WHAT DO GREAT THINKERS AND INTELLECTUALS OF THE WORLD HAVE TO SAY?

In Charles Berlitz famous book called ‘Doomsday 1999’ there is a collection of knowledge wherein it is said that at the end of 2000AD it full of fearful strange world situations. In it there are prophecies given by mystics and predictions put forth by various leading astrologers and other specialists. In Puranas or Indian Mythology there is a description of Kalki Avatar and Era Transformation? Hence the question is when shall all this take place? Its hint points at present times. There is a particular belief in Buddhist Religion that after 2500 years pass by post the death of Tathagata the darkness of unrighteousness shall engulf the world. In order to overcome it another Buddha in the form of Maitreya shall incarnate in this world. Tibetans firmly believe that the 13th Dalai Lama shall be the final Avatar. After that the world’s form will change so much that it will no longer remain as it is seen today. In fact a transformation shall occur so as to usher in a new world. The final years of 1999 AD have been full of strife and upheavals the world over. From this standpoint the last day of the year 999 was full of suspicion as to what hardships shall manifest in 1000 AD. Right from its 1st day till the end of the entire year which natural calamities shall attack the world? Under the leadership of Pope Sylvester II in Saint Peter Church a very gigantic prayer meeting was arranged. Very eminent personalities of nearby areas took part in it. Everyone prayed collectively saying: O God! You are the omnipotent one. If you so wish, you can destroy all our strife and thus save us all. Such prayer meetings were held that year in other places too. All churches in their own way conducted religious programs on these lines. That time lapsed by and after 1000 years it is the turn of the year 1999. It is believed that the year 2000 too shall be full of upheavals. As an overstatement or in a symbolic form it can be called world annihilation. What this means is that such a transformation shall set in which is extraordinary in comparison to times of past. It is not necessary that natural calamities shall augment and that materials and creatures shall get destroyed on a large scale. The word upheaval over here means a great revolution. Even bloodshed and killings seen during political revolutions cannot be taken as an example here. The results seen after the industrial revolution set in soon after man unearthed power from electricity, steam and oil were simply mind boggling. This economic or scientific revolution not only should not be looked upon as any less in comparison to some gigantic political revolution but that it super cedes it. It is more apt that at the end of 1999 we think of a great transformation ushering into this world. Merely terming natural calamities and divine sports or Lilas of destruction as Pralaya or world annihilation is incorrect. Even if the entire world does not get destroyed yet time and again regional strife raises its hood and it shall do so in future too. Man is quite used to all this. He knows how to heal the wound. As per a prophecy mentioned in the Holy Bible, somewhere around the year 1999 AD Israel shall wage a war with the entire world. Heavy destruction shall be witnessed as a result and after that a new world shall usher in. what this prophecy means that there does not seem to an end emerging regarding the fight between Israel and Arabs. The complexity of the situation is deepening and due to backing of Russia and America there is a danger of a world war setting in. According to renowned astronomers the world’s almanac is of 25817 years. After that intense changes take place and extraordinary transformations are noted in the flow of nature and worldly trends. This state is said to be equivalent to a new world being created. There was a time in the annals of world history when Babylon astrologers were renowned for their scholarliness and credibility. At that time none had questioned this proclamation of theirs and it in fact had become a steadfast belief. Today new space scientists too are assenting to the above belief regarding the world calendar. This can be correlated to the revolutionary cycle of the group of stars. This calculation of 25817 years ends on 17th September 2001. The prophecies of a Jewish prophecy maker Nostradamus 400 years back were true in those times and were proved true much later also. As per his prophecy in July 1999 AD China may set rolling in a world war. Similar hints are found in the predictions of highly intellectual seers right from Edgar to Jean Dixon wherein it appears that that last leg of the 20th century shall be such that wondrous nature oriented upheavals shall occur, mind boggling world events could be witnessed and such changes shall set in man’s daily living which in comparison to the trends seen in the history of modern science extraordinary transformations shall be there for all to see. Astrologers opine that in this hour of Era Transformation so many external signs can appear in nature which in contemporary time could prove to be heinous. Scholars of the field of Humanities opine that the rise in world population seen today is the most dire world problem. In a few years due to lack of control in procreating children hunger, thirst and epidemics shall spread out everywhere and as a result it will not only kill people but that world situations shall be rendered such that even those who survive shall find it difficult to lead lives of comfort. Anatomists say that people’s habits are getting tainted so much that they eat that which should not be devoured, think which should not be thought about and carry out such activities which should not be touched by them even with a barge pole. As a result of this it is rare to find people the world over with healthy minds and sound thinking. The times of weakness and mental agony shall augment so alarmingly that it will be well nigh impossible for medical specialists to avert a widespread downfall. Social scientists tell us that selfishness, hoarding, sense titillation and misuse of things shall definitely destroy the tradition of that mutual love and cooperation between world humans on the basis of which human progress so far was achievable. The way in which discipline goes unheeded, pride in behaving unruly like and lack of control of crime are raising their hoods alarmingly that sacred ideals shall have no place in the institution of world society. In fact people shall attack each other like hungry beasts and shall be forced to commit suicide too. These possible situations have been envisaged by those high intellectuals the world over, whose conclusions have always proved