions. It is this mystical realization which we all share that is the basis for the dynamism of Neo-humanism. Based on this expanded consciousness, Neo-humanism examines and attempts to heal the pathologies of narrow sentiments that distort the human spirit, putting human beings into little boxes of race, class, caste, nation, ethnicity and religion. In addition, Neo-humanism provides a means for genuine mental liberation from psycho-economic exploitation. Finally, Neo-humanism provides a means of regenerating the various sub-cultures of the one culture that is called humanity. Articles in this section will explain the Neo-humanistic stance in greater detail. It is a mindset that we urgently need because it will help to unite the common people around the world - first to stop the exploitation of those oppressing the common people and then to build a new world based on this universal culture of Neo-humanism. Neo-Humanism is a world-view characterized by love for the Supreme. Love for the Supreme ultimately overflows onto all objects created by the Supreme. In turn, adoption of the Neohumanistic outlook safeguards and enhances the development of one's world-view, and the more expansive the world0view, the more one finds the ecstasy and peace of devotion. In His discourse, The Liberation of Intellect: Neohumanism, Shrii Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar has laid the foundations of this philosophy. Neo-Humanism, by Gary Coyle. Neo-humanism derives from the deepest recesses of the human personality, that vast reservoir of untapped spiritual inspiration. However, most human beings have limited mindsets based on geo-sentiment (geo-patriotism, geo-economics and geo-religion), socio-sentiment (allegiance to one community) or human sentiment, which is mainly confined to the realm ofa ideas. Neo-humanism, says Coyle, is the realm of action. Neo-humanism means elevating humanism to universalism, having love for all created beings of this universe. Prout and Neo-humanism . Ending exploitation and implementing Prout economic principles must be adjusted with present conditions. Prout is a universally applicable model, leading to universal fulfillment, serenity and satisfaction, freedom and realization. Human beings need to move forward while protecting the earth's resources such as water, plants and animals. Neo-humanism expands the intellect and inculcates deep love for all created beings. With neo-humanism as a base, a rational philosophy can be evolved to overcome all collective problems. Neo-Humanistic Approach to Economics , by Shrii Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar. While the spiritual order is infinite, the physical realm is finite. Due to the innate longings of human beings, they will never be satisfied with material acquisitions. Satisfaction will come only when approaching the spiritual realm. Prout will meet material needs, Neo-humanist mindset will remove physical and mental disparities amongst people and move them towards contemplation of the Supreme Entity. Universalism, by Shrii Prabhat R. Sarkar. The author says that the more expanded a mind becomes, the more it rises above feelings of tribalism, fundamentalism, provincialism, etc. He then points out 'nationalism' is a similarly restricted word - a narrow concept, and that our magnanimity should rise above this word also, this box, and move towards the mindset of universalism. Universalism means, all created beings are included in one's periphery, and one loves all created beings. No one is outside our periphery of caring. Capitalism, Marxism and Neo-humanist Economics, by Jayanta Kumar. The link between neo-humanism and economics is that neo-humanism provides the ethical framework and value system such that all economic activity relates to human welfare. Existing schools of economics (Marxism, capitalism, Keynesianism) are based on materialist values and vested interest. We need to move from materialist economics to neo-humanist economics, wherein the welfare of the common people is paramount! "The greatest social welfare for the human race will be accomplished if those who aspire to establish the world government (the universal family) engage themselves only in constructive activities and selfless service... They will have to go on rendering social service with steadfast commitment, without any ulterior motive in their minds." Shrii Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar The Liberation of Intellect , by Shrii Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar. In our 21st century we see increasingly people define themselves in the degrading terms of religion, ethnicity and nationality. Mere physical combat against extremists can be of no avail. Similarly, simply to intellectually criticize fundamentalists and nationalists will have little impact on those infected by these diseases. What is required is the total liberation of intellect. This article in a nutshell describes what this means and what we must do to achieve this. Liberation from Staticity , by Shrii Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar. Generally traditional western concept of liberation deals with the liberation from physical oppression and the repression of free flow of ideas. By contrast, the traditional eastern concept of liberation deals with the liberation from inner bondages and lower states of consciousness. In this article, the author briefly unites these concepts into a seed of universal liberation that has great potential for our global culture. "To build a healthy human race we should have given the people proper guidance in philosophy, in science, in all branches of human knowledge - which we did not do. We have utilized science more for destructive purposes than for benevolent aims. We have distorted the thought process of human beings. We have deliberately misguided the people instead of leading them along the proper path ... The only remedy is Neohumanism." Shrii Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar

