Anxiety prevails in the 2012 yearly calendar. The thought of the world destruction has touched all souls. There are debates, controversies, theories regarding the 2012 yearly calendar. The Mayan fact says that there is no time beyond December 2012. On the other hand scientists are proving their point to show that there is time beyond December 2012. So, the conclusion is difficult to draw. Rather it is better to wait till December 2012 to see what exactly will happen. Actually the calendar of 2012 does show a date as World Destruction Day. Some say this to be a rumor while other says that ancient scripture has mentioned the World destruction day. The yearly calendar will be available as online calendars, wall calendars and table calendars. Let us focus on the year 2012 without taking into consideration, 21 December 2012. There are few important dates in 2012 which are worth mentioning:
Holidays in the 2012 yearly calendar.
The Zodiac prediction of 2012
Other views on 2012 There are many controversies with the year 2012. The year is marked as the end of time by the Mayan culture. Though, the Hindu scriptures depict a different picture. As per the Hindu culture, Lord Krishna marked this time as the end of Kali Yuga and he said that the Golden Age will come at the end of the same era. We can experience the Golden Age in 2012. The other view of the Mayan culture also says that the year 2012 will be the Golden Age. What surprises is the fact that the Mayan culture and the Hindu culture did not have any connection in between. The Chinese culture has symbolized the year 2012 as the year of the Dragon. In this culture the dragon is considered auspicious unlike the western culture. So we are in front of dual thinking. The year can be a Golden Age, it can be auspicious again it can be the end of the world. Scientists and scholars are researching on the topic but time will prove if 2012 can mark the end of time. Zodiac role in 2012 The moon lies in the seventh place and Jupiter is in an alignment with Mars. The sign Aquarius is ruled by Uranus and the symbol represents water. As per astrology the year 2012 is the year for Aquarius zodiac. So, we can hope for the best to happen in 2012 and let us not panic if the year will bring an end to all existence. The reason behind the anxiety of 2012 The 2012 yearly calendar has not marked the end of the world yet. But many believe that the end is not too far. There are few specific reasons for the same: The believer of this theory says that the pole shift, geomagnetic reversal or the solar storm will destroy the world On the contrary the oppositions say that these things like pole shift, geomagnetic reversal or the solar storm will not happen and they cannot destroy the world. The anxiety will remain and we have to wait till December 2012 to see what exactly follows. |
