NOSTRADAMUS, BHAGWAD GEETA AND FINALLY ME

I am relieved to have my hands back on my blog again.Not to regret that I am late, I have written something very special for you all.

As a kid from a typical Hindu family, I always found myself surrounded by an environment filled with high religious and spiritual practices and sentiments. Stories from mythology and Gods were common. Pujas, Yagyas and Chanting were a core part of my family. But somehow I never so believed in those practices. Not to say that I was an atheist but I always thought God is omnipresent and it is more important that you have faith and not the practices and stuff. Later I realized that this was my excuse of not getting up early from bed and escaping myself from sitting for long hours in that suffocating smoke coming from the small square sized sand bowl.

But I was always attracted to the stories of Gods and demons that my Grandma used to narrate me very often. I was particularly attracted to the discussions that sometimes my aunt and Maa or some other in the family would speak about the KALKI AVATAR or God coming in the future time. I would always wonder if I would be alive to see this God or whatever it is. 

With time those stories faded in the background but this quench for knowing those predictions and happenings mentioned in our Vedas and mythology were always an excitement.

After completing my first Art Of Living course,all my questions got answered.But still this kalki thing kept bugging me in my mind. But with time this was also answered. I thought of sharing this with my friends and relatives but then I realized no one believes things without proof, so I thought when it is time they will know.

But recently I was in a session with Rishi Vidyadharji, one of the most renowned faculty of the Art Of Living Foundation. There someone from the audience asked a question to him as what is the KALKI AVATAR all about and who is it. He answered the question in five minutes and everyone in the auditorium was stunned. He mentioned few facts from the prophecies of Nostradamus and Bhagwad Geeta. I thought of presenting you as what did he say with some proof for your little intellectual mind. I did a little research here and there  and finally writing it down.  

THIS IS WHAT PROPHECY OF NOSTRADAMUS  HAS TO SAY ON THE KALKI AVATAR...

The Frenchman never visited India. In point of time, his forecasts were published well before Akbar became the Moghul ruler in Delhi. But, despite the great distance of time and space, Nostradamus clearly foresaw the rise of a mighty all-conquering Hindu nation.

To convince the skeptics it is best to quote the prophetic quatrains of the "Centuries". It must always be borne in mind that they were first published in 1555. Two copies of that edition are still preserved in the French National Library in Paris. Their genuineness cannot be disputed.

This is what is written in his book...

Quatrain 75, Century X 

Long awaited, he will not take birth in Europe,

India will produce the immortal ruler, 

Seeing wisdom and power of unlimited scope,

Asia will bow before this conquering scholar.

As if this were not a sufficient warning to fanatics, Nostradamus makes his meaning still more explicit in the following: 

Quatrain 96, Century X 

The religion of the name of the seas triumphs, 

Against the fanatics of the Khalif's adalat, 

The murderous creed of the false alefs, 

Between the Hindus and Christians will be caught.

This prophecy need a little explication. In geography, one finds the Hindu Maha Sagar (the Indian Ocean in English). Hinduism is the only religion with a sea (an ocean, rather) named after it. The Moslem fanatics believe that the Shariat or Koranic law with its sexual licence is God-given or Khalif's adalat. The Koran itself opens with the letter alef (A) in Arabic. Both Hindus and Christians have suffered at the hands of Moslems and seek revenge. Lebanon is a foretaste of things to come. The Nostradamian quatrain spells the doom of the creed.   If this interpretation sounds far-fetched,consider yet another prophetic quatrain: Quatrain 50,Century L From the peninsula where three seas meet, comes the ruler to whom Thursday is holy, His wisdom and might all nations will greet, To oppose him in Asia will be folly. South India is the only peninsula in the entire globe where three seas meet a point and stretch away. The great Hindu who will wipe out our enemies will hence be a south Indian who offers worship on Thursdays. It is easy to see why Nostradamus specifically mentions Thursday as the holy day. It is only Hindus who consider Thursday(In Hindi-Guruwar-GURU - WAR-THE DAY OF THE GURU) sacred. Moslems pray on Friday; Jews bow before God on Saturday; Christians bawl hymns on Sunday at church. Nostradamus is making it clear here that the conqueror will be a Hindu from South India. He will bind Asia together under his rule. The Hindu leader, however, will not be a tyrant. He will be ruthless with the Moslem fanatics. But he will win over the communists by persuading them of the timeless varieties of Hinduism. Even in  the Bhagwad Geeta its written that the KALKI AVATAR will come riding on a horse with a sword as his weapon and will destroy all the foulness in the world.(Everything written in those books is symbolic, of course you cannot expect a horse rider cruising along the busy streets of Chandni Chowk with a sword in his hand;-)

kalki refers to the future avtar.  Horse in Sanskrit is called Ashwa. shwa means either in the past or the future. So ashwa means that which is neither in the future or in the past.It means that which is in the present moment. So kalki refers to one who is present in the consciousness this very moment. That divinity which brings together everything at this very moment, which takes away the feeling of separation from you and rekindles belongingness in you, is present here right now.And sword in Sanskrit also refers to knowledge. So he will be the one who will use his knowledge and wisdom and spread it across the world to wipe out all the evils in the system. 

This is also indicated in Kalki Purana and other books that Lord Kalki would visit many great saints dwelling on mountains and would take their blessings. After accumulating the required boons and blessings, then finally he would be called as ‘Kalki’. 

Most of the prophets and their prophecy say that KALKI is a male(since it is an avatar of Lord Vishnu) and has already taken birth and is now already in its full form. There are also many other prophecies which indicate the same thing I have written above.
