Yugas and the Zodiac

By Master Choa Kok Sui

 

According to Sri Yukteswar this Great Cycle has a duration of 24,000 years and

corresponds to the twelve zodiac signs. Therefore, the influence of each zodiac

sign lasts for about 2,000 years. Modern astrologers and astronomers believe

that this Great Cycle has a duration of about 26,000 years. MCKS would take the

opinion of Sri Yukteswar more seriously than that of the modern astrologers or

astronomers, since he is a great yogi, a great sage and a great seerer.

 

The following materials, computations and numbers are based on information

provided by Sri Yukteswar in his book, The Holy Science, from page 3 to page 20.

 

As stated earlier, from the lowest point of the Dark Age to the highest point

of the Golden Age takes 12,000 years. This is called the ascending arc. The

ascending arc is divided into four periods.

 

The Dark Age is called Kali Yuga. Since it is on the ascending phase it is

called Ascending Kali Yuga, which has a duration of 1,200 years. The initial

ascending age which corresponds to the Lower Mental Ascending Age is called the

Ascending Dwapara Yuga. It has a duration of 2,400 years. Then the Ascending

Higher Mental Age is called Ascending Treta Yuga, which has a duration of 3,600

years. Finally, the Golden Age.

 

The Golden Age corresponds to the Spiritual Age and is called Satya Yuga.

Since it is on the ascending phase it is called Ascending Satya Yuga, which has

a duration of 4,800 years. The total duration of these four yugas is 12,000

years.

 

The Descending Golden Age or Descending Satya Yuga Age has a duration of 4,800

years. Then it is the Descending Higher Mental Age or Descending Treta Yuga,

which has a duration of 3,600 years.

 

Next, the Descending Lower Mental Age or Descending Dwapara Yuga has a

duration of 2,400 years. Finally, the horrible Dark Age, this is called the

Descending Kali Yuga which has a duration of 1,200 years. The four descending

yugas have a duration of 12,000 years.

 

The Golden Age is divided into two parts. The Ascending Golden Age lasts for

4,800 years. The Descending Golden Age or Descending Satya Yuga has a duration

of 4,800 years. The entire Golden Age or the entire Satya Yuga has a duration of

9,600 years. It is easier to achieve oneness with the higher soul, even up to

achieving God realization during the Golden Age or Satya Yuga.

 

The Higher Mental Age or Treta Yuga is divided into two phases, the descending

phase and the ascending phase, each with a duration of 3,600 years. The Lower

Mental Age is also divided into two phases, the ascending phase and the

descending phase, each with a duration of 2,400 years.

 

The Dark Age or Kali Yuga is divided into two phases, the Ascending Kali Yuga

and the Descending Kali Yuga, each with a duration of 1,200 years. The entire

Dark Age or the entire Kali Yuga has a duration of 2,400 years. The way to

overcome the influence of the Kali Yuga or the Dark Age is to encourage the

entire population to do yogic meditation or the Meditation on Twin Hearts. If

this is done, the impact of the Kali Yuga or Dark Age will be substantially

minimized.

 

The Meditation on Twin Hearts activates the heart chakra and the crown chakra.

The activation of the crown chakra increases the degree of spiritual oneness.

Kali Yuga has an effect only on people who are not spiritually developed or

whose crown chakras are not significantly active. A yogi in a state of spiritual

oneness is not substantially affected by the farther distance from the center of

the galaxy.

 

According to Sri Yukteswar, the lowest point of the Dark Age was in about 500

A.D. (The Holy Science, page 13)

 

The Descending Dark Age started in 700 B.C., with its lowest point in 500 A.D.

when the sun is farthest from the center of the galaxy. This is the descending

phase of the Dark Age or the Descending Kali Yuga. This period encompasses 1,200

years of Aries and reaches the start of the Age of Pisces. The Ascending Dark

Age or Ascending Kali Yuga lasted from 500 A.D. to 1,700 A.D., encompassing

1,200 years of Pisces.

 

The Ascending Lower Mental Age or Ascending Dwapara Yuga started from 1,700

A.D. to 4,100 A.D. This yuga will encompass 800 years of Pisces and 1,600 years

of Aquarius.

 

The Ascending Higher Mental Age or Higher Treta Yuga will start from 4,100

A.D. to 7,700 A.D. This will encompass 400 years of the Aquarian Age, 2,000

years of the Age of Capricorn and 1,200 years the Age of Sagittarius.

