-Vishnu has incarnated several times in the past in the form of various saviours, for the purpose of saving the earth.
-The Mayan and Hindu time tables both point to 2012 as being the beggining of a golden age. The end of the fourth world.
-With the changes to come before the golden age; there will be conflicts, fatal diseases and epidemcs, droughts, famines among other calamaties. Currently we are seeing wars and violence on a large scale world wide. The threat of new wars at any moment are ever present. This flu season has been a bad one and we have seen outbreaks of RSV, Noro virus, drug resistant Tuberculosis in L.A and a "SARS like virus" in several people in Great Britain. Last year were simultaneous outbreaks of Hanta Virus and West Nile Virus. Famines continue, as they have since the dawn of history and the central United States continues to experience a drought (that has lasted several years) despite rain and snow storms over the last several weeks.
-India will become desolate by calamaties. India and Pakistan have a history of conflict, that has on more then one occasion almost lead to nuclear war.
