Peak Dehumanisation.. Slime Culture

 Peak Dehumanisation: From Slime Culture to a Call Back to the Roots


Pradeep Das with ChatGPT


A gallon bottle of white school glue sits on a table in California. Beside it is a small bottle of fluorescent slime activator. Children mix the two, add colours and glitter, knead the resulting goo, stretch it, squeeze it, photograph it, watch other children doing the same thing on screens, and participate in what has become a substantial cultural and commercial phenomenon.


At first sight, there is nothing particularly profound here. Children have always loved messy play.


Yet the scene can also serve as a small window into something much larger.


Fluorescent culture. Plastic culture. Peak Dehumanisation.


Not because slime is particularly dangerous, nor because children should be prevented from enjoying it. The significance lies elsewhere. An elementary human need—the child's desire to touch, manipulate, experiment, create and soothe herself through tactile experience—has increasingly been transformed into an industrial product.


What nature once supplied freely through mud, sand, clay, water, leaves, wood and soil, industrial civilisation increasingly manufactures, packages, markets and sells back to us.


And remarkably, even this seemingly innocent children's pastime leads us directly back to fossil fuels.


From Oil Well to Children's Play


Ordinary white school glue is largely a water-based synthetic polymer adhesive. Polyvinyl acetate and related polymer chemistry ultimately belong to the vast petrochemical material system created during the fossil-fuel age.


Follow the conventional industrial chain backwards and the connection becomes visible:


Slime → polymer glue → vinyl acetate → ethylene and industrial chemical feedstocks → petrochemical industry → oil and natural gas.


Then consider everything surrounding the substance: plastic bottles, fluorescent pigments, packaging, transportation, warehouses, retail stores, online distribution and eventual disposal.


The humble bottle of children's glue therefore illustrates one of the central propositions of Climocalypse:


> Fossil fuels did not merely provide modern civilisation with energy. They created much of its material culture.




Our clothes contain synthetic fibres. Our houses contain plastics, paints, insulation and adhesives. Our food comes wrapped in polymers. Our cars, hospitals, electronics and furniture contain petrochemical materials. Even childhood itself has increasingly acquired a petrochemical dimension.


The fossil-fuel civilisation is therefore far deeper than petrol pumps and power stations.


It surrounds us.


And increasingly, it enters our imagination.


From Mud to Manufactured Goo


There is an irony here.


The attraction children feel towards slime is profoundly natural. Human children evolved through tactile engagement with the physical world. They dug soil, splashed water, shaped mud, climbed trees, handled stones, played with animals and discovered the properties of matter directly.


The need is ancient.


Only the medium has changed.


We have progressively separated children from the natural environment and then created industrial substitutes for experiences that nature once provided.


This suggests a disturbing cultural progression:


Nature

Separation from nature

Artificial stimulation

Overstimulation

Stress and restlessness

Manufactured soothing


The modern child may move from school to organized sport, tuition, television, tablet, gaming, short-form video, social media, ASMR and sensory products—one stimulus following another.


There is less room for one of childhood's historically important experiences:


nothing happening.


Boredom once compelled imagination.


A stick became a sword. A tree became a castle. Stones became armies. Mud became architecture.


When every empty psychological space can instantly be filled by a device, product or organized activity, the child has fewer opportunities to discover what consciousness itself can produce.


This is not principally an indictment of children.


It is an indictment of the world adults have constructed around them.


The Economy of Restlessness


Modern consumer civilisation has discovered something enormously profitable: human restlessness.


First stimulate desire.


Then sell something to satisfy it.


Create another desire.


Sell again.


The economic system depends upon maintaining the distance between what we have and what we think we need.


Digital technology has intensified the process because stimulation no longer needs to wait for the shopping mall. It can reach us every waking minute.


Novelty, notification, entertainment, advertising, outrage, desire and distraction circulate continuously.


Then another industry arises to help us cope with the consequences: wellness products, relaxation apps, sensory toys, sleep technologies, digital detox programmes.


The contradiction is extraordinary.


> We have constructed an extraordinarily stimulating civilisation—and then built industries to help human beings calm themselves inside it.




Slime is harmless enough in isolation. But symbolically it fits beautifully into this strange economy: industrial civilisation manufactures stimulation and simultaneously manufactures soothing.


Peak Dehumanisation


This is what I mean by Peak Dehumanisation.


Not some particular year in which humanity suddenly ceases to be human.


It describes a direction of travel.


Human functions that were once embedded within family, community, nature and the self are progressively outsourced to markets and machines.


We outsource memory to devices.


Navigation to GPS.


Entertainment to algorithms.


Social contact to platforms.


Physical activity to gyms.


Food production to distant industrial systems.


Care increasingly becomes an industry.


Attention becomes a commodity.


And now artificial intelligence is beginning to assume intellectual and creative functions that only recently appeared uniquely human.


Technology can unquestionably liberate human beings. Modern medicine, sanitation, communications, scientific knowledge and countless technologies represent extraordinary achievements. Climocalypse therefore need not advocate technological rejection.


The danger begins when technology ceases to serve human life and human life begins reorganising itself around technology.


Automation without awareness can become another form of ignorance.


The question is therefore no longer simply:


What can technology do?


It is:


What should human beings continue doing for themselves?


Kaliyuga as a Metaphor for Civilisational Restlessness


There is another way of interpreting this predicament.


In the language of Sanatan Dharma, our condition bears many characteristics traditionally associated with Kaliyuga: acceleration, desire, materialism, conflict, confusion, weakening social bonds and loss of discrimination between what is valuable and what is merely attractive.


One need not treat this as a scientifically measurable historical chronology to appreciate its philosophical power.


It describes a civilisation dominated by rajas—movement, ambition, acquisition, stimulation and restless desire—with periodic descent into tamas: exhaustion, numbness, alienation and despair.


Modern consumer civilisation has become extraordinarily capable of satisfying desires.


Yet it has not learned how to stop producing them.


That distinction may prove crucial.


The ecological crisis is partly the physical manifestation of the same psychological process.


Endless desire becomes endless consumption.

Endless consumption requires endless extraction.

Endless extraction requires enormous energy.

Enormous fossil-energy use destabilises the biosphere.


Thus psychology, economics, energy and climate are not separate crises.


They form a system.


This has been one of the deeper arguments running through Climocalypse: climate change cannot ultimately be understood independently of the civilisation that produced it.


The Fossil-Fuel Bargain


For roughly two centuries, humanity has enjoyed access to extraordinary quantities of concentrated ancient energy.


