THE GOLDEN AGE - HOW & WHEN?

The following is a comprehensive summary of the predictions by ancient and modern day seers, astrologers and
psychics around the world regarding the Golden Age compiled by Jai Hari Dasa. Jai Hari Dasa (James Spencer),
an astrologer of many years has verified these with the astrological and astronomical facts. This has been
compiled by me (Nayana-ranjana Dasa) from the two messages of Jai Hari Dasa. Most of the things are direct
words of Jai Hari Dasa. I have added some sentences here & there.

THE BEGINNING OF KALI-YUGA

Imagine the following scene: It is midnight on the meridian of Ujjain in India on February 18, 3102 B.C. The
seven planets, including the sun and
moon, cannot be seen since they are all lined up in one direction on the other side of the earth. Directly
overhead the dark planet Rahu hovers invisibly in the blackness of night. According to the jyotisa sastras, this
alignment of the planets actually occurred on this date, which marks the beginning of the Kali-yuga. In fact, in
the Surya-siddhanta, time is meas ured in days since the start of Kali-yuga. [From Vedic Cosmography &
Astronomy by Sadaputa Dasa (Richard Thompson)]

This means we are in the 5101th year of Kali-yuga.

PREDICTION IN THE BRAHMA-VAIVARTA PURANA

Text 50
sri bhagavan uvaca
kaleh pamcasahasrani varsani tistha bhu-tale
papani papino yani tubhyam dasyamti snanatah

The Supreme Personality of Godhead said: On the earth 5,000 years of Kali will be sinful and siners will
deposit their sins in you by bathing.

Text 51
man-mamtropasakasparsad bhasmibhutani tatksanat
bhavisyamti darsanacca snanadeva hi jahnavi

"Thereafter by the sight and touch of those who worship Me by My mantra, all those sins will be burnt."

Text 52
harernamani yatraiva puranani bhavamti hi
tatra gatva savadhanam abhih sarddham ca srosyasi

There will be chanting of the name of Hari and reading of the [Bhagavata] Purana. Reaching such a place,
attentively hear.

Text 55
thatapi vaisnava loke papani papinamapi
prthivyam yani tirthani punyanyapi ca jahnavi

O Ganges, the whole planet will become a pilgrimage sight by the presence of Vaisnavas, even though it had
been sinful.

Text 59
kaler dasa-sahasrani madbhaktah samti bhu-tale
ekavarna bhavisyamti madbhaktesu gatesu ca

For 10,000 years of Kali such devotees of Mine will fill the whole planet. After the departure of My devotees
there will be only on varna [outcaste].

Conclusion: 5100 years of Kali-yuga have already passed so the beginning of the Golden Age which is
predicted in the Brahma-vaivarta Purana to
begin after 5000 years of Kali-yuga must be just around the corner.

AUGUST 1999 - THE FULL SOLAR ECLIPSE

Through the science of analogy and correspondence I can readily see how the planetary conditions are in sinc
with these horrific predictions. There are unlimited inauspicious omens that reveal the unfortunate conditions of
our modern day world. The present planetary situation is ominous and foreboding. In this way I support the
fateful predictions of ancient and modern day seers.

My mind continues to nag me about the hardships I feel are soon to come upon humankind. The year 2000 is a
very ominous year for all living
entities.The year before, 1999, cannot be over looked. This is a foreboding year when anything and everything
adverse and terrible could befall humankind.

There was a full solar eclipse - on August 11th 1999 at 11.08 GMT. Mars was on the horizon. This particular
full eclipse, was a rare type of
eclipse, in conjunction with other planetary positions. The constellation that the Sun and Rahu were transiting is
dynamic and threatening. The ominous presence of this eclipse was a very dark omen for us all.

The eclipse took place with Rahu and the Sun in Cancer, the sign of the Moon. During the eclipse, the Moon
was black and devoid of life and
power.

