| " Manu Smriti", "the Memorandum of Manu", the Divine Law-Giver to mankind, described the life span of the Universe which is merely a speck in the Creation of God. He also specified calculations of the eternally cyclic life span of Brahma. | |
The divine Agency of the Creative Attribute of God, large and minor Religious Cycles of Virtues comprising of various aeons, ages, epics and their linking periods, His book is known as the Source of all laws, or
" Laws-Codes of Man", also 'Yug-Shasta" means "The book of Yug", in which Man has declared the beginning of a long big cycle of 12000 years containing within Itself 4 minor and uneven periodic cycles, at the termination of which the beginning of a new "Krit Yug" which means the "Cycle of Truth in Deeds" will start.
"Manu-Smriti"
or "Manava Dharma-sastra" the Code or Institutes of Manu. A collection
of laws based on custom and precedent and the teaching of the Vedas.
It is traditionally attributed to the mythical first Manu, Svayambhuva, but it was probably based on 'manuals written by the teachers of the Vedic schools for the guidance of their pupils...and only later acknowledged as sources of sacred law applicable to all Aryas'. (Laws of Manu, SBE Sacred Books of the East, pp. XIF; V. also CHI The Cambridge History of India,
1.p. 278).Thus they represent ' the sum of the conditions of social co-existence with regard to the activity of the community and of the individual ' (R. Pal, History of Indian Law, p.2) in India during almost the whole of the first millennium BC ...
Divine revelation (Sruti) and empirical knowledge (Smriti) are drawn upon to
define the Law of Conduct and to apply toSruti it, though not always
impartially, to all classes of the community.
As per the calculations given in Manu Smriti, Chapter 1,
Versus 68 to 72: that long cycle was to end exactly in 1844 AD and the New Era
was to begin, which Most Great Event has already taken place at the moment when
the Bab declared himself.
The exact calculation is as follows:
|
Name of Yug Prelink Duration Postlink Full-period Sat Yug 100 + 1000 + 100 = 1200 Treta Yug 200 + 2000 + 200 = 2400 Dwapar Yug 300 + 3000 + 300 = 3600 Kali Yug 400 + 4000 + 400 = 4800 Grand Total Years = 12000 |
 |
In India we have roughly the history of 5000 years, or a little more. We have no
records of the pre-historic Yugas and their prelink and postlink periods.
Of coarse, we have all legendary records about Sat Yug, along with
Manifestations of God Who appeared in succession, one after the other, during
those three Yugas and even those before Manu. Rig Ved was revealed by Aditya
Rishi and Atharva Ved by Angira Rishi. " Rishi" means " a Divine
Sage" or a " Sage having Divine Authority".
Manu, like Moses, confirmed all the four previous Holy
Revelations and the Divine Revealers thereof and gave ten commandments, and many
codes of laws, described Geneses of this world, Cycles of previous Manus and
prophesied future aeons, cycles and ages.
What we can now calculate with historic accuracy is the
period of a little more than 5000 years, viz.
From the time of Bhagwan Shri Krishna, The Divine Revealer of the Holy Gita, Who was born 5207 years ago from now i.e. 1982 AD In those days Solar System of almanac was not known, and a calendar showing Lunar years was prevailing.
| After about 3000 years from Bhagwan Shri Krishna there was a noble king Vikramaditya who in 56 BC in-augurated the Solar Calendar, using the same names of the mouths but adding one duplicate month " Adhik Mas" in every third year, which became a leap year, and also adjusting some duplicate dates " Adhik Tithies" in various months. | |
This Vikram Samvat is now running It's 2039th year. But, Shri Krishna Samvat is also simultaneously running 5207th year because Shri Krishna's devotees are observing their religious rites and sacred duties according to Shri Krishna Samvat Calendar.
Vikram Samvat has always been, and even now is, 56 years ahead of the Christian Calendar which runs on the Gregorian Solar System.
Shri Krishna Calendar has 335 days in each year, and hence 10 1/4 days less than the Christian Calendar year. We have therefore to add 10 1/4 days per year to Shri Krishna Samvat which is now 5207.
"Kali" literally means " a bud; a petal of the flower; then, strives, clash, quarrel; wars; one side of die;"
(Refer to " Amar-Koshi" Sanskrit Dictionary). |
In Vishnu Puran It is also stated that so long as Bhagwan Shri Krishna was touching this earth with His Lotus Feet, Kali Yug could not put It's foot on earth. |
The word "Kali" has a dual meaning, which depicts that a beautiful bud and a fragrant rose also, ultimately decays, dries up and dies out.
Hence, there are clear-cut prophecies in the Hindu Scriptures about the bad events to come and evil occurrence to happen at the end-part of Kali Yug- "Kaliyugantey".
Usually Hindu's and also the generality of the people think that Kali Yug as a whole is an evil age, which It is not.