 

The Ascending Golden Age or the Ascending Satya Yuga will start from 7,700

A.D. to 12,500 A.D. when the sun is nearest the center of the galaxy. This will

encompass 800 years of Sagittarius, 2,000 years of Scorpio and 2,000 years of

Libra.

 

The Descending Golden Age or the Descending Satya Yuga will start from 12,500

A.D. to 17,300 A.D. This will encompass 2,000 years of Virgo and 2,000 years of

Leo, and 800 years of Cancer.

 

The Descending Treta Yuga starts from 17,300 A.D. to 20,900 A.D. and will

encompass 1,200 years of Cancer, 2,000 years of Gemini and 400 years of Taurus.

 

The remaining Descending Dwapara Yuga will start from 20,900 A.D. to 23,300

A.D. and will encompass 1,600 years of Taurus and 800 Aries.

 

The Descending Kali Yuga will start from 23,300 A.D. to 24,500 A.D. This will

encompass 1,200 years of Aries.

 

On the ascending arc, there are four yugas. On the descending

arc, there are another four yugas. Technically there are a total of 8 yugas.

 

MCKS is not an astrologer nor an astronomer. His knowledge of these fields is

minimal. He wrote these two articles in order to clarify this important subject.

The calculations in these articles are rough approximations. The Spring Equinox

has been used in the calculation because this is more popularly used and

understood at the present time.

 

 

Avatars and the Zodiac Signs

The symbols utilized by the recent avatars were mostly based on Spring

Equinoxes. Avatar Yehosua, also known as Lord Jesus, started His teaching at the

later phase of Aries. This is why He is known as the Lamb of God. Since His

teachings will influence people in the Age of Pisces, the symbol used by the

Christians is the fish and the apostles of the Lord Jesus are called “fishers of

men”.

 

Lord Krishna was the avatar during the period of Taurus, for the Spring

Equinox and Scorpio, for the Autumn Equinox. This is why the cow is usually

associated with Krishna and the disciples of Avatar Krishna were called gopis,

which means milkmaids. This is symbolical and is not to be taken literally.

 

When Raja Parikshit was questioning the character of Lord Krishna, the answer

given was that even though He had many wives and gopis, He never lost a single

drop of His semen when having sex. Lord Krishna was the avatar during the period

of Taurus and Scorpio. He symbolizes the mastery of sexual energy, the

transforming of sexual energy into spiritual energy, to achieve oneness with God

or achieving God realization.

 

The word Brahmacharya, which is literally understood as sexual celibacy, has a

higher meaning. Acharya means one who practices. Brahman means God.

Brahman-Acharya means, one who practices union with God, by transforming sexual

energy into Spiritual Energy.

 

Lord Rama was the avatar during the period of Gemini and Sagittarius, Gemini

for Spring Equinox and Sagittarius for Autumn Equinox. This is why several of

the characters in Ramayama are twins and also several of the characters have

dual personalities. Avatar Rama is usually shown with a bow and arrow, which

corresponds to Sagittarius.

 

In India there was an avatar with the head of a lion. This avatar was born

during the period of Leo.

 

There was also an avatar in India depicted with the lower body of a fish.

This avatar was incarnated during the period of Pisces.

 

By correlating the different symbols depicting the avatars we can correlate

what zodiac age they were incarnated.

 

 

God Realization and the Golden Age

The zenith of the Golden Age will be reached in about 12,500 A.D.,

about 10,494 years from the year 2006 A.D.

 

The entire Golden Age will last up to 17,300 A.D., about 15,294 years from the

year 2006 A.D.

 

The human race has evolved to its present high level that it is possible for

hundreds of thousands or even millions of disciples to achieve soul realization

or even for some, God realization - the level of a Holy Master - within this

period, if the following conditions are met:

 

 

Practice humility.

Give up pride and self-delusion.

Practice loving-kindness.

Give up anger, hatred and vindictiveness.

Practice generosity.

Avoid greed and stealing in its different aspects.

Practice honesty.

Avoid maliciousness and exploiting lies.

Practice moderation.

Avoid excessiveness.

Do not allow yourself to be enslaved by your lower nature.

 

These weaknesses are the downfall of disciples.

 

Disciples all over the world should take advantage of this great opportunity

by reincarnating as frequently as possible.

 

Maintain the purity of the teachings of Arhatic Yoga and practice Arhatic Yoga

diligently.