This eclipse revealed the presence of Kali Durga, the Goddess of death and destruction. We watched the red
planet Mars and strings of comets
that follow after this ominous total eclipse of the Sun. Mars and Saturn are very important planets in the
transformations that the world is going to witness in the years ahead.

JULY 1999 - MAY 2000 THE DANGEROUS PERIOD

July of 1999 until July of 2000 is a very dangerous period on planet

earth. Some times I just shake my head, in wonder of it all. I am
stunned by the potential of destruction, behind all this. The planetary
aspects are frightful, appalling and ruinous. From the middle of 1999 to
the middle of 2000 Mars and Saturn are extremely destructive for
mankind. First comes the ominous Solar Eclipse of 8/11/99, then
finishing with the grand conjunction of planets in Aries on 5/2000. It
won't be long now. The planet ary lineup will soon be upon us. The
lineup takes place in the constellation of Aries, a sign ruled by Mars
the planet of war and destruction. As far as I'm concerned the whole
year holds many dangers. It is not a good year to be moving about. It
is better to stay close to home and take care of yourself. No matter
what happens, I am honored to have been born at a time in history of
such astrological significance. The solar eclipse of 8/99 is dark omen
of immense proportions as the planets prepare for th eir grand lineup of
the year 2000.

Astrologically speaking, the solar eclipse of 8/99, and the planetary

line up of the year 2000, are rare and unfriendly stars. In many ways,
I will be glad when this millennium bug is over, one way or another!
The long time awareness of the astrological influence of 1999 and 2000
has been a knowledgeable monkey on my shoulders for many years. We
will never pay witness to such an astrological phenomena again in this
life. If you are an astrologer, this occurrence must take first place
in your life. MAY 2000 - 2002.

MAY 2000 - 2002 THE GREAT DESTRUCTION

During May of 2000 the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn
lineup in the constellation of Aries. Mars rules this constellation and
he will be leading the lineup slightly ahead in the early degrees of
Taurus. During a short period of time all seven planets will be in a
straight line. Mars is the commander and chief. This grand conjunction
of planets is the planetary inauguration of the Aquarius age.

I believe that mass destruction will manifest in both ways. There will
be a serious war, acts of extreme terrorism as well as natural
catastrophe. Two of the most dangerous countries in terms of devastating
war are India and Pakistan. One of the most dangerous countries in
terms of extreme acts of terrorism and natural disasters is the good ole
USA. All the countries that were totally blackened by the solar eclipse
in August of this year are in extreme danger. It is interesting to note
that Turkey was o ne of those countries that Rahu cast a complete shadow
during the eclipse. Three days after the eclipse Turkey was struck with
a devastating earth quake, killing 20,000 people. I believe that Canada
is one of the safest countries to live in during these next few years.
Never the less it is advisable that you do not live on the coast lines,
nor on flatbeds of land that can easily be subject to flooding. It is
possible that the Great Lakes of Ontario will flood and merge into one
body of water. Naturally , this will cause unlimited adversity and
death. It has been predicted that as much as two thirds of the planet
will be wiped out. This is a frightening prediction of tremendous
proportion. If things come to this, I'm afraid we all are going to
suffer in one way or another. The old and sick will die off quickly and
the rest of us become subject to survival of the fittest. I dare say,
how I could make such a doomsday prediction, without choking on my
words. I can only hope and pray that my thoughts wil l be on Lord
Caitanya and the Holy name when death knocks on my door. One would hope
that the predictions in this period (2000-2002) may come out false but
then the massive destruction in these two years is a part of the bigger
plan which is the advent of the most wonderful Golden Age.

Let us now become greatly absorbed in chanting the Hare Krishna

maha-mantra along with spiritual and metaphysical study. In this way we
can stay absorbed in transcendental subject matter and the bliss of the
Lord's Holy name and thus transcend the impending disasters in the
material environment.
It has been predicted that it will take until 2002 to just climb out of
the rubble and major chaos. This is an interesting prediction, as
Uranus will enter sidereal Aquarius in 2002.

