The World’s History Repeats Itself
The history and geography of the world repeats identically every 5000 years. This teaching is based on spiritual knowledge passed on by the Supreme Soul Shiva in the confluence age. This is but the teachings of the true Gita as taught by Shiva through Brahma. This narrative relates the World’s Eternal Drama and gives the history of the four ages, its peoples, the coming of the religious leaders and the emerging religions. It shares the spiritual and physical history of souls and the growth in population. I am not an authority on other scriptures although I am familiar with them. I will share this teaching without making comparisons unless there are commonalties.
Cycle and the Ages. The world drama is eternal and repeats itself identically every 5000 years. Each cycle has four equal ages consisting of 1250 years each. The ages starting from a major reference point are Golden, Silver, Copper and Iron, and also known in Hindi as Satyug, Treta, Dwapar and Kaliyug. There is a small era of approximately 100 years that overlaps the very end of the iron age and is called the confluence age or Sangam Yug. According to the teachings of Raja Yoga, the overlap is now in progress. The confluence age is very auspicious and will be discussed in much detail and hence the reason a reference point is chosen rather than saying the origin or beginning of the world drama. This conforms to the knowledge that there is no beginning or end and the concept of the eternal world drama.
Purity of the Soul. The new cycle or kalpa begins with the birth of Shri Krishna, the purest and highest among the deities and mankind. He is the first prince of Satyug. This age is characteristic of the highest level of purity of the soul which is 16 Celestial degrees complete or 100 per cent purity. At the end of the Golden age or 1250 years, the Silver age begins. At this time, the level of purity of the soul has declined to 14 Celestial degrees, the soul having lost some purity and accumulated an equal amount of impurity. At the end of the Silver age the degree of purity of the soul is further reduced to 10-12 Celestial degrees. What this means is that after the gold and silver ages or 2500 years, the purity of the soul has been reduced by 4 to 6 Celestial degrees and is now down to about 67 per cent purity. The level of purity continues to decline through the copper age and reaches about 4 to 6 Celestial degrees at the beginning of the iron age. By the end of the iron age, the purity of the soul is somewhere nearing zero Celestial degrees. This says that the soul’s intellect decreases from one of gold at the beginning of the cycle to one of stone at the end of the cycle. The 4 quadrants of the Swastika represent this decline in a clockwise direction as seen in the drama wheel and this is the origin and purpose of the Swastika. It is to be noted that after 3000 years in the cycle, the coming of Jesus the Christ made such a massive impact that the dating was zeroed and hence the BC and AD concept started.
Births, Lifespan, Ages and Population. In the Golden age, the maximum number of births a soul can have is eight. This means that the average lifespan of a person is 150 years. In the Silver age, the maximum number of births possible is 12, giving an average lifespan of 100 years. The maximum number of births are 21 and 42 respectively in the copper and iron ages and the lifespans are reduced drastically as each age is 1250 years. There is one birth in the confluence age making it a total or possible maximum of 84 births in a cycle. The population at the beginning of the Golden age is about 900 thousand and the population at the end of the golden age is approximately 20 million. The population at the end of the Silver age is about 330 million. In 1600 AD, the population was about 500 million, the slow growth resulted from losses due to Noah’s flood at the beginning of the copper age. In 1800 AD it was 1000 million, in 1930AD it was 2000 million, in 1950AD it was 2390 million, in 1966 AD it was 3200 million, in 1980AD it was 4414 million and in 1995 it was about 5550 million. Yes, in the last 100 years the world’s population has more than doubled.
The Confluence Age. The transition period between the iron and golden ages is called the confluence age. In English, the iron age sounds ordinary, normal and routine, but the mention of Kaliyuga, the Hindi translation for the iron age, brings a sense of caution and fear. Kaliyug brings to bear a period in the cycle when irreligiousness and unrighteousness prevailed and where there is great deceit and treachery even from the most trusted. This feeling of mistrust was propagated by the many stories and myths written by those whom we believe to know better and whom we honoured and worshipped. Some of the history got diluted from hand-me down stories in the family heirloom. These were considered as deep secrets. The confluence age is the most elevated and auspicious period in the cycle as it is the period of realization and transformation of ordinary man into deities. This is the period where spirituality is on the rise and the elevated teaching of the Supreme assists man to make effort to conquer the five main vices of anger, greed, ego, lust and attachment. This is no ordinary achievement. This elevated teachings enables one to change from vicious to virtuous, from devilish to divine and impure to pure. In sangam yug, it is said that both man and the elements must change from tamopradhan to satopradhan. It is to change from ordinary man (nar) to an elevated man (Narayan) or deity. For those who receive this realization, they know this era to be the confluence age or as it is written in the Gita, "Purushottam Sangam Yuga", the most auspicious age. For others, it is still the iron age or Kaliyuga.
