Guest guest Report post Posted June 8, 2005 !! Sri Rama Jayam !! --------------------- 'Predicting future' has been a very vital topic of interest to almost all of us whether we show it on others or not. This is a small reading for all those who wish to understand this very science of prophecies based on Vedic approach of thinking well documented as one among the 18 puranas compiled by Sri Vyasa Deva. ------------------------- The Bhavishya Purana is an ancient text authored by Sri Vyasa Muni, the compiler of the Vedic texts. It is listed among the eighteen major Puranas. Bhavishya means " future " and Purana means " history " , so the text's name would translate literally as " The History of the Future " . Though the text was written many thousands of years before the recorded events took place, by the power of his mystic vision, Sri Vyasa was able to accurately predict the happenings of the modern times. One of the text's poetic styles is to present the events as though they have already happened. This is a common practice in Sanskrit poetry, and does not indicate that the book was written in modern times. Modern scholars reject the contents of Bhavishya Purana mostly on the grounds that its information is too accurate. But we should ask ourselves: If there was an empowered saint, who knew past, present and future, and if he chose to write a book named " The History of the Future " , shouldn't it contain accurate information about the modern times, as the title suggests? We cannot disqualify it simply because it speaks accurately of the British controlling India, Hittler fighting the world, and Max Mueller misrepresenting the Vedic teachings. " Veda " means knowledge, and the Vedic texts contain knowledge of everything - past, present and future.
