Hi Tim

Hi Pen;

From the first moment you told me about this Hindu concept, I knew there was truth to it. I also knew it had some sort of flaw, but I could not determine what it might be. Don't ask me how, because I can't say. It's one of those things you instinctively know for some reason.

Well, it came to me earlier today. And this may be due to a piece of knowledge the Hindus lacked. Lacked in the same way that the armies of Rama showed up on Elephants when it was nuked. We are no longer in the Iron Age. We are living in the Atomic Age. Apparently not having knowledge of the atom burned them twice.

But were they the only ones to get burned? There is obvious truth to this concept, because the downward spiral is far too apparent. So what would an additional age mean under this context? I don't care to think of ................ the obvious one, because I don't care for the sound of that. You are more the resident expert here than I. What do you see as the natural ramifications of such a smooth transition to the dawn of a new age under those guidelines the Hindus laid out? Are we really doomed to live out an entire age without love or virtue? Is this part of the reason why Jesus will have to come back on a rescue mission? What is the reality of this truth once you insert the missing piece (age). Is this something that was hidden from the Hindus because it had to be kept secret? Do you have any ideas here? At this point I'm all ears. Anything we can bounce back and forth off each other? I think we should give it a try at the very least.


I would not call myself an expert on anything.... I am the same as everyone else.  All I can do is share my experiences, what I have learnt, and what I pick up intuitively, and I also learn from others views and experiences.

I read that there maybe a flaw in timing of these cycles, as to when the Kali-Yuga cycle started and that will bring into question as to when it will end.  I believe that each different philosophy or religious teaching offers us a part of the whole...  If we look at it from any particular point of view trying to make what we believe fit, we may not be able to figure it out.  One has to have an open mind and put aside our views.  I am no scholar on these subjects, but I knew as soon as I read what people will be like in the time of the Kali-Yuga I knew we were living in it, without a doubt.  There may be smaller cycles within each Yuga I don't know. C2b2618267b8ab6ef60ab51314395d58f68ea2bc_s I do know that when I draw up charts on peoples names and birth dates, nothing is cut and dry.... there has to be synchrony in reading each meaning in coordination with other numbers and cycles in a person's lifetime...  In each persons life there are smaller cycles within a larger cycles, and I believe the universe is like that too but on a much vaster scale than a human life.

Hindus believe that sometimes a god will appear on the earth in living form.

Such an appearance is called an avatar. Perhaps the best English translation of avatar is 'incarnation', however avatar also conveys the belief that God has the ability to take any form and will descend to earth at times when there has been a decline in goodness, and evil is influencing human actions.


  • For whenever the law of righteousness (dharma)
  • Withers away, and lawlessness (adharma) raises its head,
  • Then do I generate myself on earth
  • For the protection of the good,
  • For the destruction of evildoers
  • For the setting up of righteousness
  • I come into being, age after age.

Bhagavad Gita, 4: 7 - 8
