about the beginning, the
middle and the end of
one complete‘time cycle’
of this world. More than
anything else, we will
understand the great
significance of the period
we are undergoing at
present.
The world has been in
existence since eternity
and it will continue to be
eternal. The world was
neither created anytime
before nor will it get
destroyed later, because
matter can neither be
created nor destroyed, it
only undergoes
transformation from one
form to another. Similarly
this world also undergoes
changes in its
characteristics, but as
such the world was not
created out of nothing
nor will there be a total
annihilation.
The cycle of time is best
understood with the help
of the picture of the
world drama wheel. It
illustrates the“flow” of
time. In the middle of it is
the Fylfot ( Swastika )
which divides the Time
into four equal parts. The
Swastika is considered to
be very auspicious.
In the first part of this
Wheel of Time, marked
by Swastika is shown
Golden Age. Here the arm
of the Swastika is pointing
towards right because the
right arm symbolizes what
is good or what brings
about goodness. In these
early times, when the
cycle started, people of
the diety religion
( Sanatan Dharma) were
possessed of divine
qualities and nature and
they enjoyed complete
purity, 100% peace and
complete prosperity.
Then came the Silver Age.
In this era too, people
were possessed of purity,
peace and prosperity to a
very high degree. But the
degree of their divine
qualities had decreased a
little. They were two
degrees less divine than
the people of the Golden
Age who were divine to
the extent of 16 degrees.
Therefore the arm of
Swastika that indicates
this epoch is bent
downwards because souls
in this era had come down
from the state of super-
righteousness to what is
just righteous.
Next came Copper
Age.After having
experienced beatitude and
fruition for many a life,
turned ti the path of vices
or unrighteousness. This is
why the arm is reversed
because the left hand
symbolizes what is impure
and auspicious. People
then were second-grade
by their nature, qualities
and actions. Mankind is
now divided on various
religions; strifes and
disputes started to appear
and the five vices brought
disquiet and sorrow in
homes.
Steadily, unrighteous
doings, ie the actions
done under the sway of
one or the other of these
five vices, led the world to
more and more impurity
and sufferings and the
world came under the
yoke of Iron Age
( Kaliyuga). Strifes, wars,
bellicosity and the
resulting peacelessness
increased rapidly in
frequency and intensity in
this era. Therefore the
fourth of Swastika is
shown raising itself up to
indicate the rise in
conflicts, clashes and
calamities. Then, a stage
comes when ignorance,
lassitude, stupor, moral
turpitude and sin become
dominant. People become
devilish by nature and
religion becomes utterly
degenerate.
The Significance of the
present period
At present, we are
undergoing through a
critical phase in the
history of mankind. This
is the period of the
confluence of the ending
phase of the Iron Age and
the starting phase of the
Golden Age. This is the
most important of all
epochs, called the
Confluence Age, when
God, the Highest Being,
descends in this world to
meet the human beings,
His beloved children and
gives the most precious
boons of Redemption and
Beatitude.
Through the Godly
Knowledge and the easy
Raj Yoga, God creates the
Golden Age or new
viceless order. The act of
‘creation’ does not mean
constructing something
out of nothing but it
means the moral
reconstruction of mankind
or the re-establishment of
the ancient most Deity
Religion. The reader would
be pleased to know or,
perhaps, surprised to
know that God Shiva, the
Supreme Father of all, is
indeed doing this great
task of resurrection of
mankind at present. The
world will soon be free of
all miseries and the
paradise, which is full of
peace and happiness, will
be established again.
The Nature of the
World Drama Cycle
The cycle of five epochs,
comprising Golden-Age,
Silver Age, Copper-Age
and Iron Age and the
confluence Age repeats
exactly everytime after it
has turned full wheel.
During every cycle, the
souls who are the actors
on this world-drama stage
will be the same. Each
soul will act the same part
in every cycle since, in the
soul itself is indelibly
ingrained the part it has
played life after life in the
previous cycle or that it
has to repeat cycle after
cycle. Just as in a tape
record or a gramophone
record, a whole song or
drama is recorded and it
repeats every time the
record is played, even so,
a soul’s role in this world
drama is recorded in the
soul itself which is only
self-luminous, conscient
point. The soul replays
the part once every 5000
years because each one of
the four eras of the
world-drama being equal
to 1250 years, the
duration of one World
Cycle is 5000 years
What you are saying is life all about...