That energy enabled mechanised agriculture, global transportation, industrial manufacturing, megacities, aviation, mass tourism, plastics, fertilisers, pharmaceuticals, telecommunications and the extraordinarily complicated global supply networks upon which billions of people now depend.


But there was a bargain hidden inside this abundance.


Complexity increased.


Dependency increased.


Consumption increased.


Population increased.


Ecological pressure increased.


And the atmospheric consequences accumulated.


The problem therefore extends far beyond replacing petrol cars with electric cars or coal plants with solar panels. Those transitions are important, but the deeper question is:


Can a civilisation constructed around ever-increasing material throughput continue indefinitely on a finite planet?


The answer may require something far more profound than an energy transition.


It may require a cultural transition.


Climocalypse Is Also a Crisis of Meaning


Climate disruption, biodiversity loss, resource pressures, wars, migration, economic instability, technological disruption and social fragmentation are usually studied separately.


But Climocalypse has increasingly led me towards another interpretation.


They are interconnected symptoms of a civilisation that has exceeded limits—ecological limits certainly, but perhaps psychological and spiritual limits as well.


Human beings cannot live permanently at maximum speed.


Nor can ecosystems.


The Global Signals approach consequently becomes more than monitoring temperature, oceans, food, energy, economics and conflict. The combined signals invite another question:


What kind of civilisation is producing these signals?


And after diagnosis comes the more important question:


How should we live in the world that is emerging?


Back to the Roots


My answer is increasingly simple:


Back to the Roots.


This does not mean returning nostalgically to some imaginary golden past.


It does not mean abandoning hospitals, computers, scientific research, electricity or modern communications.


It means practising what might be called selective modernity.


Keep what genuinely enlarges human possibility.


Medicine.


Science.


Knowledge.


Sanitation.


Useful communications.


Appropriate renewable technologies.


Tools that reduce genuine suffering.


But simultaneously recover capacities that industrial abundance has weakened:


local food production; walking; repairing things; practical skills; intergenerational family life; neighbourhood cooperation; community; contact with animals and soil; contemplation; silence; voluntary simplicity; and the ability to experience contentment without continually purchasing something.


We may discover that resilience in an age of Climocalypse looks surprisingly traditional.


Smaller communities.


Food grown nearby.


Reliable local water.


Less material consumption.


Lower energy dependence.


Stronger families.


Mutual assistance.


Manual competence.


Closer contact with the seasons.


And periods of simply doing nothing.


This is not primitivism.


It is redundancy and resilience.


A household that can cook, repair, grow some food, conserve water and function temporarily without complex external systems possesses forms of resilience that a technologically sophisticated but completely dependent household may lack.


The Village Reconsidered


For much of the twentieth century, development meant leaving villages behind.


Perhaps the twenty-first century will force us to reconsider what villages knew.


Not the poverty, caste oppression, inadequate medicine or lack of opportunity that often accompanied traditional village life. Those should not be romanticised.


But villages also possessed characteristics that modern societies may urgently need: proximity to food and water, community interdependence, lower material requirements, repair cultures, intergenerational knowledge and direct relationships with the ecological systems supporting life.


The future resilient community might therefore be neither traditional village nor modern metropolis.


It could combine the best of both:


ancient resilience + modern knowledge.


This may become particularly important if climate extremes, energy stresses, supply-chain interruptions, migration and geopolitical instability increasingly interact.


The objective is not to escape civilisation.


It is to make civilisation more survivable and more human.


From Resilience to Spirituality


Eventually the argument moves beyond economics and ecology.


Civilisational resilience asks:


How much do we actually need to live well?


Spiritual inquiry asks:


How much do we actually need to be whole?


The questions begin to converge.


Advaita takes the inquiry still further.


If fulfilment ultimately cannot be obtained through accumulating external objects, then consumer civilisation is pursuing an impossible objective. There can never be enough products to satisfy a consciousness whose dissatisfaction originates somewhere deeper.


The ecological doctrine of sufficiency and the spiritual doctrine of contentment unexpectedly meet.


Consume less.


Need less.


Fear less.


Compete less.


Be more.


Perhaps humanity's ecological predicament cannot be solved solely through better machines because part of the predicament originates in the consciousness operating the machines.


Rehumanisation


And therefore Peak Dehumanisation need not be the end of the story.


It can provoke its opposite:


Rehumanisation


Put children back in contact with soil.


Let them climb trees.


Let them make things.


Let them become bored.


Let families eat together.


Let grandparents tell stories.


Let communities know their neighbours.


Let technology occasionally become silent.


Let us relearn how to repair instead of discard.


Let us distinguish convenience from necessity.


Let us recover the extraordinary experience of having enough.


And yes—let the children play with slime sometimes.


The point is not to demonise a bottle of glue.


The bottle merely helped reveal the civilisation surrounding it.


A fluorescent blob of polymer on a California table unexpectedly traces a line through petrochemicals, fossil energy, consumerism, social media, childhood overstimulation, ecological overshoot, Climocalypse, Kaliyuga and finally the ancient human search for contentment.


Perhaps that is why something so trivial disturbed me.


It represented, in miniature, how far we have travelled from the elemental world from which Homo sapiens emerged.


The solution is not to turn history backwards.


It is to decide consciously what deserves to travel forward with us.


And so the entire argument can perhaps be distilled into seven words:


> Not back to the past. Back to what is essential.




Preserve what is valuable in civilisation.


Reduce what is unnecessary.


Restore what we have lost.


Prepare for what is coming.


And rediscover what it means simply to be human.

Climate Change Stress and Health

 Written on 10th December 2018

We are living through most trying times of our civilisation. The past 20 years have been amongst the 22 hottest years of the planet. 2018 has been a roller coaster of a year with record number of extreme climate change events across the globe. We are living through Dicken’s “It was best of times, it was the worst of times…” redux. Global capitalism is peaking in all spheres epitomized by urbanization, cars, air travel, consumerism, technological advancement, mobiles, telecommunication, internet, entertainment, energy use, etc. Parallelly we are paying a Faustian price for it in terms of global warming, drought, heatwaves, melting arctic and glaciers, storms, precipitation, flooding, wildfires, atmospheric and ocean pollution, sea level rise and extreme climate events.

 

Almost 200 countries are meeting in Katowice, Poland at COP24 to finalise the practical implementation of 2015 Paris Agreement. This meeting assumes significance especially in the wake of the recent IPCC special report on limiting global warming and US National Climate Assessment report. Like the preceding COP meetings hope of any magical solutions emerging from the current COP24 are receding fast with five days left. Few countries have not been very helpful in ironing differences led by US and Russia.

