Guest guest Posted March 18, 2004 Report Share Posted March 18, 2004 In so many religions they are close to the end of thier holy books. I was wondering where the hindu religion stands in thiers and what they belief will happen in the passing on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maadhav Posted March 19, 2004 Report Share Posted March 19, 2004 the question is not clear. if you mean the end of the world - total annahilation - then it is no where near. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maadhav Posted March 20, 2004 Report Share Posted March 20, 2004 assuming tht you have friendly interet to know, here is the answer about creation-annahilation. mahavishu is sleeping on the bed made of teh coil of divine serpant shesha naag with seven or more hoods. this serpant-bed is flotaing in causal ocean. shesha naaga with his hoods provides umbrella shelter to vishnu. vishu's eyes are half closed half open. he is not a sleep. he is in yoga dhayna or bliss. as vishnu reathes out slowley, from the millions of the pores of his body universes spring up like a spray. each universe has a brahma (vishnu and mahesha and al the devatas). as vishnu breathes in, these niverses annahilate and go back in the pores again. npow the question is long is the breathing cycle time of mahavishnu? this answer is given in bhagavad gita ch. 8 purport in bhagavad gita as it is by prabhupada. see http://www.asitis.com the time is very long and many smaller creations and destructions happen in it. thus there is cycle of creation within creation, many times. eveni n our small life we can see creation happening and so can see destruction happening. do we worry about it? no. we do as krishna has said in gita. do we resist destruction? yes, if any asura tries to destroy. do we obstruct creation? yes, if any asur tries to create some weapons of mas destruction. do we stay neutral? yes, in many other cases.

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2004 Report Share Posted March 20, 2004 I was wondering if the manvantaras correlate with the scientific concept of mass extinctions. According to science, there have been 5 mass extinctions but the sixth is yet to come, or is taking place. However according to the manvantara viewpoint 6 have gone by and the 7th is to come right? Could they possibly be the same thing and one side or the other is just off by one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
