This is the first ‘day’ of the 51st year. I have similar intuitive feelings regarding the current events on the world stage. Thanks for the feedback, and for sharing the various predictions and prophecies.

Hopefully someone will get inspired by this little discussion and dig deeper. The duration of each Yuga, in this sequence, decreases by 1200 years from the previous one. I am very sure at some point it ends, but we don’t have to be in it, do we?Sorry for my lateness in answering you out on a trip since Thursday, then returning in a hurry yesterday for a funeral, a close friend of 46 years.

Yes, we DO devolve to lower life forms based on our Evil karmas.

Archaeologist Bruce Masse of the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico had examined a sample of 175 flood myths from different cultures around the world and concluded that the environmental aspects described in these events, which is also consistent with the archaeological and geophysical data, could have only been precipitated by a destructive, deep-water, oceanic comet impact.The 300 year transitional period between the Treta Yuga (Silver Age) and the Dwapara Yuga (Bronze Age) from 6976 BC – 6676 BC also coincides with a significant environmental event – the Similar major flooding events were taking place in many parts of the world, as massive glacial lakes, swelled by the waters of the melting ice, breached their ice barriers, and rushed into the surrounding areas. In any case, the Puranas are "Smriti" texts and are NOT considered as revealed texts i.e. The Jains believe that a complete Time Cycle (Kalachakra) has a progressive and a regressive half.

Well, in all honesty, doubt very much there was an idyllic time resembling paradise, myself convinced it’s all a matter of individual conscience, if you are a saint, everything looks Holy, to the sinner’s eyes, everything it’s sinful.The breadth and depth of knowledge discussed here is breathtaking. It is important to note that the ratio’s of the durations of the four Yugas in this sequence is 4:3:2:1.

According to the Yuga Cycle doctrine, the transitional periods between Yugas are Many ancient sources tell us of the enigmatic group of “Seven Sages” (“Saptarsi”) who are said to appear at the beginning of every Yuga and promulgate the arts of civilization. And also, Nostradamus and Kalagnana seem to be meeting at a common point - birth of Kalki, and in my opinion it should be around 2023. I'm glad you found the article informative.First of all let me acknowledge the fact that it takes lots of hard work to compose an article of this length, but the topic this article takes on is important one.To add to my previous comment, the error I discussed may not impact the conclusion of article....What a very well written article. That last occurred in 500ad/ce when sunrise on the spring equinox was at the 1st degree of the constellation Aries (1 Aries in the tropical zodiac is always wherever the sun rises on the spring equinox but because of precession it is offset from the constellation Aries except on that date).The confusion occurred during the descending Kali Yuga, which is typified by the destruction of knowledge (the Great Library of Alexandria was also destroyed early in the descending Kali Yuga).I hope someone finds the above helpful and interesting.In the aftermath of the eras and dies of civilizations, races, continents, the entire present earth, with its obsolete civilizations, its races that are no longer so bereft, its beliefs crystallized in forms of faith excluding one another, do we not see this earth which is ours furnish the flagrant proof of an end which calls for a recommencement?The History of Mankind, its long, or short depending how you see it, time its a continuum, but its finite, and some say its linear, other claim its cyclical.Whatever may be, the study of it is fascinating, if not conclusive.Sono assolutamente ignorante e mi hai dato lo spunto per ‘studiare’ teorie soteriche molto particolari e interessanti come stimolante e ante e valida è la conclusione che io faccio mia: “Cerca di condurre una vita veritiera. First off, I agree with your statement that most current (or vaguely current — i.e. I had many Indian colleagues during my years teaching in Oman who were observant Hindus, but I still feel I know so little about its ancient texts and mythology.

A similar understanding is reflected by virtually all other ancient accounts. as much as my current glasses will let me!

Even I followed Sri Yukteswar's Holy Science earlier to believe Dwapara follows after Kali.

The general understanding in ancient Hindu astronomy was that all the planets commenced their movement together at 0° of Aries but returned to the same position in the heavens, at certain fixed intervals, resulting in a universal conjunction.

2000, pp. And,in the context of the Yuga cycle, what do you think may be the factors which can create the initial "small fluctuations" that lead to the period of turbulence? twilight stretches for another 150 years.The truth is, we do not know what astronomical phenomenon brings about the Cycle of the Ages.

This is an Here is the most startling fact: Two of the most famous astronomers of ancient India, Aryabhatta and Paulisa, both believed that “Further, Brahmagupta says that “Aryabhatta considers the four yugas as the four equal parts of the Surprisingly, it was not only Aryabhatta, who held this point of view.
