Guest guest Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 Dear All, Namaskar. Many web sites are talking about the year 2012 due in another 5 and half years closure of KALI YUGA and starting of a new age named as GOLDEN AGE (SWARNA YUGA). It is predicted that GOLDEN AGE would last for 10,000 years and during this period mankind would follow spiritual path and Hinduism would regain its popularity all over the world. Men and women from other religions would be attracted towards Hinduism by its clear strength. Despite of criticism from people of other religions, we must always be thankful to GOD for giving this birth in HINDU religion. Many people from other religions accept that it is not possible to see GOD, but only HINDU religion is having clear answer about process of seeing GOD and it is established truth with many real life examples. Here is some interesting information related to developments in the year 2012. Golden Age to begin in 2012From David Hedges Mayan Calendar Corroborates Hindu ProphecyIn the Brahma-Vaivarta Purana, Lord Krishna tells Ganga Devi that there will be a Golden Age within the Kali-yuga that will start 5,000 years after the beginning of the Kali Yuga. The Golden Age will last for 10,000 years according to Lord Krishna. The Kali Yuga calendar began at midnight on 18 February 3102 B.C. according to many sources. The ancient Hindu's mainly used lunar calendars but also used solar calendars. If an average lunar year equals 354.36 days, then this would be about 5270 lunar years from the time when the Kali Yuga started until 21 Dec 2012, the year that the Mayans predict rebirth of our planet; and it is also about 5113 solar years of 365.24 days per year. zSB(3,3) Krishna said that the Golden Age would start 5,000 years into the Kali Yuga, but did he mean exactly or approximately 5,000 years? Did he mean lunar or solar years? I think he meant approximately 5,000 years. So, it doesn't matter if they were lunar or solar years. (You can convert a Gregorian date to Kali day number and back.) 21 Dec 2012, the winter solstice day, is supposed to be the end of the Mayan calendar, and will begin there-birth of the world, a totally different world, and this date is day number 1,867,817 into the Kali Yuga. By either solar or lunar years, we are over 5,000 years into the Kali Yuga and it is time for Lord Krishna's prophecy to happen according to the ancient Hindu scriptures. Lord Krishna's Golden Age could easily begin in 2012! The Mayan calendar began with the Fifth Great Cycle in 3114 B.C. and will end on 21 December 2012 A.D. The Hindu Kali Yuga calendar began on 18 February 3102 B.C. Note that there are only 12 years difference between the Hindu's beginning of the Kali Yuga and the Mayan's beginning of the Fifth Great Cycle. The Mayan's Fifth Great cycle calendar will last for 5126 years, then a new age of change will begin in 2012. It's amazing that both calendar's began at about the same time over 5000 years ago and both calendar's predict a totally new world and/or golden age after about 5000 years into their calendars! I think we are onto something with these Mayan and Hindu 2012 predictions. Source : About.com web site Best Regards Upendra V Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