 

A slew of extreme climate events has been occurring with accelerating tempo over the past few years which now reinforces the rather despairing prognosis that we are possibly hurtling towards a climate collapse scenario much earlier. This was the most inconvenient truth[1] which all of us are refusing to face. Eventual climate collapse is like mass societal death which human beings do not like to contemplate. We are too busy in our materialistic lives never wanting to admit to ourselves about the impermanence of life.

 

Denial is the stock reaction of most people when confronted with the inevitability of climate change and collapse. Hence, it’s difficult to drum up sizeable support for climate change social groups. Psychoanalysts like Sally Weintrobe (Engaging with Climate Change) are trying to adopt a multidisciplinary approach to helping overcome denial and avowal. 

 

In view of the bleak scenario where carbon and methane emissions are poised to rise further or at best stay stable till 2030, it is high time for us to plan and implement measures for coping with gradually worsening climate. It will be poor who will be most impacted by accelerating climate change. Percentage of people living in poverty ranges from 40% to 80% depending upon how we define poverty.  

 

Health is a major area where society’s ability to cope with accelerating climate change will be most sorely tested. We are witnessing rise in death due the climate and environment factors like pollution, dwindling fresh and potable water, inadequate sewage systems, flooding, heatwaves, etc. Human stress is increasing especially among the poor. Stress is considered a major trigger[2] for several diseases like cardiovascular, asthma, obesity, diabetes, headaches, gastro-intestinal, common cold, etc. many of which are non-communicable.

 

There is already a strain on the existing healthcare systems. The better hospitals attract the best doctors and cater to the higher income groups. There is an urgent need for building up wide scale paramedical infrastructure with trained paramedical staff to treat those without medical insurance. India has launched recently a novel social healthcare for treating poorer sections of society “Ayushman Bharat Yojana Scheme”[3]. The rationale of the Scheme was that the existing primary health care were focused on reproductive, maternal, newborn, child and adolescent health and communicable diseases, while non-communicable diseases accounted for nearly 62% of deaths among men and 52% among women. The low-income earners had to pay high, sometimes catastrophic, out of pocket medical and hospitalization expenses often resulting in their penury and ruin.  

 

The strategy behind rolling out the Scheme was to offer a comprehensive need-based health care package instead of the traditional sectoral and segmented based health service system. The Scheme’s objective was to spectrum of healthcare services at the primary, secondary and tertiary levels. The twin component of the scheme offers health protection covers up to Rs 500,000 per annum per family ($ 7,150) for poor and vulnerable sections. Some of the features of the Ayushman Scheme are portability across India, cashless benefits at any public or private empaneled hospitals. It has a strong IT platform which is paperless, cashless and even integrates with mobiles for capture of member information, etc. Once it stabilizes in India, it could be replicated in other places.

 

Though the Scheme is an innovative one, its success will depend on the passion with which it is implemented. Unfortunately, social health care systems have not succeeded in most of the poor parts of the world like Africa and Asia. In India too, the present primary health centres are not effective in meeting the complex healthcare needs. For serious and chronic health problems in rural areas they have to rely upon district level government hospitals or private nursing homes. Unless government hospitals are manned by better doctors and nurses, most of the poor have to bear higher expenses for medical treatment in private sector clinics.

 

In view of this, there is an urgent need to take a fresh look at social healthcare. Both the public and private sectors need to work hand in hand. Doctors and nurses as part of their career should be mandated to serve in rural areas and in government hospitals which cannot pay attractive emoluments as in the private sector. The private sector should be forced as part of their corporate social responsibilities to invest and spend in rural health care. Low cost hospitals should set up at all districts. Two private sector organisations, which have succeeded in India, Narayana Health and Health Care Global from Bengaluru by offering world class process driven medical services from their chain of hospitals should be the model health care systems.

 

In view of accelerating climate change there is a huge pressure to replicate these models in rest of India, South east Asia and Africa. In fact, the governments should make it statutory for all health care service providers to train their staff in climate disaster management also. Recently the state of Kerala in India was hit by an extreme cyclone event during which about 70% of the state was flooded for a week or so. With climate disasters increasing in frequency, role of health care is paramount. Society needs to set up corps of volunteers for handling these climate emergencies. At the earliest all social organisations right down to building, school, office levels need to be put through disaster management drills like that for fire.

 

As climate change accelerates, during the next the decade, there will arise the need to calm huge sections of population suffering from depression and hyper anxiety. This will not be in isolation. By then we will simultaneously experience further deterioration of the economies, financial system, law and order, communication, food scarcity, inflation, disruption of transportation and so on. Mass yoga, meditation, chanting, counselling and medical cannabis could be useful during these extraordinary times.

 

Propagation of concepts of Pralaya (end of the world) and Samadhi state (mind in its most concentrated state) will also help facing the ultimate reality. Euthanasia should be legalized in all societies in order to provide exit options with dignity. We need to do all to face and cope with the numbing truth and abyss towards which we are hurtling.

Daily Collapse Update 7th April 2026

 Daily Collapse Update


Trump's big deadline. Talks or destroyed to stone ages… wipe of civilization…a 250 year old country talking to a 9000 year old civilization…Americans cant understand civilisations … as they are still in their nappies …


Iran as reprisal will put rest of gulf in darkness and destroy all critical infrastructure..

. .

Based on the most recent data from early 2026, the Middle East remains the world's most critical "energy and nutrition hub." Its contribution to global fuel and fertilizer markets is substantial, particularly regarding exports that transit through the Strait of Hormuz.


### **1. Fuels (Oil and Gas)**

The Middle East is the largest regional producer and exporter of liquid fuels. As of 2025–2026:

 * **Crude Oil Production:** The region produces approximately **32%** of the world's crude oil.

 * **Seaborne Trade:** About **25%** of all global seaborne oil trade passes through the Strait of Hormuz alone.


 * **Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG):** The region, led by Qatar and the UAE, accounts for roughly **20%** (one-fifth) of global LNG exports.


 * **Refined Products:** It is a major supplier of diesel, jet fuel, and LPG, exporting over **3.3 million barrels per day** of refined products.

### *

*2. Fertilizers**

The Middle East’s role in fertilizers—specifically nitrogen-based ones—is even more concentrated than its role in oil. Because natural gas is the primary feedstock for nitrogen fertilizers, the region has become the global production leader.


 * **Nitrogen Fertilizers (Urea & Ammonia):** The region accounts for **30% to 35%** of global urea exports and about **20% to 30%** of global ammonia exports.


