Looking Back the Year that was 2019

The Year 2019 AD is marked by nature's fury like, floods, forest fires and bush fiers, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes and some parts of the land sinking and totally disappearing in sea in addition to lack of drinking water, refugee influxes, large scale migrants, etc. Global warming, melting of glaciers, and erratic monsoons have added to the human misery. May be, the Third World War is imminent! Much worse people came into streets in almost 180 countries of the world protesting against the Governments and bombings in Syria, Mogadishu, etc are not to be mentioned? What has gone wrong with the world?

  Yes. Everything has gone wrong with the world because of total degeneration. People have lost their sense of human existence and become more and more inhuman in their day to day life. Somebody aptly said, "I hate these humans. I love humanity". Human evolution is not progressing from Australopithecus, pekinenses, javanus, and other state of homo sapiens to more human and divine consciousness. The problem is not the humans, as such! It is the warning!

  This is the last quarter, called Kali yuga of the 7th manvantara, called Vaivasvata manvantara. This is coming to a close leading to the next Savarni manvantara, sooner or later. The first quarter of the Kaliyuga is coming to a close! The Kali yuga will end disastrously, just like the six manvantaras and their 27 yugas, so far! Thus we are at the end of the manvantara! Those who abide by dharma, take to spiritual path will become the seed for the next manvantara! Rest all will perish. The Bhagavad-Gita and most of the puranas, particularly the Vishnu Purana, Padma Purana, the Shiva purana make these points clear.

  So far, so good! Not much damage has been done in the Bharata varsha. the influx of the Western religious cults have done some damage to the great Hindu spiritual pursuits of the saints and sadhus! This is the yoga bhumi and people have forgotten their roots and are aping the Western culture to their own peril. Who cares? Why bother is the attitude. let the world perish. But save your soul!
   However, there is a cliche here as to what exactly is 'time'! In the strict sense of the term, there is no such thing as 'Time'. "Time is an illusion"! It is the ingenuity of the human mind that creates, divides, disseminate what is not there and this the 'ma ya' (that which is measurable)! The Sky or space is another such ma ya! That which is 'nothing' accommodates 'everything' that does not really exist! The moment radiation of electromagnetic waves move out of Stars (Sun included) there begins time and space is created wherever these electromagnetic waves move out (in 360 Deg.). So who will tell us 'when did the light start from Sun', and where did it reach, and how far and how long it lasts?
