Kali Yuga____________________?

ok, some background so you can know what we're talking about.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Four_Yugas
and
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Eight_Yugas

there seems to be quite a bit of a muddle about how long the kali yuga lasts, and i have seen the wikipedia pages change even in the past few months on this topic. it looks far rosier at the moment than it did previously.


one part really grabbed my attention this time round reading...

i've seen this. little oranges in oranges, little peppers in peppers... and a three headed daffodil! and talk about all that unseasonable weather!

so, if the above statement is true, then "the length of Kali Yuga is 432,000 years, of which 4994 have (in 1894 CE) passed away, leaving 427,006 years still remaining" may be quite innaccurate and instead, "The Holy Science includes his astronomical explanation for a shorter Yuga Cycle, in which Kali Yuga lasts only 2,400 years (1,200x2, one descending Kali Yuga cycle, followed by an ascending cycle)" could look to be somewhat closer to the mark.

and it's not so far off suggestions from non hindu related religions that have trans temporal cosmologies, like mayan and jain. jains say we will be entering a golden age sometime around 2012, and the mayan calendar is to click over on one of their long cycles, which when correlated with some of the less appocalyptic musings of terrence McKenna where he rather optimistically claims he doesnt know what it is, but that it shares the same energy signature as the birth of the universe... all sounds quite cheery to me. not only terrence mckenna has offered new views of how time is percieved, but also, cant recall the name or the site at the moment, but it's been said that time is accelerating (or decelerating depending on how you want to view it) so that when someone could have said a million years several thousand years ago, it only means months, weeks or days in the times we live in, given how much thing happen, how much things are achieved, its not such an extreme concept to behold. its just that we have the steady measures of time dictated to us by first the transits of planets, then our mechanical and atomic clocks, that prevents us our natural time awareness to go with the flow of this time condensing.


anyone else getting in the satya mindset, to, like ghandi said "you must be the change you want to see in the world", to usher in this golden new era?


satya yuga!
