Hindusim is loosely based on them, buy you're conflating the two. At the same time, no one is asking you to think one way or the other. No one is knocking on your door, or threatening violence against you for your beliefs. There also isn't anything "New Age" about this.

Another strange phenomenon of the Kali Yuga is the externalization of faith to such an extreme that people became obsessed and crazed with their individual belief systems.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 77888866 ![]() 09/20/2020 04:28 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | the modern astronomical calculation of one full precession of the equinox, takes 25,772 years. According to the Laws of Manu, one of the earliest known texts describing the yugas, the lengths are approximately 4800 years + 3600 years + 2400 years + 1200 years, for a total of 12,000 years for one arc, or 24,000 years to complete the cycle, which is approximately one precession of the equinox. These 4 yugas follow a timeline ratio of (4:3:2:1). If we follow the chart of the saptarishis, that also indicates the same as mentioned in the article with a 300 yr transitional period in between every yuga. Swami Sri Yukteswar, Yogananda's guru, among others, have disputed about what is said in the Srimad Bhagavatam saying that it is a miscalculation by the people who deciphered it and said that we are living in "Dwapara Yuga" as per the Vedas. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78198515 From the Sanskrit texts the Vishnu Purana and the Linga Purana: * Thieves will become kings, and kings will be the thieves. * Rulers will confiscate property and use it badly. They will cease to protect the people. * Base men who have gained a certain amount of learning (without having the virtues necessary for its use) will be esteemed as sages. * There will be many displaced persons, wandering from one country to another. * Predatory animals will be more violent. * Fetuses will be killed in the wombs of their mothers. * People will prefer to choose false ideas. * No one will be able to trust anyone else. * People will be envious. * There will be many children born whose life expectancy is no more than 16 years. * People suffering from hunger and fear will take refuge in underground shelters. * Young girls will do trade in their virginity. * The god of clouds will be inconsistent in the distribution of the rains. * Shopkeepers will run dishonest businesses. * There will be many beggars and unemployed people. * Everyone will use hard and vulgar language. * Men will devote themselves to earning money; the richest will hold power. * The state leaders will no longer protect the people but, through taxes, will appropriate all wealth. * Water will be lacking. * Pre-cooked food will be readily available!

I'm not sure how anyone, in this day and age where we all have easy access to ancient religious/philosophical scripture, can't plainly see that all religions are ultimately talking about the same thing. This reads exactly like any end times Biblical scripture. What are the Mleohhas, though? |
