>In response to Bonnie Scots facts & figures.

> Bagavad Gita As It Is. As spoken by Lord Krsna to His freind Arjuna,for

>whom the Lord was acting as his chariot driver,5000 years ago at the Battle

>of Kurukshetra - Chapter 4 -verse 1 / "The Blessed Lord said; I have

>instructed this imperishable science of yoga to the sun-god,Vivasvan,&

>Vivasvan instructed it to Manu,the father of mankind,& Manu in turn

>instructed it to Iksvaku. "

> verse 2 / Lord Krsna , "This supreme science was thus received through

>the chain of disciplic succession,& the saintly kings understood it in that

>way. But in course of time the succesion was broken,& therefore the science

>as it is appears to be lost."

> verse 3 / "That very ancient science of the relationship with the

>Supreme

>is today told by Me to you because you are My devotee as well as My freind;

>therefore you can understand the transcendental mystery of this science."

> To further understand the mystery of this descent of knowledge

>,it

>helps greatly to have an understanding of the 4 yugas which rotate like

>changing seasons,only on a much larger time scale. The ancient Hopi

>tradition also regards the history of the earth in the same manner except

>they cite 5 ages or yugas. However, the nature of the changing ages or

>yugas

>is the same wherein morality,truthfulness,beauty,strenght,longevity,memory

>&

>knowledge,all become reduced daily,by the reduction of morality among the

>human population.

> As envy,jealousy & greed dominate,so degradation of the entire human

>population continues or ensues untill the end of the present age in some

>400,000 years henceforward. Those persons who take to the vedic culture

>or

>a godly way of life,separate & shelter themselves from the ominous bad

>vibes

>of the present heads of state,& their infamous activities within our

>"modern" culture ,which presently has taken to deadly missle & weapons

>production like never before known to mankind. Just in our short lifetime

>the threat of nuclear warfare has proliferated. Add to this the increasing

>numbers & intensity of earth quakes,devastating storms & floods,all

>bringing

>us to the year 2000,& we have Kali Yuga , 5000 years into it.

> The vedic science is mean't ,as Lord Krsna says,for the heads of

>state

>to rule by,but modern culture ignores it infavour of science . In todays

>culture,city people,(75%), have more conection with their t.v,s & computers

>than with nature. Nature is experienced by fantastic film shots of

>mountains,oceans,& nature shows, etc. The disappearance of species of

>birds,fish.& animals began in the 1700's hundreds,not just a few years ago.

>. Alas,vedic culture is all but lost except for those of us who choose to

>focus on this reality on a daily basis. We are all eternal & will gravitate

>to the places of our thoughts.
