Guest guest Posted March 20, 1999 Report Share Posted March 20, 1999 Kali-Yuga: The 51st Centennial This article is from VNN, The Vaishnava News Network -- BY GERALD SURYA EDITORIAL, Mar 20 (VNN) — On the New Moon night at the end of Phalguna (February), in the year 3102 BC, all planets lined up in one direction on one side of the planet earth. And on the other side over India, the dark planet Rahu hovered invisibly in the night. This marked the close of the Dvapara Age and the beginning of the Kali- yuga, the Age of Darkness. A simple calculation tells us that this is Kali Y5100-- the turn of yet another century in this ongoing dreadful age. In fact, this year March 18 (Chaitra sukla 1) marks the Fifty First Centennary Disappearance Anniversary of Lord Sri Krishna and first day of the New Kali-yuga Year. The Srimad Bhagavatam informs us: "Those who scientifically understand the past declare that on the very day that Lord Sri Krsna departed for the spiritual world, the influence of the age of Kali began." Visit the Kali-yuga Site to explore both the Horror and Wonder of this Age: http://kali.avatara.org Hoping you enjoy your visit! Gerald Surya ===============================================================================P\ ..S. There is a academic debate as to the exact time Kali Yuga began. However, it is only a question of one or two years differance. Any one out there with info on this point; we would love to see it.
