The years 1999 and 2000

[Guest guest]

[bB comments: The following was written before the 8/11/99 solar eclipse, and

only recently came to my attention. I still think it has some validity,

however, so I forward it for your perusal]:

The following is a paper produced by Jai Hari, a jyotish astrologer, friend of

mine. He sent it to me and I'm taking the liberty to show it to you. If you

The years 1999 and 2000

 

It is now 1999 and we are quickly approaching the millennium.

 

My mind continues to nag me about the hardships I feel are soon to come upon

humankind. The year 2000 is a very ominous year for all living entities. The

year before, 1999, cannot be over looked. This is a foreboding year when

anything and everything adverse and terrible could befall humankind.

 

There is a full solar eclipse-taking place on August 11th 1999 at 11.08 GMT.

Mars is on the horizon. This particular full eclipse, is a rare type of

eclipse, in conjunction with other planetary positions. The constellation

that the Sun and Rahu are transiting is dynamic and threatening. The ominous

presence of this eclipse is a very dark omen for us all.

 

July of 1999 until July of 2000 is a very dangerous period on planet earth.

Some times I just shake my head, in wonder of it all. I am stunned by the

potential of destruction, behind all this. The planetary aspects are

frightful, appalling and ruinous. The eclipse takes place with Rahu and the

Sun in Cancer, the sign of the Moon. During the eclipse, the Moon is black

and devoid of life and power.

 

Beware of this eclipse, as it reveals the presence of Kali Durga, the Goddess

of death and destruction. Watch out for the red planet Mars and strings of

comets that follow after this ominous total eclipse of the Sun. Mars and

Saturn are very important planets in the transformations that the world is

going to witness in the years ahead. It has been predicted that it will take

until 2002 to just climb out of the rubble and major chaos. This is an

interesting prediction, as Uranus will enter sidereal Aquarius in 2002.

After the year 2002 it will take another few decades to bring some resemblance

of organization, form and structure back into society. If all the things that

have been predicted for the change of the millenium come true? It will take a

whole generation for complete restoration and healing.

 

>From the middle of 1999 to the middle of 2000 Mars and Saturn are extremely

destructive for mankind. First comes the ominous Solar Eclipse of 8/11/99,

then finishing with the grand conjunction of planets in Aries on 5/2000.

 

After this, the Kali Yuga age, will be held back for a period of 10,000 years.

There will be 5000 years to the perfection of a mini Satya Yuga, when the

planet is slowly returned to the mode of goodness. After that there is

another 5000 years of slow decline and degradation. At this point the dark

ages of Kali Yuga are back upon us in full force.

 

This 10,000-year cycle is a "Grace" period within the Kali Yuga. During this

time, unlimited living entities will return back to the spiritual world, due

to the unlimited and unfathomable mercy of the Golden Avatar.

 

The Age of Aquarius is the age of enlightenment. It is the beginning stage of

a mini Satya Yuga, or Golden Age. It is not the end of Kali Yuga; rather, it

is a 10,000-year grace period, within Kali Yuga. The grace period exists

simply by the unlimited mercy of Lord Caitanya, the Golden Avatar. The main

purpose of this 10,000-year grace period, is to flood the world with love of

God; liberating unlimited numbers of living entities, before the real Dark Age

of Kali Yuga is upon us in full force. As prophesized by Lord Caitanya, the

golden years of grace will offer unlimited spiritual opportunities.

 

It is an era when mankind will scientifically prove the existence of the soul.

From this pursuit light energy will evolve to levels beyond our present

imagination. The metaphysical arts and sciences are restored and honored.

The accuracy of Jyotish is restored to a hundred percent.

 

Aquarius is the sign of universal brotherhood, complete knowledge and service

to humanity. During this era human kind will come to fully acknowledge the

existence of the spirit soul in all living entities. The laws of human kind

will be based upon the natural laws of karmic retribution that is working

through the forces of material nature.

 

The earth will be returned to an almost perfect condition. Once Mother Nature

has been healed, the planet will become saturated in the mood of goodness.

Humankind will live in harmony with God and nature. Numerous evolved souls,

sages, mystics and pure devotees of God will incarnate. The human race will

benefit greatly by their association. There will be no more pollution, or

religious wars. The opportunities for spiritual advancement are abundant.

 

The Aquarius energy is not bound to race, color or creed. Aquarius sees the

true spirit in everyone. Aquarius is the sign of the Water-bearer who pours

great wisdom upon mankind. The Water-bearer will aid mankind toward

development of a society according to far greater moral and spiritual values.

 

Aquarius seeks universal brotherhood, expression and ideals. Aquarius is a

sign ruled by both Saturn and Uranus. The highest qualities in humankind are

expressed through an exalted Saturn. Limitations are broken and new frontiers

are explored when Uranus comes around. Uranus will return to Aquarius in

2002. This only happens once in a hundred years. It is considered a positive

turning point for humankind.

 

Astrologically speaking, the solar eclipse of 8/99, and the planetary line up

of the year 2000, are rare and unfriendly stars. In many ways, I will be glad

when this millennium bug is over, one way or another! The long time awareness

of the astrological influence of 1999 and 2000 has been a knowledgeable monkey

on my shoulders for many years. We will never pay witness to such an

astrological phenomena again in this life. If you are an astrologer, this

occurrence must take first place in your life.

 

No matter what happens, I am honored to have been born at a time in history of

such astrological significance. The solar eclipse of 8/99 is dark omen of

immense proportions as the planets prepare for their grand lineup of the year

2000.

 

During May of 2000 the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn lineup in

the constellation of Aries. Mars rules this constellation and he will be

leading the lineup slightly ahead in the early degrees of Taurus. During a

short period of time all seven planets will be in a straight line. Mars is

the commander and chief. This grand conjunction of planets is the planetary

inauguration of the Aquarius age.

 

>From the ashes of destruction, the birth of universal vision is upon us.

 

During the solar eclipse of 8/99 we plan to dedicate the whole day absorbed in

the Holy name of the Lord, along with spiritual and metaphysical study. In

this way we can stay absorbed in transcendental subject matter and the bliss

of the Lord’s Holy name.

 

We humbly suggest that you do some thing similar, on the day of the solar

eclipse, when Rahu attacks and swallows the Sun.

 

Shanti * Peace