 * **Overall Export Share:** When looking at all major fertilizer types combined, the Middle East provides nearly **30%** of global exports.


 * **Sulphur:** Notably, nearly **50%** of global trade in sulphur (a critical raw material for phosphate fertilizers) passes through the Persian Gulf.

### **Summary Table: Global Market Share (2025/2026)**

| Category | Global Share (Approx.) | Key Regional Players |

|---|---|---|

| **Crude Oil** | 32% | Saudi Arabia, Iraq, UAE, Iran, Kuwait |

| **LNG** | 20% | Qatar, UAE |

| **Urea (Fertilizer)** | 30% – 35% | Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Iran, Oman |

| **Ammonia (Fertilizer)** | 20% – 30% | Saudi Arabia, Iran, Bahrain |

| **Sulphur** | ~50% | UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia |


Given your deep interest in "Climocalypse" and civilizational collapse, these figures highlight a major "single point of failure" in the global system. Recent 2026 disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz have already shown how quickly a bottleneck in this region can trigger a 40–60% spike in global fertilizer costs, directly threatening food security worldwide.


Grim times for just about every aspect of our lives…the worst period on Meena Shani ….Malika has predicted collapse so presciently. Let's see what's in store over the next 48 hours.

Bob Marley

 By Gemini responding to my prompt that the world might have avoided its current "end of times" feeling had it heeded the message of Bob Marley.


It is a powerful sentiment to suggest that the world might have avoided its current "end of times" feeling had it heeded the message of Bob Marley. Marley was far more than a musician; he was a philosopher-prophet whose work offered a blueprint for a more equitable and peaceful world.

His message was not merely "don't worry, be happy" (a common misconception), but a rigorous call for social justice, spiritual awakening, and the dismantling of what he called "Babylon"—the corrupt systems of materialism and oppression.

1. The Core Pillar: "One Love" and Universal Unity

Marley’s most famous message, "One Love," was a plea for a global consciousness that transcends race, nationality, and class.

 * The Message: He believed that the root of human suffering was the "illusion of separation." In his view, if we recognized ourselves as one human family, the engines of war and exploitation would naturally run out of fuel.

 * The Modern Context: Today’s world is deeply fractured by tribalism and nationalism. Marley’s vision of a "One Love" world would have prioritized global cooperation over competitive destruction, potentially mitigating the geopolitical and environmental crises we face today.

2. The Call to "Emancipate Yourself from Mental Slavery"

In Redemption Song, Marley famously sang, "Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery; none but ourselves can free our minds."

 * The Message: This was a call for psychological and intellectual sovereignty. He urged people to stop looking to the "system" (Babylon) for validation or truth and to find power within their own spiritual and cultural roots.

 * The Modern Context: We live in an age of digital echo chambers and systemic disinformation. Heeding his call would have meant a world of critical thinkers who value human dignity over the consumerist "rat race" he often criticized.

3. The Stand Against "Babylon System"

Marley was a fierce critic of institutionalized oppression. He saw "Babylon"—the establishment, the military-industrial complex, and colonial legacies—as a vampire that feeds on the blood of the poor.

 * The Message: Through songs like War (which famously used the words of Haile Selassie I), he asserted that until the philosophy which holds one race superior and another inferior is finally and permanently discredited and abandoned, there will be war.

 * The Modern Context: Much of the "end of times" feeling today stems from systemic inequality and the dominance of profit over people. Marley’s message was a direct warning that a society built on such foundations is destined for collapse.

The 1978 One Love Peace Concert: A Case Study

Marley didn't just sing about peace; he lived it at great personal risk. During a period of intense political civil war in Jamaica, he survived an assassination attempt only to return and headline the "One Love Peace Concert."

In a legendary moment, he brought the two bitter political rivals, Michael Manley and Edward Seaga, onto the stage and forced them to shake hands. It was a physical manifestation of his belief that even the deepest political divides could be bridged by a higher spiritual frequency.

Why His Message Remains the "Antidote"

The "end of times" feeling you describe often refers to a sense of spiritual and social bankruptcy. Marley offered the antidote:

 * Sustainability: His Rastafarian faith emphasized "Ital" living—a natural, organic way of life that respects the Earth.

 * Resilience: His music provided a "rhythm of resistance" that taught people how to stay joyful and spiritually intact even in the face of suffering.

If the world had truly heeded his message, the focus would have shifted from accumulation to distribution, and from conquest to community.

Coping with Prahlaya

 Coping with Prahlaya 

 

We are living through the most turbulent period of human civilisation. We have passed the peak of our civilisation which was reached during the 1960s. There was a fork on the road then.  One side leading towards peace, self realisation of the American hippie generation which was deeply influenced by the spiritually deep 12,000 year old Bharatiya Sanatan Dharma civilisation and Buddhism which was also born in Bharat 2,500 years ago and by western intellectuals who realised that we cannot have forever growth on a finite planet. The other road of the western capitalistic system based upon endless innovation, fossil fuel use, mindless consumerism, colonisation of poor countries, waging endless wars due to deep state and the military industrial complex. 

 

Of course deep state made sure humanity took the the more profitable road where the capitalists and privileged controlled the world and appropriated most of wealth, exploiting the natural resources, keeping 70% of humanity impoverished. Mankind prayed to the gods like money and technology driven monsters based upon fossil fuels like cars, planes, air conditioning, consumerism, space flights.

 

Since the 60s, CO2 emissions have rise from 317 ppm in 1960 to 418 now. Along with this methane, nitrous oxide the other two green house gases have also risen steeply.  CO2 emissions have risen from 9.4 GTs in 1960 to 36.4 GTs in 2021… a four fold rise. Temperature rise numbers are not so reliable, since differing timelines are used as baselines. Many claim we are below 1.5C rise based on forever shifting baselines. 

 

In view of the above, climate change has morphed into climate collapse over the past 5-10 years. Just to name a few major climate and other tipping points: melting Arctic, Greenland, Antarctica, Himalayas, alps, meandering and almost stationary jet streams, heat waves, drought, storms, flooding, pollution, drying up of major rivers, food shortages, plastics, and so on.

 

Now it’s quite evident that our civilisation cannot last beyond another 10 to 15 years at most based upon the accelerating collapse of climate, economies and societies. Most likely scenario 2026-30. Recently the UN Secretary General António Guterres told world leaders at the opening of the Cop27 UN climate summit inEgypt: “We are in the fight of our lives and we are losing … And our planet is fast approaching tipping points that will make climate chaos irreversible. We are on a highway to climate hell with our foot on the accelerator.” Several climate scientists lead by Guy McPherson have predicted that our civilisation will collapse by 2030. 