Confluence Age and Festivals. All the major Hindu religious festivals have their origin in the confluence age and their roots are the embodiment of spirituality. The first, Shivratri is the incarnation of the Supreme Soul Shiva into Brahma. Here Shiva is the name of God and "ratri" means night. Night here means the dark ages of copper and iron where irreligiousness prevailed and unrighteousness was propagated by the vices of anger, greed, ego, lust and attachment. These five vices are known as, maya, evil, satan or Rawan. Shiva teaches gyan (knowledge), yoga (remembrance), dharna (inculcation) and seva (service) through Brahma, hence the creation of Brahmins, mouth-born progenies of Brahma. This is the reason that Brahma is unmistakably referred to as the Creator, but it is Shiva who creates Brahmins through the mouth of Brahma. This teaching of Shiva is really the knowledge as written in the Gita. Yes, the Gita was spoken by Shiva through Brahma in the confluence age, but it was written in the beginning of the copper age some 2500 years later by Gita Vyas. It is for this reason that the next festival is celebrated as Gita Jayanti. Saraswati, the adopted daughter of Brahma, imbibed this teaching and assisted Brahma in the establishment of the new world order and the destruction of the old kaliyugi world. For this Saraswati Jayanti is quietly celebrated next and preceding Holi. In fact, Holi is the celebration of purity and Holika represents the burning of the vices and this old Kaliyugi world. The next festival is Nau Ratum and this signifies the Shakti Power of Durga in her nine forms. This is the true meaning of "Shiv Shakti" as it represents the combined form of purity and divinity, taking the energy and sustenance from the Supreme Soul Shiva, to destroy the demon forces of evil. This is the reason Saraswati is shown riding a lion and Durga a tiger. Symbolically, they have tamed the ferocity of the animals to their original peaceful nature. Then Raksha Bandhan is to take a vow of purity with Shiva, demonstrating complete purity. At this stage, these confluence age festivals represents the purification of all souls as well as the elements. Here the stage is set for the re-creation and establishment of the new world and Dashera is then celebrated signifying the conquest of the ten vices, five male and five female. The new world is then ready for the birth of the first Prince of Satyug, Shri Krishna, and this is celebrated as Krishen Janamastami. Radha is born a few years later as the first Princess of Satyug. Divali is then celebrated as the coronation of Lakshmi and Narayan as the first Empress and Emperor of Satyug and this event marks the official beginning the golden age as 01-01-01, meaning the first day of the first month of the first year of the golden age. This is about 25 years from the start of the new cycle. This is the reason Divali is celebrated as the beginning of a new year. It is to be noted that the childhood days of Lakshmi and Narayan is that of Radha and Krishna. In reality, Saraswati and Brahma, Radha and Krishna are but the same souls, but in successive births. In married form, Radha and Krishna becomes Lakshmi and Narayan. Looking at it in terms of births, Radha and Krishna have their first births in Satyug and their eighty-fourth birth in Kaliyug as Saraswati and Brahma. Vishnu and Mahalakshmi each represent the dual form of Lakshmi and Narayan. The month of Kartic is the most auspicious because it represents transformation, newness, re-creation and change from the old to the new. Kartic means to wash away the vices by bathing with the knowledge of the Gita for purification and it is only symbolic that you bathe with the water of the Ganges.
Births and Ages. The Golden age represents the Sun Dynasty also called Suryavanshi. Here, because the maximum possible number of births is eight, there are eight successive dynasties ruled by Lakshmi and Narayan "the First" through "the Eighth". Then the cycle enters the Moon Dynasty or Chandravanshi. Here the rule is now handed down to Ram and Sita " the First to the Twelfth". They rule through the twelve kingdoms as there is a maximum of twelve births in the silver age. Note here, the subtle title change from Emperors and Empresses to Kings and Queens and Dynasties to Kingdoms. But even more subtly is the change from the female name as the lead to the second position as in "Radha and Krishna" and "Lakshmi and Narayan "to that of "Ram and Sita". This emphasizes the decline in the level of purity with titles. Then enters the copper age when Abraham started his rule introducing spiritual law and order. This introduction subtly points out that immorality was in the increase and purity was on the decrease. The deities were changing from being viceless and were now becoming more vicious in successive births as the cycle progressed.
