Guest guest Posted December 7, 2006 Report Share Posted December 7, 2006 Namaste Noel, There's a Mel Gibson movie coming out this Friday. It's called Apocalypto. This movie may deal with this end of the world prediction. Critics believe Gibson is using this movie as a social commentary about current day issues. Current descendants of the Mayas living in Guatemala have already protested the content of the movie as it portrays their forefathers as savages. But then again what is savage? Is the attainment of enligthtenment the criteria for NOT being a savage? If yes, then many of the people today are still savages. According to the vedic shastras, this world will end as well when the night of Brahma starts. Then, worlds will be created again when the new day comes. There's way to calculate the length of a Brahman day. But one has to read a specific chapter of the Srimad Bhagavatam to get the parameters. I've read the specific chapter and verse in the past. But I could not recall the exact numbers. Nonetheless, we are now in the early stage of Kali Yuga which will last for 432,000 years. Chances are the world will not end in 2011 or even at the end of Kali Yuga. It is more likely that the universe will end as a Big Crunch or Big Freeze, according to present day cosmologists. I would predict we would be long gone from this earth when the world comes to an end.

Guest guest Posted December 7, 2006 Report Share Posted December 7, 2006 Hi John… I have the 18 books of the "Srimad Bhagavatam" by Swami Prabhupada and the 50 books of the "Sacred Books of The Eest" by Max Muller, and one of my goals in life was cross reference them. To see it from and India point of view verse an Englishman's point of view... It will in all probability never happen; it doesn't seem to be as important to me now as it use to. Swami Yukteswar {1855-1936} in his book The "Holy Science" copyrighted in 1949 stated "and I quote" starting from page 15, 3rd paragraph; … The position of the world in the Dwapara Sandhi era at present {A.D. 1894} is not correctly shown in the Hindu almanacs. The astronomers and astrologers who calculate the almanacs have been guided by wrong annotations of certain Sanskrit scholars {such as Kulluka Bhatta} of the dark age of Kali Yuga is 432,000 years, of which 4994 have {in A.D. 1894} passed away, leaving 427,006 years still remaining. A dark prospect! , and fortunately one not true. The mistake crept into almanacs for the first time during the reign of Raja Parikshit, just after the completion of the last descending Dwapara Yoga. At that time Maharaja Yudhisthire, Noticing the appearance of the dark Kali Yoga, made over his throne to his grandson, the said Raja Parikshit Maharaja Yudhisthira, together with all the wise men of his court, retired to the Himalayas Mountains, the paradise of the world. Thus there was none in the court of Raja Parikshit who could understand the principle of correctly calculating the ages of the several Yugas. Hence, after the completion of the 2400 years of the current Dwapara Yuga, No one dared to make the introduction of the dark Kali Yuga, more manifest by beginning to calculate from its first year and to put an end to the number of Dwapara years. According to this wrong method of calculation, therefore, the first year of Kali Yuga was numbered 2401 along with the age of Dwapara Yoga. In A.D. 499, when 1200 years, the length of the true Kale Yuga, was complete, and the sun had reached the point of it's orbit farthest from the grand center {when the Autumnal Equinox was on the first point of Libra in the heavens} the age of Kali in its darkest period was then numbered by 3600 years instead of by 1200. With the commencement of the Ascending Kali Yuga, after A.D. 499, the sun began to advance in its orbit nearer to the grand center, and accordingly the intellectual power of man started to develop. Therefore the mistake in the almanacs began to be noticed by the wise men of the time, who found that the calculations of the ancient rishis had fixed the period of one Kali Yuga at 1200 years only. But as the intellect of these wise men was not yet suitably developed, they could make out only the mistake itself, and not the reason for it. By way of reconciliation, they fancied that 1200 years, the real age of Kali, were not the ordinary years {"years of the gods"}, consisting of 12 daiva months of 30 daiva days each, with each daiva day being equal to one ordinary solar year of our earth. Hence according to these men 1200 years of Kali Yoga must be equal to 432,000 years of our earth. In coming to a right conclusion, however, we should take into consideration the position of the Vernal Equinox at spring in the year 1894. The astronomical reference books show the Vernal Equinox now to be 20 degrees 54' 36" distant from the first point of Aries {the fixed star Revati}, and by calculation it will appear that 1394 years have passed since the time when Vernal Equinox begin to recede from the first point of Aries. Deducting 1200 years {the length of the last Ascending Kali Yoga} from 1394, we get 194 to indicate the present year of the world's entrance into the Dwapara Yuga. The mistake of older almanacs will thus be clearly explained when we add 3600 years to this period of 1394 years and get 4994 years which according to the prevailing mistaken theory represents the present year {A.D. 1894} in the Hindu almanacs. Referring to the diagram given in the book, the reader will see that the Autumnal Equinox is now {A.D. 1894} falling among the stars of Virgo Constellation, and in the Ascending Dwapara Yuga End of quote… When I was a young man searching out truth I always had to see all the little details between the initial cause and the final effect for me to have any faith in it… As I grew older I came to realize that if I were going to analyze everything so deeply that I would not gain enough truth to satisfy me before I die. I had to pick a direction and stick with it if I was to be fruitful… I pick Paramahansa Yogananda for numerous reasons. #1 I never found any contradictions in his vast body of teachings. #2 He had more followers then all the other Yogis. #3 He left behind more good then all the rest. #4 He always comes to me when I really need him. So to make a short story long, it wasn't hard for me to jump to the conclusion that his Guru Swami Yukteswar was probably right on too… according to my calculations we are about 200 years into Dwapara Yuga going from the Iron age into the bronze age. Which would stand up to a better reasoning considering the procession of science in the last 200 years; leaving the dark ages of the 17th and 18th centuries behind… if nothing else it's a more positive out look on the future of humanity… Namasta …Noel… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 8, 2006 Report Share Posted December 8, 2006 Namaste Noel, I'm impressed with your detailed knowledge of the vedic science. With that knowledge, you should be able to determine when the end of the day of Brahma--hence, the end of the universe as we know it. The Mayan calendar appears to be highly developed as well. As I recall, the Mayan culture was based on the planet Venus. As such, they developed a numbering system based on 20, which is supposedly based on the cycle of Venus. Unfortunately, their written language is not as extensive as the Hindus. In addition, their civilization disappeared before the time the Spaniards came to the New World. And of those written documents that were found, most of them were burned by the Spaniards. Therefore, we should not worry too much about the indications of the Mayan calendar, which for the most part has been conjured up by some groups enamored by the Meso-American cultures of the past.

