Maybe we could put our heads together and come up with a PR plan for a
target audience. For example, new agers, hindus, alternative science people
et cetera.

Dean,
Of course I would like to help with the above idea, but quite honestly I do not know how I could contribute from here.
For some time I had thought about how little info we Germans have on this subject, also on the internet. Your contributions on your web-site are really super and maybe I could translate some of your writings which you would want me to translate into German and I would send the translation back to you and this way you could also reach a German target audience. I am a translater by profession. What do you think of this idea ?
I have another question which I have been thinking about lately. In the new age movement circulates the idea that we are at the beginning of the Age of Aquarius and, after a lot of upheaval on our earth, we will enter a kind of Golden Age around 2012. According to the Vedic scriptures, as I understand, we are at the moment in the Kali Yuga, the iron age, but Kali Yuga will carry on for a lot longer (was it several hundreds, if not thousands of years?, I have not the exact info here at the moment). How do you see this ?

Maya,
I was under the impression that all Germans knew a good bit of English, at
least written English. Do the German people really need translations? If so,
then I think that a site in German would be nice. The site could give this
list some exposure, or the site could eventually be connected with a list in
German that you could do. The list members here could back you up if you had
questions, and I think that Frode speaks some Deutsch. I think that those
Veda/Purana articles would be a natural group, and the Arctic articles would
be another.
I have another question which I have been thinking about lately. In the
new
age movement circulates the idea that we are at the beginning of the Age
of
Aquarius and, after a lot of upheaval on our earth, we will enter a kind
of
Golden Age around 2012. According to the Vedic scriptures, as I
understand,
we are at the moment in the Kali Yuga, the iron age, but Kali Yuga will
carry on for a lot longer (was it several hundreds, if not thousands of
years?, I have not the exact info here at the moment). How do you see this
?
The Vedas have a lot of momentum behind them, I feel inclined towards their
version. To enter anything like an age of Aquarius, we would have to change
the nature and values of human beings on this planet, and that can't happen
anytime soon. I think that much of our mentality has to do with being
exposed to unrefined radiations, especially the unrefined radiations of the
sun. So how could an age of Aquarius come about?
this upheaval and Golden Age is expected by New Agers since 1968 as far
as I know.
Just the date moves on and on... My friend, a Vedic astrologer, says
that Age of Aquarius will astronomically begin only after 450 years.
Kali-yuga has also ups and downs, so to say. Taken as a winter, there
are sometimes temporary meltings. Scriptures say this Kali-yuga is
special among all the 1000 Kali-yugas in one kalpa (Brahma's day)
because hidden avatar, Sri Caitanya, appears 'soon' after its beginning.
His appearance 515 years ago in India marked the beginning of one such
reversal to the better which should last 10,000 years in toto.