There is an urgent need for adopting coping mechanisms and techniques which will help humans face the imminent quasi extinction predicament. Some of  the techniques for coping with our end of times have been provided below. 

1.     Introspection: who am I? Know oneself. We need to analyse ourselves in order to realise our true nature. Most of us are living as a part of families, groups of people, cities, etc. We are totally immersed in the identities we have created for our selves, born into. This identity is essentially our ego. We link our identities to our role within the family, position at our work places, status in society, income, wealth both financial and physical like property, cars, etc, clothes, travel, and so on and on. There is an urgent need to extricate our inner selves from the trappings of the elaborate identity we have immersed ourselves in. One way is to start writing a journal on the journey towards realising our true nature. Through a process of iteration we need to delve deeper into ourselves successively peeling off layers of conditioning / mind / ego / personas… till we reach the final truth that in the ultimate analysis we are nothing. That nothingness is part of the overall consciousness which we are all a part of. Here I would like to provide a link to a YouTube by Swami Sarvapriyananda who is one the leading authorities on Advaitha Vedanta. Advaitha Vedanta is like Zen Buddhism where one can gain instant self realisation if one is able grasp the non duality aspect of existence where we all are part of cosmic consciousness always. We only need to understand it. It’s always there for us. Link for Swami Sarvapriyananda on The Ultimate Truth part 2 from the The Mandukya Upanishad  https://youtu.be/zurODIIocXY

 

2.     Minimalism / Renunciation: we need to reduce our wants, needs, belongings, possessions, wealth, properties, gadgets, other luxuries and so on. One a day to day basis if we can live with the most basic essentials like minimum clothing, furniture, living space, personal items, etc. in a way this is also linked to the way most indigenous people live with very low carbon footprint. This helps us in the self realisation process of knowing who we are. 

 

When we become strong spiritually, we can start giving up our wealth, money in the banks, etc keeping just enough for say a maximum of 10 years. Keep money for basic medication. Prepare Living Wills stating that under no circumstances we should be hospitalised. Certainly a big NO for ICUs and ventilators. Nothing hard and fast about this. This is for those feel self realised and would not like to prolong this life which just step towards cosmic consciousness. 

 

Even in marriages we can if both spouses are like minded, reduce sex to a minimum treating it as physical release like defecation, urination. Then we will have reached a fully realised stage spiritually. If we have obsession with sex and pleasure, we can never sever our bondage with our temporal bodies made of flesh, bones and blood which decompose hours after death. 

 

 

 

3.     Detachment: reducing attachments like hobbies, relationships, family, money, house, etc. Not easy. Maybe only possible if one is older so there are no family responsibilities. Even while within a family we need to do our duties without getting deeply involved. Best when one can live in an ashram or a secluded retreat. I would highly recommend at this stage of our collapsing civilisation if one can convince the full family, then the family can move to a retreat kind of life. Again not easy because we are bound by a society to keep earning money to buy all the thing we need. Here again by reducing needs we can reduce our dependence upon money and the rest of the tentacles of capitalism.

 

Again here there is the important point what do we tell our children and grandchildren about our bleak future. How can we communicate the numbing truth to them. One of best options now is tell them truth in as simple terms and take them  out of schools. Because our times in the future will be so different that the education being given to them will not help then in surviving in a harsh world with uncertain electricity, food shortages, money rendered useless, migrating away from cities to smaller places where food availability may be better and living cheaper and safer. Cities likely to become violent places, wars, riots, etc. Children have to get used to much rougher ways of living with smaller houses, less toys, luxuries, and having to help parents at their work. 

 

4.     Deurbanisation: leave cities and live in smaller places preferably in villages, close to nature. Linked again to above two points. 

 

5.     Deenergisation: reduce need for electricity, fossil fuels. Try to give up / minimise all electric gadgets, consumer durables, air conditioning, hot and cold water, cars, trains, planes. Travel as much as one can walk or cycle. Again not easy for most families deeply embedded in the clutches of  capitalistic system. But again if we practice points 2,3,4 we can substantially reduce energy consumption. This is not being done to reduce carbon emissions because it’s too late in the day for that. Primarily this will help in quietening our minds and living ascetically which are major factors in accepting our imminent fate. 

 

6.     Meditation: this is an ultimate tool to help reach self realisation and cosmic consciousness by achieving thoughtlessness and living only in the moment. Some simple techniques are:

 

a)     Contemplating deeply on a candle flame, a dot. With patience try to quieten the mind and reduce thoughts which are forever darting in and out. After some time one can shut the eyes and focus only on the flame / dot in the mind. 

b)    Lie down supine and shut the eyes. Contemplate on your entire body slowly from toes upwards .. knees ..waist .. till top of head. Then slowly go beyond the head upwards..higher till you can observe your supine body..then go higher till you go beyond the ceiling… beyond the structure you are living in (be it a single level house, or even a multi storied) .. go higher till you can observe your house / building from above..higher more houses …higher over the city / village …go higher till you can see the earth … go higher and deeper into space ..contemplate being out there in space without any bounds …the sheer infiniteness … nothingness… This needs to be practised over days till you can achieve thoughtlessness. 

c)     Sit down cross legged or on a chair with eyes shut. Focus on your breath. Breath in counting slowly upto 4.. hold breath count upto 4…breath out count upto 6 .. hold count upto 2..cycle continues … please keep observing the breath as it goes in ..out … after a while this will help achieve thoughtlessness with practice. 

d)     Do a course of Sudarshan Kriya of Art of Living if possible or follow a guided YouTube video at https://youtu.be/0tX0M6EveGY.

e)    Corpse (maranasati) meditation is Buddhist form of self realisation. One can start meditating on one’s own body as if it’s dead. Alternatively meditate on a corpse if possible. There are monks who even meditate on actual dead people’s corpse. In Bharat some sects of sadhus do meditation at burning ghats where Hindus cremate their dead. This is an extremely effective path for conquering death during life. The Naga Sadhus in Bharat wear no clothes and smear themselves with ash from the cremated dead. 

f)      Mindfulness is another path to self realisation by focusing on the five senses (sight, sound, smell, taste and touch) vividly so that one fully lives in the present moment with no past or future thoughts. Observing the five senses with eyes shut and mind still is another form of being in the moment. Become very sensitised to how the senses are responding to external stimuli like noise, breeze, heat, etc. Get totally immersed in then experience of the senses and the mind switches of from everything else. 

g)     Another interesting exercise is to write an obituary of oneself. This exercise make us do an audit of our lives so far which others will read to know about us. This also makes us see our weaknesses objectively apart from looking at our selves in a disembodied way, as if we watching ourselves from outside. Helps us in understanding who we have been, and whether we are fit for giving up our egos which is necessary for spiritual growth to finally help meet our end without sadness. 

