[vedic-culture] Kali Yuga and Sri Yukteshwar

[Guest guest]

Hello,

 

Yes, I've read Holy Science by Swami Yukteswar Giri and

he showed how the errors crept into the yuga calculation

by multiplying each year of the solar year as 320 years of

Daiva years or something like that.

 

Recently I've finished reading the book Lemurian Scrolls

written by SatGuru Sivaya Subramuniyaswami of Hawaii Irivan

Temple. According to him, we started Satya Yuga approx. 100

to 200 years ago if I may recall. But certainly Sayta yuga

started as per him. And we all know about what the traditional

vedic scriptures say about yuga cycles. So there are atleast

3 theroies I know of and they all have their own merits.

 

Regards,

/Mani

there not reason to debate whether or not we are presently in Kali Yuga?

> According to Sri Yukeshwar's calculations as described in his book, The Holy

Science, we are presently in the 299th year of the ascending Dwarpara Yuga. I

believe his case for this calculation to be rational, sound and compelling. I

realize this is probably not news because Yukteshwar wrote his words in 1894,

but it warrants mention.

God, these words ring true for me. For anyone who has yet to read The Holy

Science, I recommend it.
