Thanks to both acharyaji and dhu-ji,
Gone through those threads and links today. Quite fascinating. My interests stems from a much earlier observation of mine about a 30 year cycle in Indian history. Start at 1977, and go back in steps of 30 years - I have gone up to right around Bimbisara. All those years are significant and have certain longer cyclical patterns - a 90 year cycle of retuen of similar situations.
My knowledge of astronomy says that the 30 year cycle comes closest to that of Saturn - which is however approx 29.5 years. Checking astronomical software that I have, I found that the 30 year peaks appear to coincide with the apparent presenceof Saturn in Cancer .
Now if I combine Jupiter with it, the LCM gives 60 years - which would be two 30 year cycles, but not getting the 90 years.
Just look at the first few cycles though and go back as much as you can - 1977,1947,1917,1887,1857,1827,1797,1767,1737,1707,1677,1647,1617,1587, 1557,1527,1497,1467,1437,....
90 year cycles - 1947,1857,1767,1677,...
In my scheme, I would see 2007 as similar to 1917. An apparently dud year, but Gandhiji is starting out after arriving two years earlier, and Jalianwallhbag is waiting to happen. This would gear me to think of 2037 as of similar order to 1947 when "old order changeth, yielding place to new". I am an empiricist here and would like to explore this with an open mind - neither believing nor disbelieving. Please let me know what you find as support or not about these cycles. I could be missing out on facts.
The propaganda machinery is failing perhaps because there is no longer any great "purpose" driving the "west". No colonization, no search for wealth, no great goal or superaim that transcends "ordinary" existence. Even most of the "freedoms" have been obtained - what is left to fight for!
