Came upon this article in about.com. The Mayans had a long and accurate calendar which lasts till 2012 (about 5000 years). The calendar is very accurate and it seems somethings going to happen on Dec 21, 2012.



As usual, Hindu astronomy has been there and done that. We have the Kaliyuga's Golden Age coming up on that day.







Wait and watch :)

Golden Age to begin in 2012

From David Hedges

Mayan Calendar Corroborates Hindu Prophecy

In the “Brahma-Vaivarta Purana”, Lord Krishna tells Ganga Devi that a Golden Age will come in the Kali Yuga
- one of the four stages of development that the world goes through as
part of the cycle of eras, as described in Hindu scriptures. Lord
Krishna predicted that this Golden Age will start 5,000 years after the
beginning of the Kali Yuga, and will last for 10,000 years.

Mayan Calendar Matches Hindu Calendar


It is interesting that this prediction of the emergence of a new world
is prophesied to appear about the same time that the Mayans predicted
it to come! The Mayan calendar began with the Fifth Great Cycle in 3114 BC and will end on 21 December 2012 AD.

The Hindu Kali Yuga calendar began on 18 February 3102 B.C. There is
only a difference of 12 years between the Hindu's beginning of the Kali
Yuga and the Mayan's beginning of the Fifth Great Cycle.

Golden Age Could Begin in 2012


The ancient Hindus mainly used lunar calendars but also used solar
calendars. If an average lunar year equals 354.36 days, then this would
be about 5270 lunar years from the time when the Kali Yuga started
until 21 Dec 2012. This is the same year that the Mayans predict
rebirth of our planet. It is also about 5113 solar years of 365.24 days
per year, and is day number 1,867,817 into the Kali Yuga. By either
solar or lunar years, we are over 5,000 years into the Kali Yuga and it
is time for Lord Krishna's prophecy to happen according to the ancient
Hindu scriptures. Lord Krishna's Golden Age could easily begin in 2012!

Mayan Prophecy Matches Hindu Prophecy


It is amazing that both calendars began at about the same time over
5,000 years ago and both calendars predict a totally new world and/or
golden age after about 5,000 years into their calendars! We are
definitely on to something with these Mayan and Hindu 2012 predictions.
Historically, this is an amazing fact since these two ancient cultures
did not have any contact.