Major Religions of the Cycle. The first religion in the cycle is the Original Ancient Deity Religion known as the "Adi Sanatan Devi Devata Dharma". This religion had it seed in the Supreme Soul Shiva and its roots in the Brahmin Clan that was created by Shiva through Brahma. In fact the sun and moon dynasties had one religion in the deity religion, one language in "Pure Hindi", one dynasty or one government with no ministers, no advisors and no opposition, and one people. Governance was the combined form of Spirituality and Administration. Everything was pure or satopradhan and everything was in abundance. This period was known as Paradise, Heaven, the Land of Jeevanmukti, Satyug or Ram Rajya. These two ages of gold and silver are known as the Kingdom of Rama. The two ages of copper and iron are known as the Kingdom of Rawan, Hell or Rawan Rajya. At the end of the silver age and the beginning of the copper age, the vices first entered the cycle. Yes, "Heaven and Hell" are the two halves of the Kalpa and exists right here on earth. It is at beginning of the copper age the other religions emerged. There are four main religions that emerged and it is from these thousands others sprang up. The four main religions in order of appearance are the Hindus, the Buddhists, the Christians and the Moslems. All others are some derivative in the main four. The Hindus had its roots in the Deity religion, whereas the Christians and Moslems had their roots in Abraham and stricter demarcation on these were placed by Jesus the Christ and Prophet Mohammed. It is in the beginning of the copper age that the path of devotion(Bhakti) started. Bhakti is known as the Night of Brahma, whereas knowledge is the Day of Brahma. Disinterest or Viragya existed in the confluence age. Today, there are literally thousands of branches of other religions that have emerged from the main four tubes and the original ancient Deity religion is completely forgotten and unheard off.
Spiritual and Physical Entropy. Entropy is the natural process where orderly things become disorderly, if not maintained or sustained. Even when transforming energy from one form into another, some is not converted because of inefficiency and this energy is considered waste or pollution. The entire physical environment has degenerated and is now impure because of both entropy and man’s greed. The physical world is undergoing massive changes because of the effects of the hole in the ozone layer, potential global warming, forest devastation, infertile soil, and pollution of the air, sea and land. This is physical entropy. Similarly the soul has become very impure because of the vices and this is called spiritual entropy or degradation of the soul. At this time in the cycle, both the environment and the soul are lame, degraded and impure and neither can help each other. It is at this time that the Supreme incarnates and in an incognito way silently and secretly destroys the vices with the help of his children who have gotten the realization. Nature reacts in catastrophic and cataclysmic ways to rejuvenate the environment through natural calamities, earthquakes, plagues and most of all being uncooperative in the service to man. The events describes fully Armageddon (Rev 16:16) also called the Mahabharat war. The knowledge of the Gita is the incognito and subtle way to destroy Rawan, whereas the Mahabharat war is the physical way to destroy Rawan and it is the essence of Holika. The Mahabharat war is the gateway to the land of liberation(mukti) and the life of liberation(jeevanmukti), the golden age. This is the dawn of the golden age, the start of a new cycle.
Purification of the soul. There are two ways to cleanse the soul. One is to make effort by living a life of purity in thoughts, words and actions through the pilgrimage of remembrance of the Father. That is to perform "kartic snaan" with the knowledge of the Gita and inspire the Mahabharat war which is the war of the vices and virtues. The other is to face the wrath of "Judgment Day" or " Dharamraj" at the end of the cycle. All souls must be purified before returning to Soul’s World or Paramdham, the abode of all souls as well as the Supreme Soul. The souls are seated numberwise in soul’s world or Paramdham according to their level of purity and effort made before purification. This is called the Souls Tree. The souls then come down numberwise to play their part on earth and can take a maximum of 84 births depending on the time in the cycle they make their first entry. This is called the Tree of Human Beings or The Kalpa Tree. There are approximately 5.5 billion souls.
Conclusion. The Eternal World Drama is cyclical and repeats itself identically every 5000 years. After the rule of Lakshmi and Narayan and Ram and Sita in the Golden and Silver ages that lasts 2500 years, Abraham, Buddha, Christ and Mohammed and Shankaracharya will return with their following and the cycle will continue to repeat itself identically, as we know from the time of Abraham. We are nearing the end of this cycle. Nostradamus together with many others have predicted the coming of the new age within the next generation. Christ will return approximately 3000 years from now and Mohammed about 500 years after Christ. The geography of the world makes two major changes in the cycle. The original world was one continuous land mass named Bharat and with the cataclysmic events that culminated in Noah’s flood, the geography changed to what we know today as the five continents with the respective oceans, seas and rivers. The second change is with Armageddon or the mahabharat war and the return of pure Bharat as one landmass. So the geography repeats itself and as the immortal saying goes " History Repeats Itself"
