Millions are wondering what the future holds for mankind, and if we are soon due for a world-changing global shift. Paramhansa Yogananda (author of the classic Autobiography of a Yogi) and his teacher, Sri Yukteswar, offered key insights into this subject. They presented a fascinating explanation of the rising and falling eras that our planet cycles through every 24,000 years. According to their teachings, we have recently passed through the low ebb in that cycle and are moving to a higher age—an Energy Age that will revolutionize the world. Over one hundred years ago Yukteswar predicted that we would live in a time of extraordinary change, and that much that we believe to be fixed and true—our entire way of looking at the world — would be transformed and uplifted. In The Yugas, authors Joseph Selbie and David Steinmetz present substantial and intriguing evidence from the findings of historians and scientists that demonstrate the truth of Yukteswar’s and Yogananda’s revelations.

Almost every ancient culture believed that human civilization and consciousness has progressively declined since an erstwhile Golden Age till the current age of greed and lies, discord and strife, called the Kali Yuga. But when does the Kali Yuga end? And what happens after that? In this extensively researched book, Bibhu Dev Misra has delineated the common threads that run through the Yuga Cycle doctrines of ancient cultures, taking the aid of scientific discoveries wherever available. His reconstruction of the original Yuga Cycle framework indicates that the end of the Kali Yuga is just around the corner - in 2025! Within a span of just 15 years, by the year 2040, the Kali Yuga civilization is likely to collapse due to a combination of global wars, environmental catastrophes and comet impacts. The survivors will inherit a renewed earth, bathed in the divine light of the Central Sun. Is there any scientific evidence in support of the Yuga Cycle? What drives the sinusoidal fluctuation in our physical size and consciousness in course of the Yuga Cycle? Why do cataclysmic obliteration of civilizations occur after every Yuga? What do we make of the end-time prophecies which tell of a Savior or Avatar returning at the end of the Kali Yuga? These are some of the key questions addressed in this book. This riveting and thought-provoking work contains one of the most important messages of our time.

From the fall of Rome to the Renaissance almost nothing new was discovered. Man looked back to the great learning of classical civilization for inspiration: admiring their thinkers and architects but incapable of equaling them. In turn, those ancients looked back further, to a previous “Golden Age.†Why did civilization fall and then rise again? In 1920, the Indian Yogi Paramhansa Yogananda, author of the spiritual classic “Autobiography of a Yogi†, came to the United States with the answer. With his message of simple living and high thinking, he became the most popular speaker in the country. This short book deals with Yogananda and the New Age he described: Dwapara Yuga.

A beautifully evocative account of one man’s odyssey to discover authentic and unbroken magical traditions in the East and reawaken them in the West • Details the author’s encounters with the Naga Babas, his initiation into their tradition, and his experience at the Kumbh Mela, the largest spiritual gathering on Earth • Shares the similarities he discovered between the teachings of the Indian tradition and the Western traditions of magic, alchemy, and pagan pantheons • Introduces a wide cast of characters, including Goa Gil, the world-renowned guru of the Goa techno-trance scene, and Mahant Amar Bharti Ji, a “raised-arm Baba,” who for more than 40 years has held up one arm in devotion to Shiva Beautifully detailing his spiritual pilgrimage from West to East and back again, in the age of strife known as the Kali Yuga, Aki Cederberg shares the authentic and unbroken magical traditions he experienced in India and Nepal and how his search for a spiritual homeland ultimately led him back to his native Europe. Cederberg explains how his odyssey began as a search for spiritual roots, something missing in the spiritually disconnected life of the Western world, where the indigenous traditions were long ago severed by the spread of Christianity. Traveling to India, he encounters the ancient esoteric order of mystic, wild, naked holy men known as the Naga Babas, the living source of the Hindu traditions of magic and yoga. Immersing himself in the teachings of the tradition, he receives an initiation and partakes in the Kumbh Mela, the largest spiritual gathering on Earth. With his evocative descriptions, Cederberg shows how traveling in India can be an overwhelming, even psychedelic experience. Everything in this ancient land is multiplied and manifold: people and things, sights and sounds, joy and suffering. Yet beyond the apparent confusion and chaos, a strange, subtle order begins to reveal itself. He starts to glimpse resemblances and analogies between the teachings of the Indian tradition and the Western traditions of magic, alchemy, and pagan pantheons. He meets a wide cast of characters, from mystical hucksters in Rishikesh and the veritable army of naked, chillum-smoking mystics of Maya Devi to Goa Gil, the world-renowned guru of the Goa techno-trance scene, and Mahant Amar Bharti Ji, an urdhvabahu or “raised-arm Baba,” who for more than 40 years has held up one arm in devotion to Shiva. After extensive traveling and immersing himself in the extraordinary world of India, Cederberg returns to his native soil of Europe. Traveling to holy places where old pagan divinities still linger in the shadows of the modern world, he dreams of forgotten gods and contemplates how they might be awakened yet again, reconnecting the West with its own pre-Christian spiritual traditions, sacred landscapes, and soul.

Today, the word "God" carries a lot of baggage. People conjure up different meanings for it based on their backgrounds and cultures; it often evokes positive and negative emotions. Humanity living in God's awareness on a day-to-day basis is often complicated for people from the Dwapara Yuga. As previously discussed, atheism and science often limit the Kali Yuga conception of God. According to Sri Yukteswar, God is not a venerable personage who resides in an antiseptic corner of the universe. As a result of God's consciousness, which is pure and beyond form and limitations, our consciousness is an inextricable expression of his consciousness. As we become more aware of ourselves, we become part of God's pure consciousness. Humanity has discovered more profound, subtle aspects of its true identity through the yugas. The layers of wrapping that hide the gift inside get removed as we move through the yugas. Most wrappings will be removed in Satya Yuga, revealing the gift underneath as if through a thin layer of tissue. Each individual in Satya Yuga will experience "God the Spirit beyond this visible world" after removing the last layer.

Kali-yuga started when the Supreme Lord, K???a, left the planet, and will last for 432 000 years. This is the time when morality is at its lowest and evil is at its peak. At the end of Kali-yuga, the Supreme Lord will incarnate as Lord Kalki and at that time, He will cleanse the Earth from the fallen people and usher in the Golden Age of Satya-yuga. This entire flow of time will occur again and again till Lord Brahm? (the Creator) quits his body. When Lord Brahm? is at the end of his life, the entire creation will be reduced to its nucleus form and will get absorbed in God, waiting for the next cycle to roll. Discover the transcendental story of creation, the flow of time from Satya-yuga to Kali-yuga, pastimes of the Supreme Personality of Godhead as Kalki, events of the end days, and most importantly, the solution to escape the total annihilation.