Guest guest Posted December 8, 2006 Report Share Posted December 8, 2006 John, may I heckle? (assuming your answer is yes, I¹ll continue) >I'm impressed with your detailed knowledge of the vedic science. >With that knowledge, you should be able to determine when the end of >the day of Brahma--hence, the end of the universe as we know it. But how do you feel about Noel¹s spelling of ³consciousness²? John, he was quoting. That was Yukteswar, not Noel. (and he clearly states he was quoting) And, you don¹t need to determine the end of the day of Brahma, it¹s clearly stated all over the scriptures that teach us about Brahma (of whom we have no proof, nobody has ever seen, etc, thus we have no idea of the relevance at all about any such ³day².) And I¹m wondering, if I sign up, do I HAVE TO BE a misogynist ? >The Mayan calendar appears to be highly developed as well. As I >recall, the Mayan culture was based on the planet Venus. As such, >they developed a numbering system based on 20, which is supposedly >based on the cycle of Venus. I think Ireland is based on the ³Delicates and Knits² cycle. >Therefore, we should not worry too much about the indications of the >Mayan calendar, which for the most part has been conjured up by some >groups enamored by the Meso-American cultures of the past. If the end is coming, we should worry. We should only worry if Hindus make a prediction. Those groups into Indian things are never enamored by India. I think I get it all now. Sorry, some of the people I tech support drive me to these lunatic states. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 8, 2006 Report Share Posted December 8, 2006 Hi Noel, Swami Yukteswar was using the star Revati, rather than Chitra (Spica), as his primary fiducial or marking star. Revati (not the nakshatra Revati), is a 5.57 magnitude star that was located a mere 10' from the Vernal Point in 562 CE. At some point in Indian history it appears that the primary marking star was changed to Chitra--I've never heard an explanation for this change (although Chitra is many times brighter as a 1st magnitude star and perhaps seems more likely as a candidate for a referent.) Yukteswar also stated: "When the Sun in its revolution around its dual....." The above statement has been interpreted by some to mean that Yukteswar was implying that the Sun had a binary twin that it was revolving around. Some modern scientists are seeing evidence of this in unexplained disturbances in various planetary bodies that could be accounted for by an as yet undetected twin. http://www.spacedaily.com/reports/Evidence_Mounts_For_Companion_Star_To_Our_Sun.html http://www.spacedaily.com/reports/Sun_Has_Binary_Partner__May_Affect_The_Earth.html http://www.amazon.com/Great-Year-Robert-Ballo/dp/B0000YHVMG Yukteswar's Great Year of 24,000 years includes the idea that the precessional rate is 54" per year, as opposed to the current rate of 50.26" which requires a Great Year of 25,800 years. The earth's nutation or wobble on it's axis is the theory behind the current model of precession, but a new theory includes the idea that precessional movement may be due to the Sun's orbit around its binary twin. This model may also account for the fact that the precessional rate seems to be changing or speeding up. Here is one theory that links a 24,000 year cycle with a solar binary twin. http://72.14.253.104/search?q=cache:empBbCpfzVIJ:www.newfrontiersinscience.com/Papers/v02n01a/v02n01a.pdf+periapsis+of+a+binary+system&hl=en&gl=us&ct=clnk&cd=8&client=firefox-a .. http://www.binaryresearchinstitute.org/evidence/simplicity.shtml Anyway, some food for thought regarding Swami Yukteswar and his "Holy Science", BTW, one of the links above takes you to amazon.com and a DVD called "The Great Year" where this idea and Swami Yukteswar are discussed. I saw this on PBS a few years ago and it was quite fascinating.
