28,000 rivers wiped off the map of China<\/a><\/h2>\n

The Australian – EMILY FORD – Mar 30, 2013<\/p>\n

ABOUT 28,000 rivers have disappeared from China’s state maps, an absence seized upon by environmentalists as evidence of the irreversible natural cost of developmental excesses.<\/p>\n

More than half of the rivers previously thought to exist in China appear to be missing, according to the 800,000 surveyors who compiled the first national water census, leaving Beijing fumbling to explain the cause. Go to story<\/a><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Age of Quarrel<\/a><\/div>\n
What follows are predictions for the age of Kali (quarrel) as found in the Vedic scriptures written many thousands of years ago. Kali-yuga (the age of quarrel) started 5,000 years ago (3,102 B.C.) and is scheduled to last a total of 432,000 years, leaving 427,000 years to go. more<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

excerpt from lecture on \u015ar\u012bmad-Bh\u0101gavatam<\/em> Canto 1, Chapter 5, Text 11, London, September 12, 1973<\/a>:<\/p>\n

In the \u015ar\u012bmad-Bh\u0101gavatam<\/em>, there is a description of the age of Kali. This is age of Kali. According to Vedic understanding, there are four ages: Satya-yuga, Dv\u0101para-yuga, Tret\u0101-yuga, and Kali-yuga. This age is called Kali-yuga. It has begun about five thousand years ago, after the battle of Kuruk\u1e63etra. The duration of this Kali-yuga is estimated four hundred thousand…, four hundred and twenty-seven thousands of years. Out of that, we have passed only five thousand years.<\/p>\n

So the symptom of the human being in this age is that pr\u0101ye\u1e47\u0101lp\u0101yu\u1e63a:<\/em> people will become very short duration of life. It is said that time… at the end of Kali-yuga, if somebody lives for twenty to thirty years, he will be considered as very old man. So gradually the food grains like rice, wheat, milk, and sugar will disappear. In this way, in the Kali-yuga, pr\u0101ye\u1e47\u0101lp\u0101yu\u1e63a\u1e25 sabhya kal\u0101v asmin yuge jan\u0101\u1e25<\/em>. In this age, people will be of short duration of life; manda<\/em>, very slow; sumanda-mataya\u1e25<\/em>, accepting some rubbish theology. Mand\u0101\u1e25 sumanda-matayo manda-bh\u0101gy\u0101\u1e25<\/em> [SB 1.1.10], almost all of them are unfortunate. Manda-bh\u0101gy\u0101 hy upadrut\u0101\u1e25:<\/em> over and above that, they will be disturbed, especially by lack of rain, scarcity of food grains, and overtaxed by the government, so much so that people will give up their hearth and home and go to the forest and hills in disappointment and confusion. So these are the symptoms of Kali-yuga, gradually degrading.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