to be credible. Since these world problems loom large, the future seems dark and gloomy. Those people who have the power to take major decisions regarding prevalent world situations are living in an atmosphere of mutual distrust and are not acting in a manner so as to obstruct world destruction and in its place lay the foundation of development on a gigantic scale. Even such leading world personalities appear worried and full of despair. When those who while trying to add 2 feet of rope to another rope find the latter breaking up at other 4 places, they too helplessly stare at utter failure. In this world here and there we can find such seers full of ESP (Extra Sensory Potentials) whose prophecies are known to have been proved 100% true. Those prophecies that so far have come true, tell us that all other prophecies of theirs shall henceforth also come to be true. The prophecies of such high stature seers/visionaries say that the near future of the world indeed is full of hardships. Apart from humanly authored strife natural calamities too shall stare ferociously at us all, the world over. Spiritual seers maintain that entire world society is akin to a single body and its units have to become partners in all joy and sorrow faced by it. People seated in one boat either drown together or reach the other shore safely. If human thinking and character insists on flowing in the stream of taints its undesirable reaction shall help crop up poisonous agitation in the subtle world and thus nature shall shower us with various calamities. It shall render human living chaotic and haywire by manifesting strange types of dangers and natural calamities. It is the prime duty of every world human not to limit himself only to his own gentlemanly character but that he/she must march ahead and help uproot undesirable qualities prevalent in others too. Those who ignore this collective righteousness shall be termed a criminal in the justice courts of world management. Akin to collective tax punishments those who are looked upon as innocents too shall have to endure harassment of varied types. Along with wheat even bran gets pounded and along with dry leaves even wet ones get burnt. Such examples tell us that by ignoring collective righteous duties we are inviting worldwide strife in our day to day living. The sun is directly related to planet earth and its special influence affects the earth’s atmosphere. But this time, even via planet Jupiter extraordinary agitations are being created and there is a high probability of it affecting our earth. Sunspots and radiations sent by Jupiter will manifest 2 fold hardships on earth akin to a leper patient scratching his already rotting skin. By keeping in mind many such causes subtle seers proclaim that the 20 years between 1980 AD and 2000 AD shall be full of mismanagement, agitation and agonizing strife. These conclusions also tell us that the hour of Era Junction (Yuga Sandhi) has arrived. In it, it is natural for us to witness massive world oriented upheavals. Demonic nature while fleeing its den shall fight the battle of life and death. In these very days divinity has to re establish itself the world over. Hence very much akin to the battle between demigods and demons in these days if we witness widespread unrest in the world that leads to a wayward day to day living in the lives of world humanity, it certainly is not unwarranted or unexpected. These days there is widespread discussion regarding comets which is a major undesirable natural principle that appears in the sky. The material scientist J H Urtase has given us his thinking regarding the creation of comets. According to him between Mars and Jupiter a comet cloud is created in the form of a strip of fire which is situated behind the path of revolution of Pluto planet. Since it is disallowed from becoming a planet this region is akin to focused energy storehouse in the form of a mass of absorbed material from a nebula ring. Since it lies far away from the sun, its gas remains collected but as soon as it nears the sun while traveling in space it starts getting vaporized and it gets converted into a gigantic tail. After detailed studies of comets a few scientists are giving us information regarding the complex creation process of the solar system via mud particles and interstellar space gas spanning 50 billion years previously. Regarding reactions of comets varied types of inferences are being put forth. It is generally looked upon as inauspicious. In 1980 AD the famous Halley Comet was seen in the sky. In that very year widespread influenza was seen the world over. Astrologers opined that intense flooding seen in various regions of the world was due to this Halley Comet flying past by earth. In the year 1980 AD astronomers and biologists together have given us some important conclusions. As per their opinion comets shower on planet earth many invisible harmful chemicals and via the medium of wind play the role of spreading serious deadly diseases on earth. They give rise to so many new types of germs that manifest new types of diseases. In recent times in November 1985 Halley Comet traveled past earth very closely. Astronomers say that it shed on the atmospheric layer of the earth a poisonous cloud of venomous gases and dust particles. Its dire result was that in those days terrible diseases and natural calamities ruled the roost in every nook and corner of the globe. In the 20th century on 30th June 1908 when earth traveled on the path of Halley Comet a strange incident occurred. A mass of gigantic debris scattered by Halley Comet got attracted to earth by the latter’s gravitational force and it fell near the central region of Siberia in Russia. Due to its dire influence the 2000 km region near Siberia’s Tungska River was destroyed. From 800 km itself this calamity was witnessed and its terrible sound too was heard. Along with the appearance of comets in space so many historical episodes are conjoined. In the year 66 AD when a comet manifested gigantic natural calamities took over Jerusalem. In the 1066 Hasting battle so many humans were killed and at that time a comet had appeared in the sky. From the possibilities of all such fearful situations manifesting it should not be understood that the end of human civilization is very near. In reality during times of parturition both pain and a new type of management come into being via intense labor. Only after this one gets the experience of the joy of the birth of a new born baby. These 20 years of Era Junction or Yuga Sandhi too must be looked upon thus. In it iron that is rusting or rotting is melted and from this melted iron from which dirt has been removed, a new hope of molding new articles shines forth.
