In my last episode, I shared an essay titled "The Kali Yuga Reaches Its Grand Finale", which I wrote as the introduction to my forthcoming new book "The Coming World Nation". As I was doing research for it, I came across the work of scholar Bibhu Dev Misra, who recently published a groundbreaking study of the Hindu Yuga system called "Yuga Shift". In his book, Bibhu offers an innovative new approach to dating the timeline of the Yuga cycle and we discuss this in detail in a recent interview I conducted with him. In our chat, we focus in particular on dissecting the timeline and themes of the Kali Yuga, the "dark age" of the Yuga Cycle, which mankind has been trapped in for millennia but which Bibhu calculates is soon to be reaching its final end.
