Keys to Understanding Our Hidden Past, Emerging Energy Age, and Enlightened Future
Sri Yukteswar, guru of Paramhansa Yogananda, presented a fascinating explanation of the rising and falling eras that our planet cycles through every 24,000 years – the cycle of the yugas. The breadth and sweep of the yugas encompasses all of history and the ancient past, providing a clear explanation for many anomalies such as the Great Pyramid, India’s Vedas and the 10,000 year old spiritual site of Gobekli Tepe. The yugas provide vital insight into our current Energy Age which is rapidly changing our world and world-view as well as bestowing greater awareness and new personal abilities on all mankind. The yugas also give us a glimpse of our enlightened future and vast untapped spiritual potential.
