#yugas

O demônio Kali Purusha (não confundir com a deusa Kali) é a personificação da era Kali Yuga, a quarta e última das quatro eras cósmicas (Yugas) na cosmologia hindu, conhecida como a "Era de Ferro" ou a "Idade das Trevas", caracterizada por conflito, vício, egoísmo e degradação moral.

Diferente da deusa Kali (forma feroz de Parvati), Kali Purusha é o senhor do Kali Yuga, associado a Adharma, raiva, violência e infortúnio. Ele é mencionado no Mahabharata como um gandharva que influencia o jogo e a corrupção.

Características de Kali Yuga:

Violência, discórdia, preguiça, indolência e egoísmo.

Uma diminuição acentuada das virtudes, da moralidade e da longevidade humana.

É a pior das eras, mas também a mais curta, precedida por Satya, Treta e Dvapara Yugas, e seguida por um novo Satya Yuga.

Começou em ~ fevereiro de 3102 a.C. e dura 432.000 anos.

O Fim de Kali Yuga:

A decadência humana atinge o auge e um Avatar de Vishnu, Kalki, desce à Terra para restabelecer o Dharma e restaurar a era de ouro, iniciando um novo ciclo cósmico.

Thoughts on Indian Mythology (2)

Murakami’s essay

When I was introduced to the ancient Indian idea of "yugas" (four periods), it reminded me of an essay I read a long time ago by Haruki Murakami.

This is because Murakami grasped from his very early boyhood that there is no such thing as fairness in this world, that is, that it is natural for this world to be unfair, and so he was able to survive the hardships of life without much of an inflection. This was because he talked about the division of the "four seasons" as a quote.

According to Mr. Murakami, "Spring, summer, autumn and winter alternate in a yearly cycle. If the cycle of the four seasons were to come in tens or hundreds of years, people born in late autumn and early winter would end their lives knowing only the dark, cold, harsh winters and never experiencing the pleasant spring and the liberating summer. Life should be completely different depending on when you were born. It is most efficient to live your life according to your natural resources rather than comparing each other on fairness or unfairness.”

When I read this, I was quite convinced, and I have never forgotten it to this day.

-Haruki Murakami (January 12, 1949) is a Japanese novelist and literary translator.

インド神話の感想 (2)

「ユガ（４時期）」という古代インドの考えに触れたとき、ずっと前に読んだ村上春樹氏のエッセイのことを思い出した。

それは、村上氏が「この世に公平などあり得ない」つまり「この世は不公平なのが当たり前だ」ということを、かなり早い少年時代から把握していたため、さほど屈折を感じないで、人生のハードシップを生き抜くことができた。その引用として「四季」の区分について語っていたからだ。

村上氏曰く「春夏秋冬は一年周期で交互に訪れている。仮に、それぞれの四季の周期が何十年、何百年単位で訪れていたとしたら、晩秋から初冬に生まれた人たちは、暗くて寒い、厳しい冬しか知らずに心地良い春や、開放的な夏を体験することなく人生を終わることになる。生まれた時期により人生が全く違ったものになるはずだ。公平か不公平かを比べ合うよりも、自分に与えられた天分に沿った生き方をするのが、最も効率的だ」と言った内容だったと思う。

これを読んだとき、私はずいぶん納得して今日まで忘れずにいた。

Salvation-By-Calendar, Apocalypses, Second Comings, and Yugas

I have this old book published back in the 1920's and it gave me a eureka moment about this topic of prophecy, the never-ending fixation about the end of days. It shows a sketch of the Great 19th-Century Meteor Shower and in the caption is a verse of scripture about "stars falling from the heavens". It also has an old black n white photo of a steam engine train and in the caption underneath a passage from the Book of Daniel:  "But you, Daniel, keep this prophecy a secret; seal up the book until the time of the end, when many will rush here and there, and knowledge will increase.”

"His disciples said to him: 'When will the resurrection of the dead take place, and when will the new world come?' He said to them: 'That resurrection which you are awaiting has already come, but you do not recognize it.'”

That's saying 51 of Gospel of Thomas, a somewhat Buddhist-like or mystical version of a gospel that places emphasis on the now, the present moment. Copies of it have been found at Oxyrinchus, Egypt and near Nag Hammadi, also in Egypt. http://gnosis.org/naghamm/gosthom.html   There is no salvation-by-calendar presented in the Gospel of Thomas.

While Mayan calendar mathematicians, polyester clad prophets, black rock city shamans, vague Nostradumbass quatrains, and the National Enquirer predictions for 2019 (2018, 2017, 2016, etc....) are never impressive, there are some very real apocalyptic concerns, and those are the ones we already know about and have been living with for awhile now.

Ever wondered about the cosmic clock that Hindu mythology talks about? Well, buckle up because we’re about to dive into one of the most fascinating concepts in Hindu philosophy – the Yugas! The Four Yugas: A Cosmic Cycle According to Hindu mythology, there are four Yugas that move in an eternal cycle. Think of it like a cosmic wheel that keeps turning, each spoke representing a different age of…

El ciclo cósmico.

Las cuatro yugas son etapas del mundo en el hinduismo, y la última de ellas es la Kali Yuga.En sánscrito, Kali Yuga significa "Edad de Hierro".

Las cuatro yugas:

• Satya o Krita Yuga: La Edad de Oro, o era de la

verdad.

• Treta Yuga: La Edad de Plata

• Dwapara Yuga: La Edad de Bronce

• Kali Yuga: La era actual, la más corta y la peor

de las cuatro yugas o

Caracteristicas de la Kali Yuga

• Se cree que es la era actual, llena de conflictos y

pecadoo

La sociedad inventa deberes que carecen de

base espiritual alejándose de la verdad y la paz.

Hacer trampa se ha convertido en la

norma.

• La religión, practicada para obtener fama o

ganancias materiales, pierde su santidad.

Al final de Kali Yuga, la humanidad caerá en la

barbarie.

Ciclo de los Yugas

Cada yuga disminuye en duración en 432.000

años humanos. Los cuatro yugas juntos,

suman un total de 12.960 años.

La muerte del vehículo humanoide de Krishna

marcó el final de Dvapara Yuga y el comienzo de Kali

Yuga, que data del 17/18 de febrero de 3102 a.C.

Con una duración de 432.000 años(1.200

años divinos), Kali Yuga comenzó hace 5.126 años y

Le quedan 426.874 años a partir de 2025 d. C. Kali Yuga terminará en el año 428.899 d.C.

Cerca del final de Kali Yuga, cuando las virtudes

están en su peor momento, se produce un

cataclismo y un restablecimiento del dharma para dar paso al Krita (Satya) Yuga del siguiente ciclo, profetizado por Kalki.

Los cuatro yugas son:

Krita (Satya) Yuga: Dura 1.728.000 años (4.800 años divinos)

Treta Yuga: Dura 1.296.000 años (3.600 años divinos)

Dvapara Yuga: Dura 864.000 años (2.400 años divinos)

Kali Yuga: Dura 432.000 años (1.200 años divinos)

El ciclo yuga dura 4.320.000 años, que son 12.000 años divinos.
