The Yugas

David Steinmetz, Joseph Selbie

Description

Millions are wondering what the future holds for mankind, and if we are soon due for a world-changing global shift. Paramhansa Yogananda (author of the classic Autobiography of a Yogi) and his teacher, Sri Yukteswar, offered key insights into this subject. They presented a fascinating explanation of the rising and falling eras that our planet cycles through every 24,000 years. According to their teachings, we have recently passed through the low ebb in that cycle and are moving to a higher age—an Energy Age that will revolutionize the world. Over one hundred years ago Yukteswar predicted that we would live in a time of extraordinary change, and that much that we believe to be fixed and true—our entire way of looking at the world — would be transformed and uplifted. In The Yugas, authors Joseph Selbie and David Steinmetz present substantial and intriguing evidence from the findings of historians and scientists that demonstrate the truth of Yukteswar’s and Yogananda’s revelations.

Praise for The Yugas

“An amazing, mind-expanding investigation of the hidden cycles underlying the rise and fall of civilizations. I found e Yugas only intellectually convincing but also spiritually and emotionally not uplifting and deeply healing as well. Despite the dark signs of the times we live in there is hope here for all of us.” — Graham Hancock, author ofFingerprints of the Gods

“ e Yugas  by Joseph Selbie and David Steinmetz provides a perceptive analysis of history from the height of the lastSatya Yuga(Spiritual Age) of circa 11,500 B.C. to our present age. Just as importantly, the authors discuss trends and developments that we may anticipate over the next 10,000 years as the cycle of the yugas comes full circle. e Yugas  integrates and synthesizes disparate facts and apparent anomalies that are often ignored. This is a profound book on a profound subject. Intelligently written and fascinating, it provides new revelations on the unfolding of human potential over the course of millennia. — Robert M. Schoch, PhD, author ofPyramid Quest: Secrets of the Great Pyramid and theDawn of Civilization

“Move over Copernicus, another revolution is underway! The Yugas will not only change the way we look at history, it will change the way we see ourselves and the world around us. This is a wisdom whose time has come. The startling revelations and sweeping vision of Selbie and Steinmetz deliver a story so timeless it will challenge and inspire generations to come!” —Walter Cruttenden, author ofLost Star of Myth and Time

“This book may change your view of history and your understanding of the future. e Yugas by Selbie and Steinmetz reveals the little known teachings of Sri Yukteswar and Paramhansa Yogananda regarding the cycles of humankind’s cultural, social, and spiritual evolution — which differs greatly from the history of civilization to be found in our present textbook dogmas. The cycles of enlightenment that Sri Yukteswar began teaching nearly 120 years ago — and many of the discoveries that he predicted — are now being verified by modern science. The coming of the great Energy Age taught by the master teacher Sri Yukteswar and his most famous disciple Paramhansa Yogananda promises an enlightened future for all who recognize the coming of a raising of consciousness for the human species. Selbie and Steinmetz have produced a text that is both well-researched and an exciting, informative read.” — Brad Steiger, author ofWorlds Before Our Ownand Sherry Steiger, author of Indian Wisdom and Its Guiding Power

“The book casts an important new light on the history and evolution of the human race and the mysteries of the great cycles of time that we must all honor. All those who want to understand our species and the hidden cosmic influences that govern our lives will benefit from its detailed examination. Those who study the book carefully will come away with a transformed vision of our world and its spiritual potentials.” — David Frawley (Pandit Vamadeva Shastri), author ofAstrology of the Seersand Yoga and Ayurveda

“ e Yugas by Selbie and Steinmetz is an excellent and easy read that challenges the notion that ancient man was simplistic and unaccomplished, within the framework first put forth by Swami Sri Yukteswar in The Holy Science.” — Michael Kane, host of Distopian Times

“e Yugas us with a glimpse into the future. Not only mankind’s future, but also our own presents personal future, as we journey through our way to enlightenment. An understanding of these cycles of Yugasas a natural process of growth and development, and not of wars and perpetual suffering, un-blurs our vision of our inner potential. Taken from the teachings of Sri Yukteswar and his student, Paramhansa Yogananda, The Yugas is a profound gift from a great master and his beloved disciple.”

— Robert R. Hieronimus, PhD, host of 21st Century Radio, author ofUnited Symbolism of America

“Steinmetz and Selbie are to be congratulated in their brilliant attempt to change the course of our stereotyped thinking about cosmology, ancient history, and modern science…. All over the ancient world we find quantum leaps of the intellect far beyond the concepts we have about that age. How and why do these occur? The authors of this book have delved deep into the esoteric secrets of many ancient traditions and come up with their own unique contribution to the nature of these strange occurrences.” — Mata Devi Vanamali, Vanamali Ashram, Rishikesh, author ofThe Play of God

“This consciousness-raising study, which presents a profound and necessary challenge to conventional science, is a vital addition to the growing recognition among independent researchers that ancient civilizations were often far more technologically or spiritually advanced than we are today…. In an indispensable work, both intellectually and emotionally satisfying, Selbie and Steinmetz bring us a stirring new paradigm which reveals how our power to transform ourselves is the measure of our power to transform the world in accordance with the cosmic pattern.” — Geoff Ward, host of Mysterious Planet, author ofSpirals: the Pattern of Existence

“Selbie and Steinmetz have given us a thesis that is uncompromisingly accurate in its chronicle of significant events and their correspondence to the yugas — cycles of human consciousness — in which they occurred. What emerges is an astonishing, compelling, and altogether enlightened view of evolution itself.” —James Surendra Conti, East-West Bookstore

“This potentially transformational book … contains the most incisive and useful information on these cosmic epochs that I have ever seen…. Information is power, and in this case, interpretation and explanation is power — power toward personal transformation. The great wisdom of Yukteswar and Yogananda, which has been revered and uplifted by Yogananda’s disciple Kriyananda, is thus passed down through the ages.” — Katherine Diehl, journalist

“After years of intensive research, Selbie and Steinmetz have turned their findings into a complete and comprehensive whole with some amazing and revolutionary looks on human history — and have brought to light long-forgotten wisdom of ancient civilizations far more advanced than previously thought in spirituality, philosophy, and maybe even science. If you are interested in the history of humanity and the anticipations and possible enrichments that their teachings might bring us, both now and in the future, then this book is definitely a must-read.” —A. G. M. Pietrow, Founder ofParascientifica.com

“ e Yugas the optimistic view that the rapid changes that we see in our times are inexorably presents leading us to a better day for humanity; we are at just the beginning of a journey through a series of ascending epochs, during which the expression of mankind will only improve.” —Alexandra Bruce, author of2012: Science or SuperstitionandBeyond the Bleep

“e Yugas is a brilliantly written text based on extensive historical research validating the theory of the ages of human development proposed by Swami Sri Yukteswar inThe Holy Science. This book provides us with an optimistic view of our future as we leave the remnants ofKali Yugaor the dark age in our past. The Yugasthe current electrical age of explores Dwapara Yuga. This enlightening age brings the opportunity of illumination and peace on our planet as we navigate toward the divine light of the central Sun.” — Dennis M. Harness, PhD, Vedic Astrologer, writer, and author of The Nakshatras: The Lunar Mansions of Vedic Astrology

“ The Yugas gave me a glimpse of the sweeping panorama of the ages. My mind shifted. My consciousness was transformed. If you are at all interested in where humanity has been and where we are headed, I highly recommend that you read this book.”

— Richard Salva, author ofThe Reincarnation of Abraham LincolnandWalking with William of Normandy
