The Hindu - 2012

Much like the Egyptian Calendar and Mayan Calendar (Long Calendar), the Hindu have a calendar which has it's end in December 21st, Year 2012. Although the Hindu Calendar ends 12/21/2012, it doesn't start until Feb 18th 3102 B.C., 12 Years after the Mayan Calendar begins on it's fifth cycle. What is in store for the Hindu 2012 prophecies?

The Golden Age - 2012

According to the “Brahma-Vaivarta Purana”, of the Hindu faith, the Kali Yuga calendar begins in 3102 B.C. and the Golden Age, a marking of a new era begins around 5,000 years from the beginning of Kali Yuga era and lasts for 10,000 years according to Hindu scriptures.

The Hindu Calendar

In the Hindu faith they mark both Lunar and Solar calendars, the Satya Yuga, also known as the Golden Age, some researchers and those of the Hindu faith believe it is to start year 2012 which is in conjunction with the Mayan Calendar and Egyptian Calendar.

Some tie this in with all the same prophecies of 2012 which appear over and over again in many different cultures and often displayed as such:

People start out in this time of change going through some extremely hard times, plague, famine, disasters from above and from earth, and great change to take place. After this period of destruction and hard times, some form of enlightenment happens, a sudden and great change of the way we live and think, something returns from ancient times, a great energy appears, a new era begins and we live in peace, atleast those who are still left, for thousands of years to come within this new world.

The idea is that if you can not adapt or change, whether as an individual or as a society, then you will perish, but if you can embrace change and adapt, then it is likely that you will survive. We can see examples of this in the Bible and the Book of Revelations, we can see this in the Hopi Prophecies and the Prophecies of Nostradamus. The ancient Egyptians have similar prophecies so do Web Bot and cultures around the world. Is this the beginning of the Golden Age of 2012?

Whether you are Hindu, Christian or any other faith, and almost every faith has such a period of time within their scriptures and texts, one thing is for certain, change is upon us and its time to see things in a different light. No to be fatalistic, but to be optimistic and aggressive when it comes to changing for the better of all.

The Hindu and the 2012 phenomenon again coincide with an era known as the Golden Age and the HinduCalendar which possibly ends in 2012 - Another example of an enduring legend which starts and ends in 2012.
