Salyavin, By that measure, human beings must have been on earth longer than 6,000 years, which is the estimate for the creation of humans here on this planet, according to the Creationist believers. According to the vedic cycle of time, humans were wiser and lived longer during the Golden Age or Sat Yuga.
By Yukteswar's reckoning, the last Sat Yuga was about 12,500 years ago during the Age of Leo. That was when the spring equinox occurred when the sun was in the sign of Leo. But, given the myths indicated in the vedas, the earth might have gone through several of these cycles already. So, when did humans actually appear on earth? That's a discussion for another day. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <no_re...@yahoogroups.com> wrote : ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <jr_esq@...> wrote : When he reaches 75, he'll write another article about how he hopes to die at 95.
