. . . Hindu
cosmology. According to Vedic reckoning we are now in
Kali Yuga, an unspiritual age of ignorance, sin, and short lifespans.
The other three ages are: Satya
Yuga (Age of Wisdom and Truth), the Treta Yuga (Silver Age), and the
Dwapara Yuga (Copper Age). Each has ascending and descending segments.
By the reckoning of the saint Sri Yukteswar we are deep
into
the descending half of the Kali Yuga, but with still hundreds of years
to go before reaching bottom.
Other less fortunate projections by earlier scholars
place thousands of years of decline still ahead of us. But
some contemporary research gives us cause for optimism. A scholarly
analysis by John Major-Jenkins places us right now at the nadir of Kali Yuga, soon to turn back up in
the
ascending phase (see link below). If
this is true we will be technically within the new 12,000-year
ascending cycle in our
lifetimes. The ascending Kali
Yuga should bring a gradual
reversal of social decay
and chaos. (This more
optimistic reckoning happens to correlate with many prophecies of major
world change
pegged to the year 2012.) Links

SACRED
WORD TRUST
From
"Kali
Yuga,
Rites of Passage and Modern Science" by Octavian Sarbatoare
The Mahanirvana Tantra extensively
describes particularities of the Kali Age . . . as presented by Lord Shiva
Himself to his wife Parvati.
"O Sovereign Mistress of
Kaula doctrine! When the Heavenly Stream (i.e. the Ganges river) is at
some places broken and at others diverted from its course, then know
that the Kali Age has become strong. ... When women become difficult of
control, heartless and quarrelsome, and calumniators of their husbands,
then know that the Kali Age has become strong. When men become subject
to women and slaves of lust, oppressors of their friends and Teachers,
then know that the Kali Age has become strong. When the fertility of
the earth has gone and yields a poor harvest, when the clouds yield
scanty rain, and trees give poor fruit, then know that the Kali Age has
become strong. When brothers, kinsmen, and companions, prompted by the
desire to obtain things of small value, will strike one another, then
know that the Kali Age has become strong. When the open partaking of
flesh and liquor will pass without condemnation and punishment, when
the secret drinking will prevail, then know that the Kali Age has
become strong."
(Avalon, 1972, p. 52; Ch. IV, 49-55).

In
the Kali Yuga
people forget the eternal teachings about sexual morality. They lose
sexual restraint and become unable to meditate well and realize the
Transcendental. You can help bring the Golden age back by practicing
ordinary dharmic sexual restraint and morality, or even celibacy. Learn