From the ashes of destruction, the birth of universal vision is upon us.

2002-2009: THE LAUNCH OF THE GOLDEN AGE

After the year 2002 it will take another few decades to bring some
resemblance of organization, form and structure back into society. If
all the things that have been predicted for the change of the millenium
come true? It will take a whole generation for complete restoration and
healing.

After this, the Kali Yuga age, will be held back for a period of 10,000
years. There will be 5000 years to the perfection of a mini Satya Yuga,
when the planet is slowly returned to the mode of goodness. After that
there is another 5000 years of slow decline and degradation. At this
point the dark ages of Kali Yuga are back upon us in full force.

This 10,000-year cycle is a "Grace" period within the Kali Yuga. During
this time, unlimited living entities will return back to the spiritual
world, due to the unlimited and unfathomable mercy of the Golden Avatar.

Yes, Uranus enters sidereal Aquarius in 2002. Uranus will remain in

this sign for 7 years. During this time human kind will go through
tremendous and inconceivable changes. During the 7-year transit of
Uranus through Aquarius more great souls, enlightened beings and pure
devotee's will manifest. Aquarius is the Water Bearer who pours upon
mankind, the Absolute Truth. Jesus was the Avatar for the age of Pisces
and Lord Caitanya is the Golden Avatar for the Age of Aquarius. Lord
Caitanya is an Aquarius . Even Jesus taught His disciples that there
was more for them to know, but they were not yet ready to hear. He went
on to say, that during the age of the Water Bearer, all that is to be
known, will come upon mankind. These 7 years will be the most important
period which will lay the foundation for the manifestation of the Golden
Age. Those living entities, countries and cities that are born with
Aquarius lagna, Aquarius Moon or Sun sign are sure to be changed forever
during Ura nus through Aquarius. T hose who are highly advanced in
Krsna consciousness, or given the mercy of Lord Caitanya's, will move
into a state of samadhi.

I don't believe we can experience 7 years of Uranus moving through

Aquarius with out some serious upheaval and revolution. Therefore the
big changes predicted upon the earth will extend beyond the planetary
line-up and into the transit of Uranus through sidereal Aquarius.

Uranus/Aquarius holds a certain amount of unreliability and erratic

behaviour. After all, Uranus is a planet of sudden shifts, shock, alarm,
earth quakes, surprise, alteration, mutation, riot, stampede and
avalanches.
Uranus rules ultra sound and ultra violet. Nothing is the same after
Uranus does his thing. We are likely to be initially perplexed and
puzzled. Uranus opens new frontiers, obeys higher orders, higher
parameters, is unorthodox, totally impatient, eccentric, and
mischievous. Uranus looks for new thrills, breaks all boundaries and is
a seeker par excellence. Uranus can be fanatic, idealist, and a
desperado. Uranus cannot stand mediocre, monotony or stupidity. Uranus
seeks to disclose new vistas, new pan oramas and discover new sciences.
Uranus is revolution, reform and the 2nd coming of Krsna consciousness.
Uranus does not mind scandal nor reproach. Uranus is anti-establishment
and he smites what is decadent, obsolete or just in the way. Uranus is
capable of bringing shocking violence upon human kind.

When Uranus moves into Aquarius be ready for anything. The transits of
Uranus always brings drastic changes. It is a savage force that stops
as suddenly as it started. Uranus is electronic and always on the
move. Uranus is alert, acute and ready like a jet pilot. Uranus is so
fast that its speed is hard to measure. Uranus is the Absolute Truth,
universal brotherhood and the science of the soul.

It is easy to realize that we are in the very early stages of the Age of
Aquarius. In relation to "time" our present life span means nothing.
It is not even one blink of Lord Brahma's eye. Time is relative, but,
for the spirit-soul it does not exist. In relation to all the
marvellous changes that are yet to take place before the earth is
flooded in Love of Godhead, we have not even climbed out of the stool
yet. We cannot limit our vision to this one mere life time.

