Ancient Gods and the year 2012

My book “Ancient Gods and Their Mysteries: Will They Return in 2012 AD?” paid little attention to the eastern religions because they are so alien to most westerners.  However, recent revelations from UFO abductees which warn of a coming mass destruction remind me of the Hindu gods and especially Shiva the Destroyer.  A brief introduction may help.

At the beginning of the creation of the world, Vishnu became threefold; Creator, Preserver and Destroyer.  The god Brahma was created by Vishnu and is worshipped as god the Creator.

Vishnu also created Shiva the Destroyer.  Vishnu’s main role is as the Preserver, although he is also known as all three persons: Creator, Preserver and Destroyer (A Trinity).  These three important roles are key to much of the Hindu gods, and describe their main activities on earth.  The gods act thru long periods of time called ages.  We currently live in the fourth and last age, the decadent and material Kali Age which started on 3100 BC, about the same time as the Mayan fifth and last age.  The ancient Vedic scriptures give us a sign for the pending end of the last age.

A reincarnation of the god Vishnu will be born as a human called Kalki the Fulfiller, who will come riding on a white horse and holding a sword blazing like a comet.  He will punish the evil-doers and comfort the virtuous.  Then he will destroy the world.  Later, from the ruins of the earth, a new mankind will arise (Ref. ’The Myths and Gods of India”).

This ancient sanskrit theology agrees with my essay on “The Berringer Theory“.  A flaming comet could destroy most humans in 2012.  A righteous remnant will survive with the help of the gods.  Supernatural beings which the Hindu’s call Nagas will help.  They are shape changers, usually seen as human or half human and half serpent.  Well illustrated at Ankor Wat, the cobra -kings should return to earth soon.  The first and greatest of the Nagas is Sesha the remainder, usually pictured as a large seven-headed serpent.

Vishnu and Sesha preserve life from age to age.

When creation is withdrawn it cannot entirely cease to be, there must remain in a subtle form (DNA?), the germ of all that has been and will be so that the world will rise again.  It is this remainder which is embodied in the serpent floating on the limitless ocean (of space) and forming the couch on which the hibernating Vishnu sleeps (between creations).  Ibid.

The Hindu recurring themes of regeneration by preservation following destruction remind me of evolution.  Most creation of new species on earth has occurred following mass extinctions.  Thank you Vishnu and Sesha.  Skeptics should research the mass extinction of mammoths and most large mammals due to a comet which hit the Hudson Bay about 11,000 BC, the end of the second Mayan Age of Man.
