But in North India and Nepal there is another era that is AD+57 years, i.e. in 2006 it will be 2063 in this calendar and their Y2K was back in 1943. And oh yeah, if you're Jewish, it's 5766 and the new year celebration is in September or early October. It's 1426 in the Islamic calendar. And in the French Revolutionary Calendar http://webexhibits.org/calendars/calendar-french.html c'est l'an 215. www.haindavakeralam.org seems like a very chauvinistic anti-Communist "my Kerala right or wrong" site.

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2006 Report Share Posted January 1, 2006 Namah Shivayah, As with everything else, there is some disagreement about the various yugas, but I learned about them from Yogananda's SRF. A simplified version is that the world goes through a 24,000 year cycle, based on the precession of the the equinoxes. You can vizualize this as a circle. There are four yugas, Satya, the highest, at the top of the circle, Treta, the descending yuga, Kali, the lowest, at the bottom of the circle, and Dwapara, the ascending yuga, kind of like the way the hands go around a clock. Yogananda differed from other "Hindus" in that his guru, Sri Yukteswar said that Kali yuga was only 1200 years long, not 438,000--or some such number--as most (including Amma) accept. So some (Yogananda devotees)say we are in Dwapara, whereas most mainstream Hindus say we are in Kali Yuga. It's a much more cheerful thought to be in Dwapara than Kali, and since it's the yuga that dispells space with electrical energies, etc., there's some reasons to believe we might be in Dwapara. I heard a Hare Krsna priest once say that in their belief system man would only be 12 inches tall at the end of the 400,000 Kali Yuga, not a happy thought. So choose your yuga!
