1893 Chicago's Worlds Fair brought together the A/C electric light of Tesla and the light of knowledge from ancient India of Vivekananda, a turning point in history since Dwapara Yuga represents both a spiritual and an energetic re-awakening for the world.
Tesla, a genius inventor with a will to aid humanity, was overshadowed by the more commercially-minded Edison and Westinghouse, whose names adorn companies and devices to this day, and, of course, their lawyers.
Tesla was both deeply influenced by Vivekananda and behind many of the inventions which define our modern age. His story is much similar to Gray's, the inventor of the telephone, who was eclipsed by Bell and his lawyers.
Effectively, Tesla was so far ahead of his time that only now are his contributions being truly appreciated. In his lifetime, his inventions generated the jealousy of Edison who to cite just two episodes robbed Tesla of $50,000 and invented the electric chair as a macabre attempt to discredit his rival.
Tesla inventions such as wireless electricity, as mentioned in the Dwapara Yuga book, are only now being commercialized since so much vested interest surrounds outdated wire networks. Even 100 years ago Tesla saw how limiting electric cables were and proposed going wireless, much as has happened in the telecom industry over the last 30 years with the moves from physical phone lines to cell and satellite technologies.
At Tesla's death, the FBI confiscated all of his documents since they included such item as a 'death ray' and 'earthquake' machine. A fraction of his works was later released to the Tesla museum in his native Serbia.
In more modern times, back in 1981 a young Bill Gates and his attorney father acquired a then little known program called DOS for $50,000, which was the foundation of the Microsoft Empire, a triumph of contracts and marketing with very little engineering or invention beyond branding and bundling. In fairness, although Microsoft's products are characterized by lack of security, instability and poor performance, Bill Gates' philanthropic efforts are laudable, the influence perhaps of his charitably-oriented mother.
