Guest guest Report post Posted January 4, 2006 Does anyone know how the Mayan calendar correlates with the predictions of shastra and the acharyas? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gauracandra 1 Report post Posted January 18, 2006 Because according to the Mayan's the world ends in 2012 /images/graemlins/smile.gif Actually, if you want to read about Mayan cosmology I believe there is a book called the Popul Vuh that describes their view of the universe, the upper planetary systems and lower planetary systems etc.... I don't think there is an English translation but there might be sights that describe it. I've only read about Mayan cosmology on a very surfacial level but they viewed the universe like a cosmic tree with different levels. You can try reading this and seeing if you find any similarities: http://www.sacred-texts.com/nam/pvuheng.htm Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest guest Report post Posted January 19, 2006 "Hopefully not very well... Because according to the Mayan's the world ends in 2012." Not necessarily the end of the world, but perhaps the end of the world as we know it. This would possibly correlate with the 10,000 year golden age of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu's Sankirtan Movement. Whadaya think? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest guest Report post Posted January 19, 2006 2012 AD - 10,000 years is ~8000 BC. Humans were just beginning to learn agriculture & settle down at this time. How would this coincide with the golden age of the Sankirtan movement? Cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest guest Report post Posted January 19, 2006 On second thought, you probably meant the end in 2012 will signal the beginning of the golden age. Cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
