<< Quote of the Day (for Mar 27):

 But there exists another book.  None of its possessors regard it
as very
ancient, as it was born with, and is only as old as the Black
Age, namely,
about 5,000 years.  In about nine years hence [from about 1888],
the first
cycle of the first five millenniums, that began with the great
cycle of the
Kali-Yuga, will end.  And then the last prophecy contained in
that book (the first volume of the prophetic record for the Black
Age) will be accomplished.  We have not long to wait, and many of
us will witness the Dawn of the New Cycle, at the end of which
not a few acounts will be settled and squared between the
races. -- Secret Doctrine Vol I intro pages xliii to xliv. By
Helena Blavatsky.

Help, intuition is sluggish this morning. Can anyone put today's
Blavatsky
quote into a simpler phrasing without loosing the essence.
Clarification of
times and dates, and,  what will be squared, between whom.
Feedback would be appreciated.
Thanks

Louis

======================================

In my study I have come across the following, which ought to be
considered individually.

"nine years hence"  probably Feb 13th 1898  (5,000 years after
Krishna's death on Feb 13th 3102 BC  (SD I 661-2 ) )

"Kali Yuga" is said to have begun at Krishna's death  (SD I 661)

"prophecy"	see SD II 300

"Dawn of the New Cycle"  - an article on this is available in
	THE THEOSOPHICAL MOVEMENT magazine, Bombay  Feb 1958.  Also

See HPB's ESOTERIC CHARACTER OF THE GOSPELS -ref. To "Messianic"
cycle of 2155 years - HPB Articles, vol. 3, p. 169fn. This is
equivalent to 1/12the of the Solar (or Sidereal) "Year" of 25,868
years.  Sun enters the sign of Aquarius.

"accounts to be settled between races"  See SD I 646  II 444 621

"Buddha's grand successor, Shankaracharya"	SD I 86 162 271 522
539fn
	SD II 637;

Some other references on Shankaracharya:

articles in THEOS. MOVEMENT Vol 15, p 105; Vol. 8, p. 104;
					Vol. 37, p. 385;
Theos. Glos HPB:  pp. 307-8 289;
5 YRS of THY (2nd Edition) p. 177 195 278;
Lucifer, Vol. 4, p. 387;
BCW 12 p. 346fn;
Theosophist I 71 89

Sorry I don't have the time to copy out all the references as I
do not know specifically what you are looking for.  If this can
be made clearer I will try and see if there is anything more.
What does your intuition suggest ?