Because It is God's open and loudest declaration that whenever a God-Man, Manifestation of Divinity, appears on Earth He most assuredly brings once again and establishes Religion, and an age of Righteousness in the world of Humanity is renewed.
The same thing was exactly done by Shri Krishna. He did establish a beautifully budding civilization, a spiritualized nobility flourishing like the opening of a petal- "Kali" - of a fragrant rose.
He specially claims : " I am the flowery Spring Season" "Aham Rutuna Kusumakarah", Gita X. So Kali was a budding age of goodness, which, at the last end, during It's "sandhayansh" the twilight point of 400 years, decayed and became worse and worse and finally died in 1844 AD which was the 5065 Th year of Shri Krishna Samvat.
The year 1844 AD synchronizes with this year 4800.3969.
The fraction 0.3969 depicts 4 months, 24 days, 23 hours, 13 minutes and 31.008 seconds of the year 1844 AD or the year 4800 of the expiry of Kali Yug.
The prophecy says that Kali Yug will end at this particular year, and by the end of age there will appear a Manifestation of God Who will inaugurate a New " Krityug" which means " The Age Of Deeds".
This is exactly what the Bab had done on the 23rd of May 1844 AD 2 hours and 11 minutes after sunset, and fulfilled the great and long-standing prophecy.
| There is a definite method of God usually found in all the prophetic Books, that prophecies and predictions for the remote future events are always made in the form of riddles and allegories, so that they remain concealed and locked up in the safe custody's of the knowledge of God and His Saints and the possessors of spiritual insight only Promised One from God appears and unlocks mysteries with His Master Key. |
 |
This Divine arrangement is a very wise system meant for
just safeguarding the real truth seekers and devotees of God from false
claimants and pseudo prophets who generally try to misguide the people, though
themselves know nothing about the mysteries and are ignorant of the realities of
the Divine prophecies.
| Saints and holy persons make significant prophecies and indicate hidden mysteries. In the year 1565 AD saint Surdas straightaway made an exact pinpoint prophecy for the target year 1844 AD in unambiguous and very emphatic terms. |  |
Surdas was a blind saint who lived in Parsavli village, near Mathura, the birth-place of Shri Krishna in Uttar Pradesh, India. At that time Vikram Samvat was prevailing in India and the Gregorian Solar Calendar throughout the world.
|
Manu in His Divine wisdom, knew that by the time Kali Yug will end there shall be Solar System of all the Calendars prevailing universally. And hence, he gave all the calculations in His prophecy in Solar Years. |
Brief but poignant prophecy of saint Surdas is as follows:
O Mind! Why dost thou not have patience? None can put back the destined march of events.
Meghnat - the son of Ravana shall take birth again.
One thousand nine hundred and above, such event shall occur that a cycle of Truth shall prevail for a thousand years to come and the creeper of Religion shall start rising high.
| The Golden Flower shall bloom on earth, and then alone the condition of the World shall take a turn. |  |

O Surdas! This is the Mysterious Play of God,
which cannot be adverted.
In the above prophecies saint Surdas begins and ends with strong and firm and unambiguous notes of assertion that whatever he has said shall inevitably come to pass and none can resist it, or put it back. He says that there shall be the return of "Meghnath" who was a monstrous king and the enemy of Rama - the Manifestation of God. Also Meghnath was the son of "Ravana" who was also a king and the enemy of Rama.
This has actually taken place: King Muhammad Shàh was the enemy of the Bàb, and after Muhammad Shàh was the enemy of the Bàb, and after Muhammad Shàh came his son Nàsiru'd-Dìn Shàh, by whose the Bàb was martyred, thousands of His followers were killed, butchered, burnt alive and tyrannized in the most horrible fashions in the history of human beings.
The saint Surdas says that one thousand nine hundred and above, such an event shall occur that the cycle of Truth shall prevail for a thousand years to come and religion shall start rising high slowly like a creeper. As we already know that this Hindu Vikram Samvat runs 56 years ahead of the Christian calendar, 1900 Vikram Samvat was therefore exactly in 1844 AD to wit: 1900-56=1844. And saint Surdas says "1900 and above, this "above" means not one full-year bur a fraction more than 1900. And that also was fulfilled, because the Bàb declared in the month of May on the 22nd, 2 hours and 11 minutes after sunset to be exact 4 months, 22 days 2 hours and 11 minutes above 1900 Vikram Samvat. The Bahà'ì Era started in 1844 AD and the Bahà'ì Faith shall run its first course for not less that one thousand years as no Manifestation of God, according to Bahà'u'llàh, shall appear before the completion of one full thousand years.
|
According to saint Surdas the Bahà'ì Faith is now growing like a creeper, and a time will surely come when the Golden Age of the Cause of Bahà'u'llàh shall certainly come, when "the golden flower" shall bloom on earth and the condition of the world shall be changed and "Heaven on earth" or "Ramrajya" i.e. "the Kingdom of God" shall be firmly established on earth.
Of course, this shall come to pass and 'none shall have the power to resist or avert it"
