Almost every ancient culture believed that human civilization and consciousness has progressively declined since an erstwhile Golden Age till the current age of greed and lies, discord and strife, called the Kali Yuga. But when does the Kali Yuga end? And what happens after that? In this extensively researched book, Bibhu Dev Misra has delineated the common threads that run through the Yuga Cycle doctrines of ancient cultures, taking the aid of scientific discoveries wherever available. His reconstruction of the original Yuga Cycle framework indicates that the end of the Kali Yuga is just around the corner - in 2025! Within a span of just 15 years, by the year 2040, the Kali Yuga civilization is likely to collapse due to a combination of global wars, environmental catastrophes and comet impacts. The survivors will inherit a renewed earth, bathed in the divine light of the Central Sun. Is there any scientific evidence in support of the Yuga Cycle? What drives the sinusoidal fluctuation in our physical size and consciousness in course of the Yuga Cycle? Why do cataclysmic obliteration of civilizations occur after every Yuga? What do we make of the end-time prophecies which tell of a Savior or Avatar returning at the end of the Kali Yuga? These are some of the key questions addressed in this book. This riveting and thought-provoking work contains one of the most important messages of our time.

Hinduism cannot be understood without the Great Goddess and the goddess-orientated Śākta traditions. The Goddess pervades Hinduism at all levels, from aniconic village deities to high-caste pan-Hindu goddesses to esoteric, tantric goddesses. Nevertheless, the highly influential tantric forms of South Asian goddess worship have only recently begun to draw scholarly attention. This book addresses the increasing interest in the Great Goddess and the tantric traditions of India by exploring the history, doctrine and practices of the Śākta tantric traditions. The highly influential tantric forms of South Asian goddess worship form a major part of what is known as ‘Śāktism’, and is often considered one of the major branches of Hinduism next to Śaivism, Vaiṣṇavism and Smārtism. Śāktism is, however, less clearly defined than the other major branches, and the book looks at the texts of the Śākta traditions that constitute the primary sources for gaining insights into the Śākta religious imaginative, ritual practices and history. It provides an historical exploration of distinctive Indian ways of imagining God as Goddess, and surveys the important origins and developments within Śākta history, practice and doctrine in its diversity. Bringing together contributions from some of the foremost scholars in the field of tantric studies, the book provides a platform for the continued research into Hindu goddesses, yoga, and tantra for those interested in understanding the religion and culture in South Asia.

Rishivram, the mysterious Himalayan location. These steep slopes and swirling mists are home to renowned yogis, sadhus, and siddhas. Their ghosts are mentioned in old stories. Rishivram is not merely a place to reside, but also a spiritual destination for seekers. According to rishis, Rishivram is a sacred site, the centre of spiritual knowledge, and the core of divinity. Many people brush it off as fiction. Abhivarta, Praskanva, Rahugana, and an unidentified fourth person watch over Rishivram. Beyond the peaceful borders of Rishivram is a kingdom plagued by a slowly creeping sickness that could wipe out everything. A courageous warrior from the Haihayas, Ahura risks his life to inform the sacred location of his king's demise. Death and despondency are the results of a horrible sickness. Young people become depressed at night and lose energy in the rush. The warrior Brahmin Aatreya is asked for assistance by the enlightened Rishis of Rishivram. Aatreya embarks on the perilous route to discover the cure, following a ray of hope. Aatreya discovers with horror that the kingdom's troubles originated at the sacred site of Rishivram. Because the elixir promises unfathomable power, demons hide. Their malevolent intentions jeopardise the fragile balance of existence. Aatreya has to overcome treachery and deceit in a race against time, all the while fighting adversaries and confronting his own uncertainties. Rishivram's celestial rooms contain both the threat of power and salvation. The risk of this epic of forgiveness and fortitude is kingdoms. The enchantment of Rishivram binds fate.
