In the beginning there was the prediction about the end. For most, that’s what the Mayan calendar might indicate. But that the year 2012 being the year that will mark the end of the world has been much debated across the globe.
Preparing for 2012, the latest book by the Manasa Light Age Foundation, written by Raghavendra Somayaji and guided by Guruju Krishnananda explores the topic of 2012 from a spiritual angle. According to them, the primary intention of the book is not to dole out information about the events that are likely to take place in the year 2012, but to throw light on the belief that the world will not see an end in the year 2012, and that it will be the year of opportunities for spiritual transformation.
Last year, Manasa Light Age Foundation had come out with another book on the same topic. Titled, 2012, End or Beginning, the book saw them dealing with the topic for the first time. Preparing for 2012 takes the next step and gives clear guidelines that can be used to sail through the year of spiritual transformation.
In the quaint campus of Manasa Light Age Foundation, Guruji Krishnananda is immersed in his habitual early morning session of meditation.
Meditation, he says will equip one to open up and receive the new energies flooding the earth. “We will enter the photon belt in 2012,” he says. The Photon Belt is a pseudo-scientific belief that says that a belt of photons will cover the Earth, which will result in spiritual awakening. “The photon belt will bring new energies.
It won’t accept the corrupt ways of the world. The systems that are not right, will either change or collapse,” he says. And in order not to collapse, one has to change, and the change begins now, according to him.
The Mayan calendar comes to an end on Sunday, December 23, 2012. “But that does not mean the end of the world. The Mayan calendar is divided into seven ages. The seventh stage will see a spiritual upheaval. It’s not just the Mayan calendar, the Vedas also talk about that,” he adds.
The idea that prompted him to come up with the book stemmed from the thought that everyone can be equipped for the changes he believes will happen in the world. “We cannot be sure what exactly will happen.
Maybe a catastrophe. But in the end it will bring about a spiritual change for the better,” he points out.
Ask him on what basis he draws these conclusion from, and he says, “Spiritual.” And by that, he means, meditation, astral methods, light channeling and such new age practices. “We have to go beyond the grasp of the intellect. That is how even the Vedas were written,” he signs off.
