This exciting issue with its all new format and fresh inspiring articles shows once again the invincibilityinvincibility and undying courage of our great world movement. Although thethe corrupt Indian politicians tried to stop thethe publication of Harbinger, we have sprung up again with great vigor and more enthusiasm and devotion toto our great mission thanthan ever before. Let this regeneration be a clear indication of our determination and strength toto those who wish to crush the rise of spiritualism and moral leadershipleadership in thethe world today.

In this news magazine, we hope toto deal with all the pleasures (and problems) of establishing an inspired,inspired, moralistic human society inin thethe twentiethtwentieth century. From thethe view of our OWllowtt Central office, we can promote thethe exchange of valuable discoveries and new information on thethe organiza­ tional level also. Of course, without the inspiration, guidance, and correspondence of the workers and family people, none of this will be at all pospos.sible.sible. , This third issueissue of the Harbinger also marks the lOOOth day of BABA's miraculous fast and we.we, as aisa1s devotees, are once again amazed at His invincible determination and unbelievable ideological strength. No other leader of this world past or present has matched �is~is feats and we can only imagine what the future will bring in thethe company of our BABA. He has told us recen�lyrecen~ly thatthat He is not very impressed, at present, with the work in the various sectors. Let us now pledge to work harder, with even more dedication and devotion to please our beloved Father and to gain love,love 1 respect and support for this great �ovement~ovement from thethe general mass who is crytng out inin the darkness for our help every day. We would greatly appreciate comments, letters, artwork and ideasideas from anyone who is interest­ ed inin contributing.
