Abstract
The purpose of this study is to connect local prospects with global processes by considering these as dynamic cyclical co-movements allowing grassroots-movements to create. My approach is three-fold. First, it is my aim to compare spiritual knowledge with scientific knowledge as an alternative way to explain globalization and creation. Secondly, I seek to explore different scale-making projects of the grassroots-movement as motive to create and to provide a better understanding of global processes. Lastly, I attempt to find the logic behind ‘grassroots globalization’. To denote on the cyclical co-movements in each chapter, I will discuss the three dynamic forces Sattva, Rajah, Tamah, which are focused on each outlined chapter. According to Ananda Marga these three forces are essential for procreation and movement.
