Golden
Age to begin in 2012
Mayan Calendar Corroborates Hindu Prophecy
In
the “Brahma-Vaivarta Purana”,
Lord Krishna tells Ganga Devi that a Golden
Age will come in the Kali Yuga - one of the
four stages of development that the world goes
through as part of the cycle of eras, as described
in Hindu scriptures. Lord Krishna predicted
that this Golden Age will start 5,000 years
after the beginning of the Kali Yuga, and will
last for 10,000 years.

It is interesting that this prediction of
the emergence of a new world is prophesied
to appear
about the same time that the Mayans predicted
it to come! The Mayan calendar began with
the Fifth Great Cycle in 3114 BC and will
end on
21 December 2012 AD. The Hindu Kali Yuga
calendar began on 18 February 3102 B.C. There
is only
a difference of 12 years between the Hindu's
beginning of the Kali Yuga and the Mayan's
beginning of the Fifth Great Cycle.
Golden Age Could Begin in 2012
The ancient Hindus 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. This
is the same year that the Mayans predict rebirth of our planet. It is also
about 5113 solar years of 365.24 days per year, and 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!

It is amazing that both calendars began at about the same time over 5,000 years
ago and both calendars predict a totally new world and/or golden age after
about 5,000 years into their calendars! We are definitely on to something with
these Mayan and Hindu 2012 predictions. Historically, this is an amazing fact
since these two ancient cultures did not have any contact.
The
Bhagvad Gita is an epic book, not just because
it's a great treatise on God's speech with
a Man, but also because it holds the substance
of truth for the current generation. For some,
it's a "fortune telling" book.
The scripture has clearly defined the state
of human morality and actions (karma) with
time. There are four stages of time, and each
stage sees degradation of human morality. The
appalling injustice and shocking news you see
and hear every day was predicted in this more
than 5000 year old book. According to the book,
we are now living in an age called "Kali
Yuga", and its characteristics are described
as:
Towards the end of this Yuga, Kalki will come
riding on a white horse to battle Kali and his
dark forces. The world would suffer a fiery end
where all evil will perish. And in turn will
start a new age, the age of Satya Yuga.
When flowers will be begot within flowers, and
fruits within fruits, then will the Yuga comes
to an end. And the clouds will pour rain unseasonably
when the end of the Yuga approaches.
