The Vedic Prophecies: A New Look into the Future

Rating:
Summary: Some interesting concepts.
Review: This book seems to follow the standard Vedic lines without questioning them at all. One fact that kind of bugged me was how long Kali-yuga is to last... 426,000 years! Ok, this is the shortest of the 4 yugas and it is the 4th one. That would make it impossible for us to be in this yuga. To me, this simply suggests that we have our time frames wrong or atleast encoded.

The facts like this divert your attention very quickly away from what is otherwise a very good book.

The book does contain "unedited" teachings of the cycles of the world/universe and preditions of the future and even what some of the prophecies that have occurred. It is also a very good reference that puts together a lot of the stories that many people have heard of and are now in danger of being forgotten.

For me, it even served as a historical reference. Much the first few pages explain the different incarnations of God/teachers and what their roles were. This list includes Krishna, Rama, Buddha and most of the others. That is something that I have had difficulty finding elsewhere.
