Yugas revisited.

[Guest guest]

Namaste All,

 

In the Ancient Wisom idea, each Creation, or Kalpa, is called a Day

and each Dissolution or Pralaya, is called a Night, of the Creator.

The universe is supposed to have commenced about 15,757,969,000,000,

years ago, approximately. Modern science has a date of 11, (at

present), as opposed to 15, I believe.

A Kalpa last for 4,320,000,000, ( modern science says the solar

system is 4.5 billion years old), human years, and is divided into

14 Manvantaras, or periods, of 71 cycles of Ages or Yugas. Every

Kalpa has 1,000 cycles of the 4 Yugas.

 

Each cycle is of 4,320,000, human years.

 

The 4 Yugas are; Counting from the back.

 

1.) Sathya, Krita, or Truth, which lasts for 1,728,000, years.

 

2.) Treta or Third, which lasts for 1,296,000, years.

 

3.) Dwapara or Second, which lasts for 864,000, years.

 

4.) Kali, Age of the Destruction, and quarrels, which lasts for

432,000, years.

 

The Kali Yuga is our present one and it only started, about 5,000

years ago, so it has a long way to run. It is an age of spiritual

decline and eventually civilisation itself will decline.

 

In the Sathya, or Krita Yuga, people were gigantic in size,

perhaps as tall as twenty feet, and lived for hundreds of years. As

the Yugas, or ages, progress, humans become smaller, and longevity

is reduced. So that at the time of Rama, twenty thousand years ago,

they had diminished to about twelve feet tall. (Skeletons this size

have been found in Peru, Europe and America). Until down to the

present time, man is usually no more than six feet tall, and only

lives up to about one hundred years.

 

So it is, that man will completely decline, living only twenty years

or so, be only three or four foot tall, and there will be much

horror and violence on the planet. People will live in bands, like

tribes of monkeys, and in fact will have regressed. Eventually the

planet will be subjected to catastrophes, the population will be

almost wiped out, and the cycle will start again with the New,

Sathya, Krita, Yuga.

 

So there have been approximately three to four Kalpas, or Ages,

since the Astral Descents, that became human, have been on the

planet, and two Kalpas since the descent of Adamic man. This is

enough time for many civilisations to be wiped out, and for man to

be almost destroyed, time and again. This is no doubt why they

find, machined tools in lumps of coal from deep in the mines. This

coal having been laid down millions of years ago. There is nothing

new under the sun, so to speak..............ONS..Tony.
