Guest guest Report post Posted August 7, 2006 I'm curious. Do Hindus have Prophecies? Can someone direct me to a source about Hindu Prophecies or does someone have a comment about it? Yeah, there are plenty of prophecies in the Hindu religion. For instance, the return of Krishna as Kalki, to destroy the world and start it anew. Some people believe this in a literal way, others believe it in an allegorical way. He's supposed to come at the end of Kali Yuga, but in Hinduism that's a long time away. It pretty much would be the Hindu counterpart to the Biblical Armageddon. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gHari 0 Report post Posted August 7, 2006 Because of cycling yugas and Nitya-lila, there are stories of past that will be future: Lord Krishna, Buddha, Kalki, Caitanya, Danvantari, Kurma, and on and on. At the end of Kali-yugas bounties will be placed on devotees' heads, and people will cannibalize their young. So whatever you see about the past in scripture, it is also a prophesy of the future, when that specific yuga rolls around again. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
