Quoting: |jai@mantra.com (Jai Maharaj)
|...I present this
|translation from Sanskrit. The original can be found at the Indira
|Gandhi Center in New Delhi among millions of other manuscripts.
|This particular piece dates back to about 3,500 BCE by modern
|dating methods and refers to the Kalyug (one of four ages) we are
|presently in. The Kalyug began 5,094 years ago and is 432,000
|years long. Therefore, 426,906 years remain. Then, after a period
|of twilight, the next era, Krtyug begins. Kalyug summary follows:
| """""""
This is very interesting. I would like to know if there are other
estimates in relation to the Kali Yuga, since I wish to orient my
dating schema toward my devotional focus. ;> If you have any idea
about alternative estimates about when the Kali Yuga began and how
many years have passed since that beginning, please post them in
response and email me a copy of that post. I'll be out of town for
the next week or so, and would thus appreciate a copy of your post.
|-- All rulers occupying the Earth in the Kalyug will be wanting in
| tranquility, strong in anger, taking pleasure at all times in
| lying and dishonesty, inflicting death on women, children and
| animals, prone to take the paltry possessions of others, with
| character that is mostly Tamas, rising to power and soon
| falling.
As I understand it, the 'tamasic' element is the most heavy, earthy
element of this system and it makes much sense to me that it would
be the key element in the Kali Yuga.
|-- They will be short-lived, ambitious, of little virtue and
| greedy.
|-- People will follow the customs of others and be adulterated
| with them; peculiar, undisciplined barbarians will be
| vigorously supported by the rulers. Because they go on living
| with perversion, they will be ruined.
|-- The destruction of the world will occur because of profit and
| the departure from virtue, little by little, day by day.
|-- Money alone will confer nobility.
|-- Power will be the sole definition of virtue.
|-- Pleasure will be the only reason for marriage.
|-- Lust will be the only reason for womanhood.
|-- Falsehood will win out in disputes.
|-- Being dry of water will be the only definition of land.
|-- Clothes and ornaments alone will distinguish holy persons.
|-- Praiseworthiness will be measured by accumulated wealth.
|-- Wearing a talisman will be sufficient cause for religious
| retreat.
|-- Impropriety will be considered good conduct, and only
| feebleness will be the reason for unemployment.
|-- Boldness and arrogance will become equivalent to scholarship.
|-- Only those without wealth will show honesty. Just a bath will
| amount to purification, and charity will be the only virtue.
|-- Abduction will be marriage.
|-- Simply to be well-dressed will signify propriety.
|-- And any water hard to reach will be deemed a pilgrimage site.
|-- The pretense of greatness will be the proof of it, and powerful
| men with many severe faults will rule over all the classes on
| Earth.
|-- Oppressed by their excessively greedy rulers, people will hide
| in valleys between mountains where they will gather honey,
| vegetables, roots, fruits, flowers and so forth.
The previous notes were expected. This last is very interesting.
|-- Suffering from cold, wind, heat and rain, they will put on
| clothes made of tree-bark and leaves. And no one will live as
| long as twenty-three years.
23 years, hm? Shades of Greyface!
|-- Thus in the Kalyug humankind will be utterly destroyed.
Yes, isn't it exciting?! I am told that this is to be followed by
a period of almost pure nothingness, succeeded by a reCreation.
Which god does that recreating is dependent upon whom you ask, of
course. Vaisnavites may tell you it is Visnu, perhaps Brahma.
Some who worship Kali-ma may tell you it is Kali.
