Science is one thing, truth is another thing altogether. The age of the Pyramids, for example, is placed by Egyptologists, to be within 5000 B.C., but the truth is that it belongs to a different epoch altogether (previous yuga) - some Egyptologists have put the age of the pyramids at 10,500 B.C. based on water erosion patterns. If the Stone Age is placed around 5000 B.C., how can you set the date for such an advanced structure as the pyramids as being within about 5000 B.C.? The present Kali Yuga is about 5000-6000 years old (the learned in this group, please verify). The truth is that the Mahabharatha took place in Dwapara Yuga (the previous epoch), when Sri Krishna Avatar took place. It is said that the previous Dwapara Yuga ended after massive flooding on this planet (the Great Ones had prophesied that the previous Dwarapa Yuga would be ended by Water, as it was, and have said that the present Kali Yuga would be ended by Fire). Strangely, science has verified that the Ice Age ended (when the whole earth was flooded after the Polar ice caps melted suddenly) about 10,000 B.C - 10,500 B.C. (please note that the statement made here is: Science has verified the truth of the Great Ones, not the other way around - the touchstone is truth, and science is the "gold" being tested out - if it turns out to be fool's gold, science should be discarded). Science has also verified that the Stone Age is around 5000 B.C. - about the age of the present Kali Yuga. Here are adiYen's humble suggestions: 1. To the Egyptologists who believe in the water erosion theory: you are correct about the time at which the water erosion took place (10,500 B.C. or so), but look for planetary positions BEFORE the 12,500 B.C. (or thereabouts) date you have set for the Pyramids - you may have to go back tens of thousands of years, does not matter - that is the true age of the Pyramids. 2. To the "Iyengar" scientist from India who has inferred that the Mahabharatha took place about 1478 B.C.: Learn about Sri Vaishnavism first - what it states with regard to the various epochs and age of the Yugas, Sri Vishnu's Dashavatars, etc.; using that as the touchstone, test your scientific theories; determine when the same planetary positioning mentioned in the Mahabharatha could have taken place - you may have to go back tens of thousands of years; also remember that some novas or supernovas could have taken place from the ancient past to the present - this could explain some of the anomalies. If your theories turn out to be fool's gold, say goodbye to them. 3. To the rest of us: In the "scientific" age of today, we have a tendency to use science as the touchstone for Great Truths - instead, let use the Great Truths as the touchstone for science. adiYen, Ashok Krishnamurthy ------------------------ Yahoo!