The Age of Aquarius is the age of enlightenment. It is the beginning

stage of a mini Satya Yuga, or Golden Age. It is not the end of Kali
Yuga; rather, it is a 10,000-year grace period, within Kali Yuga. The
grace period exists simply by the unlimited mercy of Lord Caitanya, the
Golden Avatar. The main purpose of this 10,000-year grace period, is to
flood the world with love of God; liberating unlimited numbers of living
entities, before the real Dark Age of Kali Yuga is upon us in full
force. As prophesi zed by Lord Caitanya, the golden years of grace will
offer unlimited spiritual opportunities.

The Aquarius energy is not bound to race, color or creed. Aquarius sees
the true spirit in everyone. Aquarius is the sign of the Water-bearer
who pours great wisdom upon mankind. The Water-bearer will aid mankind
toward development of a society according to far greater moral and
spiritual values. Aquarius seeks universal brotherhood, expression and
ideals. Aquarius is a sign ruled by both Saturn and Uranus. The
highest qualities in humankind are expressed through an exalted Saturn.
Limitations are broken and new frontiers are explored when Uranus comes
around. Uranus will return to Aquarius in 2002. This only happens once
in a hundred years. It is considered a positive turning point for
humankind.

2009-4000 A.D. THE MATERIALIZATION OF THE GOLDEN AGE

As you probably already know, each age lasts 2000 earth years. It will
take these two thousand years for Lord Caitanya's mission to fully
materialize. It will take another 3000 years to bring His prophecy to
be full manifestation. It will take another 5000 years to decline.

During the first two thousand years of the Aquarian Age the earth will
be restored to the mode of goodness, thus creating a mini Satya Yuga
within Kali Yuga. This is necessary before human kind can pursue
spiritual life nicely. Once mother Bhumi is restored to the mode of
goodness a pure varna society can become established and Dharma becomes
embedded through out the world.

It is an era when mankind will scientifically prove the existence of the

soul. From this pursuit light energy will evolve to levels beyond our
present imagination. The metaphysical arts and sciences are restored
and honored. The accuracy of Jyotish is restored to a hundred percent.

Aquarius is the sign of universal brotherhood, complete knowledge and

service to humanity. During this era human kind will come to fully
acknowledge the existence of the spirit soul in all living entities. The
laws of human kind will be based upon the natural laws of karmic
retribution that is working through the forces of material nature.

Numerous evolved souls, sages, mystics and pure devotees of God will
incarnate. The human race will benefit greatly by their association.

4000-7000 A.D. THE FULL MANIFESTATION OF THE GOLDEN AGE

The earth will be returned to an almost perfect condition. Once Nature

has been healed, the planet will become saturated in the mood of
goodness. Humankind will live in harmony with God and nature. There will
be no more pollution, or religious wars. The opportunities for
spiritual advancement are abundant.

The demigods would hanker to take birth during this time on earth
because of the extremely favourable situation for self-realization.

I'm afraid if you really want to bare witness to Srila Prabhupada's

world glory you'll have to incarnate continuously for the next 5000
years. You'll have to continue your service to Lord Caitanya, each and
every time. In 5000 years from now we can all gather in the Temple of
Temples and dance in the victory kirtana, led by Lord Caitanya in honor
of Srila Prabhupada.

7000-12000 A.D. THE DECLINE OF THE GOLDEN AGE

The Golden Age will decline gradually for these 5000 years.

12000 Onwards STRENGTHENING OF KALI

The full-force of Kali-yuga will be felt as per the already available

detailed descriptions in the 12th Canto of Srimad-Bhagavatam & other
Puranas.

This will culminate in the appearance of Lord Kalki, about 427,000 years
from now who will come to simply destroy the demoniac & re-establish
Satya-yuga which is the beginning of another Catur-yuga (4,320,000
years).