This Universe is the common property of all living beings By Shrii P. R. Sarkar Every atom and molecule of this universe is the common property of all living beings. This has to be recognized as a matter of principle. After recognizing this fact, statements such as, "This is indigenous and that is foreign", "So-and-so is qualified for the citizenship of such-and-such country while others are not" and, "Such-and-such community will get certain political rights, neither more nor less than that", are totally irrelevant. In fact, such statements nakedly expose the vested interests. Where the people of one country suffer due to lack of land or food, while those of another country have abundant land and plentiful food, what else is it but a type of capitalism! All people have the right to travel and settle anywhere and everywhere they like and live as dignified human beings this is their birthright. If certain groups in any country refuse to accept this fundamental right of human beings, then it is to be under- stood that their slogans for peace are nothing but mere hoaxes intended to hoodwink the people. What to speak of this tiny earth, every planet, satellite, star, meteor and galaxy is the homeland of human beings! If anyone wants to deprive people of this birthright, human beings will have to establish it by force.

What is Proutist Universal (PU)? PROUTIST UNIVERSAL (PU) is the organisation created to develop the Progressive Utilisation Theory (PROUT) first conceptualised by seer philosopher Shrii Prabhat Rainjan Sarkar in 1959. PROUT is a comprehensive social and economic concept that recognizes the physical, mental, and spiritual dimensions of human nature and as such provides a map for the holistic development of a truly progressive society. It is an alternative to Capitalism and Communism, neither of which has adequately met the physical, mental, and spiritual needs of humanity. While communism has severely restricted individual expression and human freedom, capitalism has widened social divisions with the unequal access to goods and services and the environmentally and socially destructive over-accumulation of wealth by a few. Fundamental Principles of PROUT No individual should be allowed to accumulate any physical wealth without the clear permission or approval of the collective body. (click here for details....) There should be maximum utilization and rational distribution of all mundane, supra-mundane and spiritual potentialities of the universe. (click here for details....) There should be maximum utilization of the physical, metaphysical and spiritual potentialities of the unit and collective bodies of human society. (click here for details....) There should be a proper adjustment amongst these physical, metaphysical, mundane, supra-mundane and spiritual utilizations. (click here for details....) The method of utilization should vary in accordance with the changes in time, space and person, and the utilization should be of a progressive nature. (click here for details....) Four Economic Policies of PROUT Diversity is the law of nature and sameness will never be. In any particular age the minimum necessities of all shall be guaranteed. The surplus goods and services, after distributing the minimum requirements, are to be given according to the social value of the individual’s production. The increase of the standard of living is indication of the vitality of society. (click here to read the detailed article on four economic policies of PROUT) Mission of PROUT The mission of the Prout India is to unite moralists everywhere against exploitation anywhere. We seek to gather together the unheralded and unsung heroes and heroines around the globe, who quietly do yeoman work in countless local struggles against oppression. Oppression comes in countless forms, be it fundamentalism, fascism, communism, patriarchy, or corporate capitalism. The victims of oppression are human beings, animals and plants - all life forms. Prout India endeavors to unite all struggles against oppression into one global struggle, as we seek to create one world, one humanity and one family The vision of Prout India is for activists in all countries fighting for justice in all spheres of life to come together to form one universal coalition, in order to mobilize moralists for creating global change. By providing solidarity and support to all local, anti-exploitation struggles, the Prout India envisions the mobilization of humanity to end the economic hegemony of the transnational corporations and the political hegemony of any present or future superpowers.