 

 

7.     Food: in order to help strengthen the mind which helps us reach self realisation which is the best path to cope with Prahlaya we need reduce our obsession with rich and tasty food, drinks, etc which are basically tamasic in nature. Tamasic food is basically gross food which appeals to our taste buds on our tongues. Examples of these food are meats, spicy food, tasty food, alcohol, aerated cold drinks, etc. Basically tamasik food dulls our minds. Sattvic light food is good both for body and mind.. vegetarian food. Attaching a good article on the three basic types of food: Sattvic , tamasic and rajasic from the Art of Living https://www.artofliving.org/in-en/culture/navratri/three-types-foodTransitioning to vegetarianism is the best for higher spirituality. 

 

Many Sadhus and Yogis consume ganja, bhang since they live in a supra realised state where nothing really matters. In view of the imminent collapse, I personally feel that if cannabis helps someone achieve inner peace and strength to face the numbing reality of imminent end of times, then it should be taken. 

 

 

8.     Praying: many find solace in praying accordingly to the practices of their religions. Praying is a calming activity so long we don’t pray for obtaining some particular positive outcome which we want desperately like money, saving someone very ill, etc. The later purpose of praying is personal to those who find it helpful for their sanity. My idea of praying is deep contemplation on any God  concept found in various religions is a form of meditation, which helps the majority of people because that is the easiest way to reach God. Higher forms of meditation may not be understood by most since it requires a degree of spiritual evolution which not easily understood by most. Chanting, singing prayers, bhajans, etc together in groups is very therapeutic be it in places of worship, other places or at homes. 

 

 

9.     Traveling: stop traveling unless it’s absolutely essential like health or meeting old / dying relatives, near ones. Tourism is sign of self gratification by always wanting to see new places, get new experiences. The immature mind is always craving to travel and enjoy new places. Even the act of going somewhere by plane, train or ships becomes part of pleasure. The more we hanker for transitory pleasures, the greater difficulty we will face when we have to leave our temporal bodies. In fact untrammelled pleasure seeking and hedonistic lifestyles exemplified by traveling, yearning to stay in 5-star hotels etc have resulted in greater carbon emissions which has pushed to humanity to its current predicament. 

 

 

10.  Social service: providing help to those who need it by way of charity, physically helping the sick, incapacitated, poor, teaching those who cannot afford education, and so on. Doing for others is most uplifting for one’s personal and spiritual development. This also helps us in becoming less self centred and selfish, leading to seeing the ultimate truth in others and in the act of selfless service. 

 

 

11.  Entertainment: our civilisation is becoming shallow, vacuous and dumb with our obsession with entertainment round the clock which has been enabled by electricity, internet, IT, multiple devices, malls, restaurants, games, sports, Hollywood, TV, geometrical increase in channels, YouTube, and list goes on. Even infants by the age of two months are attracted towards mobiles. Our minds are totally controlled by multi channels media. TV with thousands of streaming channels has become a baleful influence in our houses. Our addiction to mobiles is reaching insane levels. We need to reduce the number of apps on our phones and tablets. 

 

A time will when electricity and internet will collapse. This will leave all of us devastated, as much as by climate collapse. With time limited we need to deaddict ourselves by reducing time spent on digital space. We have become zombies of modern digital age. Spending more time on yoga and meditation will be much more fulfilling when we can realise the peace by withdrawing from these sensual pleasures which act like dopamine. 

 

YouTube is probably the best with hundreds of channels which help us cope with our predicament. Will post some channels / links useful for coping separately on the Prahlaya page later for those you maybe interested. 

 

Calming music is also very useful in these times. YouTube has several channels of soothing sattvic music which be in the background. Need to reduce and stop listening tamasic loud rock and metal type of music just agitates our jangled nerves more. 

 

Watching good films of great directors like Ingmar Bergman of Sweden, and others is indeed to cathartic experience. A list of great international directors can be put up. Movie with cleansing powers which will help our self realisation efforts. 

 

 

12.  Prepping: this part has been left out for the present. The are several of them on YouTube in the west. If felt we jointly prepare one. 

 

 

13.  Euthanasia: with collapse barreling towards us we need to perhaps think of peaceful ways to exit along with the acceptance of the action. Most countries euthanasia is not legal except very few like Switzerland, Netherland. However the Peaceful Pill handbook contains several options. Most of them are clinical. However there are a few ancient practices which seem to be less violent. Vanaprastha is an age old way of ending life after one reaches 60 when one has completed all family duties. The old in Bharat used to walk away into the forests. There gradually food intake used to be reduced which used to weaken the body, and in few days eventually without food and water people used reach their last breath. But these people as per the ancient Vedic principles had already reached a stage where they had lost interest in living and attachment and love for their temporal bodies. This is the most necessary condition for facing death. Once we lose interest in living we should gradually stop all medication, then stop eating food and finally stop drinking water. If we are in the right spiritual framework we can  joyously depart from our temporal bodies and become part of the cosmic consciousness. 

 

There are few indigenous methods of ending life. Samadhi is an ancient practice in Bharat when Sadhus and enlightened people used to reach a stage of intense meditation and concentration. This stage was an union with the universal consciousness which lead to death of the temporal body. Many Sadhus also get buried alive to achieve Samadhi. Some Sadhus also reach Samadhi state while alive, then they continue living. Maybe a Samadhi master can with the help of hypnosis, etc help reasonably realised people achieve Samadhi and Moksha. 

 

The Japanese Samurai warriors had an honourable way of ending life through Harakiri, also known as Seppuku. This requires great courage and deep belief in ancient Buddhism/ Shintoism. But the process is very violent and bloody. 

 

An important exercise connected to this is to do simulations of our last moments in life. What should we do. What should we be thinking of. The state of our mind at the end is important in some faiths which will determines our post death situation. The best way to die is peacefully accepting the departure with bliss, which is any day better than dying in a disturbed state of mind with negative feelings about death and wanting to cringe on to life, irrespective of what happens to our spirit post death which differs from religion to religion. According to Sanatan Dharma thinking of only ðŸ•‰ is good for the spirit. It can be released and become part of the cosmic consciousness which it was also part of life while living maybe with or without realising having  it. 

