Dec 2012- Part 2

I request you to read the first part before reading this one.

Now it’s very clear that mayans dint predict anything about the end of the world but most of the people are very curious to know what Hinduism had said about the end of the world.As we already know that we are in kaliyuga, people claim that Hinduism also predicted the end of the world in 2012. But it’s totally a wrong interpretation.

The calculation part here is somewhat confusing since there are a number of cycles within cycles so i will share this in future posts but now I will explain about the mahayuga alone.

Maha yuga is the smallest cycle and one mahayuga is equal to 4,320,000 human years. (There are some interesting facts about the number 432 .It’s called cosmic key for the universe which is present in all forms of life.. just like Divine proportion(1.618) in Fibonacci series. I would like to share it in future).

Now, coming to the point, each mahayuga is subdivided into four ages and its length follows the ratio of 4:3:2:1.

Satya yuga or krita yuga: It lasted for 1,728,000 human years .This is Virtue reigns supreme. It’s called golden age or age of truth.. Average lifespan of human was 100,000 yrs.

Treta Yuga : it lasted 1,296,000 human years. There was 3 quarter virtue and 1 quarter sin. It was called Silver age and human lifespan was 10,000 years.

Dwapar yuga : It lasted 864,000 human years1 half virtue and 1 half sin. Lifespan of human was 1000 years

Kaliyuga : It lasts 432,000 human years.1 quarter virtue and 3 quarter sin. Lifespan of human is 100yrs.

People believe that we are in kaliyuga but actually we are just in the beginning of kaliyuga.We have just stepped into it.According to hinduism it takes 432,000 yrs for kali to come and destroy the whole world, So Hinduism never predicted anything about the year 2012.

Now, let’s see some scientific events that could occur in dec 2012.                    

Geomagnetic reversal or pole shift is the change in the earth’s magnetic field such as position of magnetic north and magnetic south are interchanged. Some people say reversal in the rotation of earth will happen and this would take place in dec 2012 but this news is completely wrong.

NASA has revealed that reversal in the rotation of earth is not at all possible. Only the magnetic reversal takes place once in 400,000 yrs and it doesn’t cause any harm to the earth. It’s not even going to take place in near future.

Next comes the solar flare or solar storm which is really going to take place somewhere between 2012 to 2014. Scientists are most probably expecting it in the end of 2012. Don’t worry the sun is not going to send huge balls of fire to the earth. :P

Let me explain what happens if solar flare occurs.

Solar flares are explosions on the surface of the Sun that can last minutes to hours and it reaches its peak every 11 years.

During the solar flare, the sun releases large amount of energy. All of the sudden the sun becomes very bright and the flare ejects clouds of electrons, ions, and atoms. These clouds reach earth in a couple of days after the event.

A solar flare could harm satellites and its radiation could affect the people who are flying in the plane but a powerful solar flare could completely damage all the satellites and transformers on earth which in turn could cause a long term power outages all over the world( sometimes even for 10 yrs ). OMG!!! That’s too horrible right?

Scientists believe it could lead to failures in power grids, power surges and it damages everything from emergency service systems, hospital equipment, air traffic control devices,banking systems  through to everyday items such as home computers, iPods and Sat Navs.

If all traffic control devices stop working all of the sudden then it would result in major accidents.

All the electronic devices that we use are sensitive to the magnetic energy. These kind of catastrophe could be avoided if proper precautionary actions are taken in advance by installing resistors but it’s really an expensive and huge task.Let’s hope the solar flare that is going to occur in 2012 or 2013 would not create such devastation.
