Well the Mayan talk may seem to be old and long lost. But the facts are always interesting. Here are the few interesting facts that i found. Read and enjoy.:)
In the “Brahma-Vaivarta Purana”, Lord Krishna tells Ganga Devi that a Golden Age will come in the Kali Yuga - one of the four stages of development that the world goes through as part of the cycle of eras, as described in Hindu scriptures. Lord Krishna predicted that this Golden Age will start 5,000 years after the beginning of the Kali Yuga, and will last for 10,000 years.
Mayan Calendar Matches Hindu Calendar

It is interesting that this prediction of the emergence of a new world is prophesied to appear about the same time that the Mayans predicted it to come! The Mayan calendar began with the Fifth Great Cycle in 3114 BC and will end on 21 December 2012 AD. The Hindu Kali Yuga calendar began on 18 February 3102 B.C. There is only a difference of 12 years between the Hindu's beginning of the Kali Yuga and the Mayan's beginning of the Fifth Great Cycle.
Golden Age Could Begin in 2012
The ancient Hindus mainly used lunar calendars but also used solar calendars. If an average lunar year equals 354.36 days, then this would be about 5270 lunar years from the time when the Kali Yuga started until 21 Dec 2012. This is the same year that the Mayans predict rebirth of our planet. It is also about 5113 solar years of 365.24 days per year, and is day number 1,867,817 into the Kali Yuga. By either solar or lunar years, we are over 5,000 years into the Kali Yuga and it is time for Lord Krishna's prophecy to happen according to the ancient Hindu scriptures. Lord Krishna's Golden Age could easily begin in 2012!

It is amazing that both calendars began at about the same time over 5,000 years ago and both calendars predict a totally new world and/or golden age after about 5,000 years into their calendars! We are definitely on to something with these Mayan and Hindu 2012 predictions. Historically, this is an amazing fact since these two ancient cultures did not have any contact or may be that did!!. credits: google
Interesting !! How much the ancient historians tried so well to be accurate & in most cases, were right
ReplyDelete@Prashanth Ashok yea trueeee
ReplyDeletebut why did the mayan calendar stop in dec 2012 ..
ReplyDeleteneverthless I think the ancient scriptures etc were far advanced in those days then now for sure

Interesting facts !!!!. Read somewhere that 2012 Dec will mark the beginning of destruction...The Inception for the new birth who knows. Every matter will change its state @ someday or the other,be it humans or earth. The new year has begun, hopefully we consider this as a rebirth, thank god and move on. Happie new year :). Also 21122012 may be the biggest binary number that mayans have discovered ;). Don know whether our ancestors considered the new moon days. Ther is also a fact that in mahabharath lord krishna performed amavasai rituals a day b4 to favour pandavas victorty. Ther are lots in epic which may havebeen missed. Nice info !!!!.
