Cosmic cycles of the Vedas: Dawn of a new Golden Age
Показать описание
In the previous video, we studied about the cycles of four eras explained in the Vedas, as well as the progression of events in Kali-yuga, the age we live in. Kali-yuga lasts for 432,000 years from which only 5,121 years have passed. In other words, there’s still a long way to go.
By studying recent history, we can see that Kali-yuga is not a very bright period for humanity, with constant wars, privation and examples of inhuman cruelty. According to the Vedas, all of this happens as a predicted cosmic cycle of events, which is connected with the spiritual level of the souls allowed to take birth in our planet in each part of the cycle.
Being part of the intermediary planetary system, our planet is a place where souls from all over the cosmos come to perform activities, make their choices and thus create a new set of karma that is going to determine their future destinations. In this sense we can imagine our planet as an universal airport, where people can decide where to go next.
Souls take birth at one of the four ages according to their previous karma and their level of consciousness. In Satya-yuga, only highly elevated souls can take birth on this planet and therefore the spiritual level is quite high. The entrance barrier is progressively lower on Treta and Dwapara Yuga, and thus the spiritual level of the society is similarly lesser. In Kali-yuga there is practically no entrance barrier, and therefore we have all kinds of problems.
Since our situation in this age is so complicated, there is also great opportunity for spiritual advancement through the process of bhakti-yoga and especially through the performance of sankirtana. By chanting mantras, one has the opportunity of directly connecting himself to the spiritual energy, and thus make quick advancement. What would take thousands of years of practice of Ashtanga-yoga in Satya-yuga to achieve can be quickly obtained in our age. This opportunity makes this era actually quite fortunate, to the extent that beings from higher planetary systems desire to take birth in our planet during this age.
Is exactly this possibility of quick spiritual progression, combined with the presence of souls coming from higher realms that leads to the predictions of a Golden Age in the midst of our modern age, a glimmer of hope for the ones that are not interested in experiencing the rigors of the later stages of this age.
This combination of people from this age that attain enlightenment through spiritual practice and elevated souls from previous eras and higher planetary systems has the potential to gradually turn the tide of materialism, leading to a revival of spiritual values, combined with growing material prosperity. This is a trend that tends to continue for some time as the Golden Age takes hold, a global spiritual awakening that can lead to a very fortunate period.
This process of gradual spiritual growth will continue until most of humanity will become spiritually advanced. The progression may not be linear, there may be periods with difficulties or even a few global catastrophes, but the general tendency during this period will be of improvement. As these fortunate souls conclude their spiritual advancement and move towards the transcendental realm or the higher planetary systems, the percentage of the population not interested in spiritual cultivation will again gradually increase, leading to a descending period.
Again, people will gradually become materialistic and hedonistic, and humanity will slowly degrade, both culturally and spiritually. People will become angry and cruel, and life will again become difficult and full of anxieties. As the last advanced souls leave the planet, the stage will set for the remaining 417,000 years of Kali-Yuga, which will not be a very good period to be born into.
However, instead of being concerned about the dark times ahead, the best for us is to dedicate our time for cultivating self-realization now. These events of Kali-yuga take place because many adopt a selfish and exploitative nature, polluting and exploiting the natural resources, as well as fellow human beings, and thus eventually have to face the karmic consequences. By following a different path, we become eligible for taking our next birth in higher planetary systems, creating a much brighter future for ourselves. Part of it is to also enlighten others, so they can also make better choices.
