Description
This book specially looks at some of the predictions of these sages, apparently vague and mysterious, but surprisingly understandable and valid once placed against the background of the Eastern, more particularly Indian, historical context.
The world today is in the period of yuga-sandhi-the junction of two world ages that marks the historical transformation from one dharmic world to another. Yuga-sandhi is the period of stress, turmoil and general degeneration which is very evident today all around us.
Interestingly, sages and prophets of ancient ages had the vision to predict many notable developments in current history. Nostradamus prophecies are more widely known-but even the predictions of Indian sages are equally impressive, notably those of Vira Brahmendra Yogi, a contemporary of Nostradamus.
So here it is - NOSTRADAMUS AND BEYOND : VISIONS OF YUGA-SANDHI- a culturally and historically more inclusive and perhaps a different way of looking at prophets and their visions against the backdrop of the turmoil of the present age.