 

There is an urgent need to set up End of Life euthanasia centres everywhere probably by 2024. Mankind will realise the necessity of such centres where humans can exit peacefully with dignity. Details of these EoL centres have outlined elsewhere. I will try to put a link or append to this document later. 

 

 

 

14.  Being in touch:  between like minded people as the situation deteriorates in very important. Otherwise facing the collapse alone with families will be traumatic without having like minded people to talk with or be in touch with. We can set of a hierarchy of communication system, so that group can be in touch and share notes. First level of communication breakdown could be that of Facebook or suspended from FB. In either case we can decide upon the next social media to be in touch in like telegraph. The are others like WhatsApp, messenger, mastodon, blogspot, Google groups Mobile numbers can be exchanged as that could be last communication system running. If mutually felt we can set up a small working of 3/4/members to take this forward if there is a need for it. If felt by some we set up a regular zoom or meetings  something to meet and discuss our problems and being in touch as collapse intensifies as long internet is there.

 

 I will nevertheless going ahead with the Prahlaya and Coping with Prahlaya as a movement since it’s going to be the need of the hour. If required I can run it maybe on my blog at https://newgrammaroflife.blogspot.com/. I have already been permanently banned by Twitter. Hence my anxiety about Facebook and Prahlaya. What will be will be. I most will grateful if some of you like minded members would like join me on this final end of times odyssey. 

 

 

 

15.  Conclusion: an earnest attempt has been made to prepare a ver.1 of Coping with Prahlaya. Not sure if this what you were expecting. Tried my best based upon my experience, perceptions, my earlier writings, my spiritual background and so on. Would love you all to point out the shortfalls, lack of clarity, mistakes, etc. Equally also would very much love to get your suggestions for improvements, additions, changes, deletion, etc. My objective at this stage is to publish a small handbook on Coping for Prahlaya or Collapse for all like minded people.

70th Birthday Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam



Approaching my 70th birthday….as I move towards this significant milestone …there so much to write …though I have written almost everything in my diaries during college days…and the rest of 70s…..then again in my blogs during 2010-20…

At the outset I want to record my gratitude to the cosmic infinite forces … Brahman … the Universal Timeless Truth …. The Supreme Truth …. as epitomised by the Sanatan Dharma Trinity ….Brahma-Vishnu-Shiva …., the Trimurti …… each corresponding to a  cosmic function: Brahma (the Creator), Vishnu (the Preserver) and Shiva (the Transformer/Destroyer).

This has been the guiding force throughout my life … this self realisation and cosmic consciousness was made possible due to good fortune of taking Dikshya from Swami Hitanand Saraswati at the age of 17 and my explorations of truth and reality … which were fully documented in my journals then … 

Indeed very Salingerisque … having to lead the rest of ones life … after having experienced the ULTIMATE… waiting for the end … 

This has to be viewed against the reality of having been born after spending 9 months in a womb which a tomb .. since my Mother had couple of miscarriages before me … a Laingian Facts of Life trauma…. 

Hence this fascination for the END which was extended to everything I viewed in life … everything seemed to be collapsing… my first job at United Bank of India … too was filled with collapse after I did the strategic long range plan … probably one of the earliest in the banking system in 1984 … 

I diagnosed the bank as terminally sick in my research … soon RBI as the regulator also starting monitoring…  I started getting the familiar ‘womb as a tomb’ paranoia … I felt paralysed .. and I knew the ship was sinking … 

All my journals entries used to end with “as we hurtle towards 2001 … and beyond” …. again deeply influenced by Kubrick’s masterpiece… 

I used to think living till the age of 50 would be more than sufficient… my Father passed away at 56 … also used to feel that after having attained Cosmic Consciousness by early 20s … life was was a charade … we were only an infinitely tiny speck in the scheme of things … within the space time continuum which had no beginning and no end … 

I was deeply influenced by the Bhagavad Gita, Upanishads and Adi Shankaracharya… which I has read during my mind bending period of college … 

Now as I step into my 70th birthday I have decided to step into Vanaprastha hood. Sadhguru says: “Vanaprastha is just that – to bring a deep sense of mortality to this body. If the body knows it is mortal, it gradually calibrates itself well. It will not foolishly waste its energy. It will definitely live much longer. Vanaprastha is not necessarily about dying. It is about making a person absolutely conscious of one’s mortality. Without that, a human being is not a human being – they will live a very idiotic life.”

Hence I record my deep gratitude to my parents, brother, my wife, daughter, son-in-law, and two grandchildren, my nearest relatives, and in-laws. A special thanks to my wife Sharmistha my wife who bore the brunt of my madness.

Moksha @ end of Prahlaya


 

Metaverse is a logical step towards The Age of Singularity when there will be fusion between humans and AI... humans are spending most of their time on digital devices... AI will be able the recreate the persona of a human after death...based upon the information they have on our thinking which is being mirrored a lot into digital space on our devices ...especially mobiles which have become our alter egos... we are dehumanized ...at the end AI will take over totally....

this may happen much sooner in 5-10 years as civilisational collapse is underway with climate deteriorating fast ...extreme climate events have increased exponentially ... more than 60% or so of humans are now living in extreme climate zones ...experiencing cumulatively over 30 days of exposure to extreme / almost extreme events per year … in most places number of continuous days of extreme climate conditions is also rising alarmingly … the rate of change is accelerating …

along with collapsing climate … economies all over are in dire straits… rising debt at all levels… national, local bodies, corporates, financial system, individuals… since 2008 … now crippled by covid … basically our entire complex technologically advanced world is facing highest level threats from a host of sources... superpowers like China who want to hegemonize the world. ..made easier by the breakdown of USSR, decline of United States.. off course China has and is building up this dominance in the world based on building an unsustainable debt which is on the verge of bankruptcy …. Trying to take over hegemony of world from America 

In that sense probably, the soundest economy in the world is that of Bharat. So far, the debt position is not in any danger zone. The banking system has bad loans, but not in any red zone. Forex reserves position have doubled during past 5 years or so…  this is commendable in spite all the obstructions of the China / Pak axis and their political ally in Bharat the Congress party lead by an Italian close to Soros. …. thanks to rise of Modiji …the first true Bhartiya .. belonging to the oldest eternal wisdom in the world … Sanatan Dharma …

Ironically today with the world hardly 1000 days away from end of Prahlaya ... 2025 will be the Peak Prahlaya … we are indeed living in the most important peak times of the human race … virtually the last hours of our Kaliyuga … 7.8 bn people will be at the brink… of the precipice … we should feel most privileged to have a ring side view … of Peak Kaliyug.  

