The date February 21st, 2013 is very significant and it closely
corresponds with the date of December 21st, 2012,
which the ancient
Maya believed to be the Earth's final day. Although separated by two
months, these two dates probably
point to the same momentous and
epochal event. The Maya claimed that this future end-time could
include a catastrophic
magnetic pole reversal of the planet Earth, a
solar shift, a Venus transit and mounting earthquakes, among other
catastrophes.
On the other hand, other experts claim that the Mayans
might not have claimed that the year 2012 would necessarily be
the "end of days," but perhaps just the end of an age. Many cycles
are said to begin on that same date. The belief
is that Mother Earth
as a living entity will transcend to another level or frequency or
consciousness and a new and
special era will begin. The preparation
for this new age is now in the womb of the Mother Earth, so to
speak, and
the process of change is bringing transcendental
manifestations, which as Sahaja Yogis we can all bear witness.
The
Mayan calendar is recognized as the world's most accurate
calendar, more so than the Gregorian system in use today. Its
accuracy is said to be such that the Mayan calendar will need to be
adjusted by only one day in 380,000 years. From
astronomical
observations measuring the precession of the equinoxes and
solstices, the ancient Mayan or pre-Maya determined
the date of
December 21st, 2012, as the end of their Long Count Calendar, the
end of time. This end-date of the Long
Count Calendar in 2012, this
precession of the equinoxes indeed pinpoints a rare alignment in a
vast cycle of time.
On December 21st, 2012, the galactic equator,
the mid-point of our galaxy, will cross the ecliptic path of the
sun,
creating a rare conjunction of the winter solstice.
A new precessional cycle is a very significant event indeed. It
happens only once every 25,800 years. The classical Maya who
apparently were masters of large cycles of time, believed
that a
precessional cycle marked a specific time of spiritual evolution.
Thus, a new cycle of spiritual evolution
is now beginning as marked
by their 2012 calendar end-point. Also, this is the date on which
the earth will pass over
from Pisces and the new Age of Aquarius
will truly begin; in Sahaj terminology this date will herald the
start of
Satya Yuga. Below is a passage showing how the onset of
Satya Yuga is described in the Devi Bhagavatam. Note that when
Satya
Yuga is truly established, in the words of the Devi
Bhagavatam, "...and all will meditate on the Devî." Can
anybody
doubt that eventual victory will belong to the Divine Mother?
"O Nârada! Thus, when the Kali will have
its full play, the whole
world will be filled with Mlechchas, the trees will be one hand high
and the men will be
of the size of a thumb. Then the most powerful
Bhagavân Nârâyana will incarnate in His part in the house of a
Brâhmin
named Visnujas'â as his son. Mounted on a long horse,
holding a long sword He will make the world free of the Mlechchas
in
three nights. Then he will disappear from the face of the Earth and
She will be without any sovereign and be filled
with robbers. There
will be incessant rain, for six nights and it will rain and rain and
the whole earth will be deluged;
no traces of men, houses, and
trees. After this the Twelve Suns will rise simultaneously and by
their rays the whole
water will be dried up and the earth will
become level. Thus the dreadful Kali will pass away when the Satya
Yuga
will come back, Tapasyâ and the true religion and Sattva Guna
will prevail again. The Brâhmins will practise Tapasyâ,
they will be
devoted to Dharma and the Vedas. The women will be chaste and
religious in every house. Again the wise
and intelligent Ksattriyas
devoted to the Brâhmanas will occupy the royal thrones and their
might, devotion to Dharma
and love for good deeds will increase. The
Vais'yas will again go on with their trades and their devotion to
their
trade and the Brâhmins will be reestablished. The S'ûdras,
too, will be again virtuous, and serve the Brâhmins. Again
the
Brâhmins, Ksattriyas, and Vais'yas and their families will have
Bhakti towards the Devî, be initiated in Devî
Mantras and all will
meditate on the Devî." (Book 9, Chapter
www.sacred-texts.com/hin/db/bk09ch08.htm The above passage also makes an apparent reference to the
Tribulation as believed by the fundamentalist Christians
when it
states, allegorically, that, "There will be incessant rain, for six
nights and it will rain and rain and the
whole earth will be
deluged; no traces of men, houses, and trees. After this the Twelve
Suns will rise simultaneously
and by their rays the whole water will
be dried up and the earth will become level. Thus the dreadful Kali
will pass
away when the Satya Yuga will come back..." If the
beginning of 2013 is taken to be the start of Satya Yuga or the
return
of Christ as Kalki, then the seven-year Tribulation could be
starting very soon.
So in just a little over seven
years from now, to borrow from a
famous speech, mankind will have its tryst with destiny and then at
the stroke of
the midnight hour, while the rest of the world sleeps
(both literally and metaphorically), the realized souls of the world
will awaken to a new world, the new age of enlightenment, the Satya
Yuga! But on the other hand, if we do not live
up to our
responsibilities over the next seven years and if there is no or
insufficient spiritual transformation and
awakening in mankind, then
we could all wake up to the nightmare of Tandava! the Dance of
Sadashiva. The ancient Mayans
have foreseen the possible outcomes.
It is all up to us now as the rest of mankind nonchalantly lays,
unaware, teetering
on the brink.
