Influence of Kali on Phisiology/RE

A quick answer: It is undoubtably true from availaable statistics that

average body mass is increasing in many Western countries, like the US, but

since most of the populations is in third world countries and we are

frequently reminded of the food shrortages and famine in those areas, it

would be very safe to say the major tendency on a world wide basis is toward

smaller body statures. I am sure there are some relevant statistics; you

just need to find.

It would be very interesting to see what Sadaputa and the Bhaktivedanta

Institute say about this interesting question. Is it or is it not a fact that

people are getting smaller in Kali Yuga at this point. It must be true

because when King Mucukunda came out of the cave where he had slept for so

long, the first thing he noted was that everything, in particular the trees

had become smaller. So the problem is how to prove it to someone who doesn't

accept sastra. It will of course increase our knowledge base and therefore

our faith. So where all those scientists when you need them. Is there any

learned person who could help us out here and give an indepth scientific

analysis of the question.

Even if the bodies are increasing in size, intelligence and memory are

decreasing seriously.

I remember a small incident that took place in 1989, when I was a young

college student in Chandigarh, North India. I was a part of a big contingent

of the National Cadet Corps attached to an army camp going through a 4

month gruelling training session. The grand finale was a march down Rajpath

in New Delhi on 26th January, India's Republic Day. As a part of the Gaurd

of Honour for the late Rajiv Gandhi, some of us were given extra training.

The training instructor passed a comment which left me wondering...this is

what he said....

 

"I've been training cadets for the past 25 years. I've always had nothing

less than 6 footers under my command. This is my last year, and what do I

find? For the past 4 years, all my cadets seem to be growing shorter day by

day, and I rarely find a six footer among you, just dwarfs! What's happening

to this world?"

 

This comment made me reflect on the Srimad Bhagavatam quote on the influence

of Kali on phisiology, and I realized it was really hapenning!

Well, pratyaksa... I can present similar account but with an opposite

conclusion - at least regarding the body height progress:

 

One of my high school teachers told us: "As I have observed the students

during my career (more than 30 years) they are getting taller but dumber."

 

So at least the psychical characteristics seem to follow the sastra. As far as

the physical ones they seem to work well in India. 8)

I just visited tomb of an Old Testament prophet Daniel which is now situated

in Samarkhand. He lived some 3000 years ago. The tomb is 18 metres long.

That was supposedly his size