In a way I have been struggling myself from the life/death situation since prenatal times …. being born after few miscarriages…  in a way blessed being born in 1951 …seen all the decades since 50s….  world was so much very different …. More elemental … as Sadhguru said today future is frightening … there will be rise in suicides …future shockean to the power of infinity …. 

The only solution probably lies in setting of chain of euthanasia centres …. and body disposal systems … to take care of the end of times …. yes, we are in the last say 1000 – max 2000 days of human existence … 

The sharp decline in our future timeline has been most dramatic …. Stephen Hawking said human race has 1000 years left in November 2016…which he revised to 100 years by May 2017 before his death in 2018 … this worked out to roughly 2117…the deadline for human extinction… in fact Hawking recommended that human species can only survive by colonizing planets in outer space…  

During the past decade or so, most of the climate agencies including the IPCC had been stating that 1.5-2C above pre industrial temperatures would be reached in the distant future a few centuries away …around 2400-2500... but after Hawking’s 100 years pronouncement, most forecasts adopted 2100 as the benchmark against which the worst- and best-case scenarios of temperatures rise, etc were predicted… 2100 was quite a safe distance away … anyway not during the lifetimes of the scientists and analysts … the spirit of denial was dominant … 

Death is an unpleasant thought which no wants to think of… at an individual level… more so at the end of civilisation... most of us feel we will live on through the lives of our children ... the next generation… hence the very thought that no humans will be around is most inconceivable for most of humanity… except a few communities where the end of human race or Prahlaya is an accepted fact as a way of life ….which I shall touch upon later….

The acceleration of global warming has been almost exponential since the 1950s..when the level of CO2 in the atmosphere was 315 ppm… after having risen from 280 where it had stabilized for 10,000 years… now it has crossed 420 which is this highest during past 14 million years … if we add methane, nitrous dioxide and other greenhouse gasses the CO2e is about 850… which is about 350 short of the trigger point of 1200 when there will be abrupt climate change and collapse… 

2100 was the garbage bin where we there conveniently dumped all our climate mid to worst case scenarios… far away atleast for people who were in the know of the gradually worsening situation on all fronts…… all the worst case scenarios like collapse of Antarctica, melting of all poles and the Himalayas, two feet rise in sea levels, abrupt rise in temperatures beyond 3C … conveniently tucked away out of sight and out of mind…. 

This stance was taken up after the High Priest of Planetary thinking Stephen Hawking gave his last word on the end of times…but within the period 2018-20, climate collapse accelerated at a much faster pace than that being touted officially by IPCC etc…  in order to retain their credibility, the climate deep state condescended to reduce the timeline for worst case scenarios to 2050 in many parameters, otherwise even for the lay public who were getting exposed to more extreme climate events would start thinking that the 2100 timeline was becoming irrelevant ... and that the scientists were overtly conservative…

There was a huge gap between the official climate position being churned out by IPCC, and climate scientists and operators under the thumb of the deep state like Michael Mann and more serious climate scientists who were true to their profession and did not want to mislead humanity in such an important issue so central to the very existence of 7.8 bn people. In between there were the Middle of the Road expert who were not bold enough to tell the undiluted truth and not be in the good books of the establishment and Deep State …

Thankfully we have an intrepid band of rebel climate scientists / artists who were honest and wanted to tell the numbing truth at the cost of being ostracized by universities and government bodies like Guy McPherson,  Kevin Hester, Sam Carana who fearlessly laid bare the climate truth… Guy was the pioneer who predicted early 2010s that by 2026 there  would be human extinction….though I have been a paranoid worst case scenario person from my prenatal stage (separate section on this)… the first time I heard it I was stunned…probably it was 2018….even I who prided myself as a disaster freak … found it disturbing to the point I changed the YouTube channel midway… only after 6 months or so I saw that video again… 

In my blogs I had kind of stated that probably 2035-50 would be the Prahlaya period…though personally I had felt 2030 was a more appropriate starting year, but I was biased by granddaughter Myru who was born in 2015….ideally 2070 would have been the best when she would reached 55…not we are less than tiny specks in a shape of all things … especially the infinite and eternal space-time continuum ..we are just too insignificant to influence anything … we are too helpless.. all our tech progress, nuclear might, space conquests, wealth, economic might etc etc are just small toys before the coming collapse of civilisation and Climocalypse ….

Over the past two years or so, a lot of scenarios slated for 2050 were now felt that 2030 would be more appropriate …..this rapid shrinking of the end of times from 1000 years in 2016 to 2030 / 2026 within 5 years is most remarkable … the past two years 2020-21 have been the most momentous in human century … the wildest of socio-eco-Climocalypse extreme events have taken place… even the MSM and Deep State are in total denial…there is no truthful recording and reporting of extreme events …. I suppose no society can tell its citizens that there are only 10 years of life left … 

News of this nature would lead to worldwide upheaval, shock, large scale suicides, violence, large scale migrations, riots for scarce supplies, severe mental and physical illnesses, financial collapses, thefts, murders, wars, runway debt, collapse of economies... most humans are not spiritually evolved … to accept their end and of the world… few indigenous faiths like Hinduism have known this ultimate truth about 15000 years ago… their adherents are evolved spiritually evolved … to accept this numbing reality …

In fact, I hail from Odisha which is perhaps one of the only places in the world where Prahlaya (end of the world) is celebrated through group bhajans, etc. Swami Achutyananda Das, a Saint who wrote the Mallika about 600 years ago. The Mallika consists of about 144,000 stanzas which contain all his predictions. The Mallika has been accurately predicting the future. Now there are perhaps 100s of Sadhus and Babas of various Maths in Odisha who are well versed with the Mallika. There are several YouTube channels in Odia in which the Babas are interpreting the predictions of the Mallika. Majority of them predict end of Kaliyuga and Prahlaya by 2024-31. Links to these channels will be provided in the chapter on the Mallika. 

In this context, it may be mentioned that the IPCC in its 2007 report had written that there is a high probability that there would be no ice on the Himalayas by 2035. The line was lost inside the voluminous 3000-page report RK Pachauri. There was a huge outcry, and Pachauri had to retract the particular passage from the report. Later the deep state went after Pachauri foisting false inappropriate sexual behavior with colleague. This broke his spirit and he passed away a sad person. Truly there is no place for truth or prophets in our Kaliyug.
