7 Advertising Strategies The Pros Use To Make Millions
We all realize that when it comes down to it, you can advertise all you want, but when you call it a day, how many leads did you generate and what is the revenue you generated?
All 6 and 7-figure Networkers ask themselves this question: How much money did I generate?
These 7 Strategies will help you to create leads, generate sales, and quite possibly start branding you as The Networking Pundit. Obviously, you don't have to use all of them at one time, but these 7 strategies are used by the 6 and 7-figure networkers who are crushing it out there on the internet.
Caveat! You are the momentum behind the idea. This is a sexy and succulent industry. You are able to create sexy and succulent results, but understand that YOU are the impetus behind the idea.
Now, onward to The 7 Strategies:
#1 -Copywriting
What are you using to create your advertising copy?
Or to put it another way: Are you copying or are you writing?
I need to know 'how to' write an ad. Yes, I agree. We all need to learn how to write advertising copy, a.k.a. copywriting. Joe Vitale and Dan Kennedy are among the amazing copywriting gurus. Their books Hypnotic Writing and The Ultimate Sales Letter (respectively) are two of the best books out there on the subject.
Copywriting is tantamount in our business and creates the most special bond between you and your reader. The more personal your story, the more that potential lead likes you. The more you open up and leave something on the table, the more they trust you. The more they read, the more they know. Know, Like and Trust.
This is the #1 Strategy because quite honestly, you won't be successful unless you study copywriting. Well, I take that back, you can pay someone a butt load of $$ to write for you and then you can take credit for it.
But, I'm going to let you down easy: Those of you who are looking for some get rich quick kind of schematic will end up joining the Bernie Madoffs and J.David Dominelli's'of the past. Despised and broke.
These are 7 Strategies you implement yourself, not 7 ways to make you richer faster than anyone else.
#2 - Facebook
What types of social media are you using to generate leads for your business?
Facebook is an incredible way to achieve results by generating leads without having to place ads. It's F.R.E.E. Advertising!
Ask yourself, who is my best Avatar?
What type of professional resonates with me the most? (well, the network marketing professional of course!)
Who am I able to influence and who is interested in what I have to offer?
Here's what the professionals do, they add friends. Therefore, take a look at your friends friends and add the people who you most resonate with. By adding 5-10 people a day your FB Page will grow exponentialy. One of the mentors in my Community grew his friend base to 5,000 friends in less than 4 months. Holy Crap! That's a lot of people who resonate with this guy!
#3 - Placement of Ads
Next, you must plant seeds. If you want a harvest you have to plant the seeds.
Make yourself a commitment to place 7-10 advertisements per day. Professional 6 and 7 figure networkers place advertisements every single day. You are no different. Yes it takes time. Yes it takes effort and Yes it will take all of your energy to create 7-10 advertisements. But, once you continually do this on a daily basis, you will get better and better at it, and before long those 7-10 advertisements will turn into 25-35 advertisements.
Now you're asking me, where do you place advertisements Nic? Well, I place all over, but the newest place to secure advertising is the most cutting edge of arenas.
Here's an idea: Banner Advertisements! Go check out the smaller URL's you visit and see what their banner advertisements cost. Sometimes you're able to secure a banner advertisement for about $3.30 per lead or less depending on the venue you're using to advertise your banner
Now for someone new that may seem like a lot of $$. Think in abundance my friend. You too will realize that by breaking your cost down per lead you will generate a heck of a lot more traffic. Don't get caught up in the $$, get caught up in creating your dream.
Banner advertising? It's everywhere. Find it on your newsletters that you are a part of and receive daily. Find it on forum websites. Start looking for it, you will find it. Banner advertising is popular and efficient. Don't overlook anything that reaches the masses.
#4 - Strategic Relationships
CPA - Cost Per Acquisition/Action
This is a relatively new way to create/generate leads for network marketing professionals. Although, it's been around for a while.
CPA or Cost Per Acquisition/Action is based on leveraging other people's lists and databases. You give your database and list in kind for someone else's database and list. Leveraging their names and their leads for your business and vice/versa; It's strategic relationship building and it's the newest way to create and build your business.
You have received a lot of advertising based on CPA Networking - just look at your mailbox. CPA Networks are a lot more mainstream now that the internet is more content based rather than information based and people are now targeting leads based on the content they read, listen to, subscribe to, and search for. With 1.8 billion people on the internet and 6 billion people on the planet, the CPA Networkers are positioned very well.
CPA Advertising is a bit more in depth than this definition and honestly and to tell you the truth I have yet to 'try it out' but, when a guy who was over +$283k in debt to the Federal Government has now made this a way to create and leverage a 7-figure a year income uses this type of advertising to generate leads and is successful at doing so, I believe I will start paying more attention to this new way mode of internet marketing.
#5 - Ezines
Ezine advertising is a way to generate leads based on specific interests and target markets. Search for the directory of Ezines and find one that you want to use to advertise your specific niche. Use the Ezines that you believe will help you in your specific niche. Sometimes your ads will work, sometimes they won't. The best thing about Ezine advertising is that you can test copy, solo ads, pictures and the like. Test, Tweak and Track, that's your motto!
#6 - Use 3 Unknown Traffic Sources
Since the Google Fiasco everyone who had made oodles of $$ on the internet is now wallowing in their sorrows because they put all their eggs in one basket and now they're wondering where the heck to get more leads. Most, if not all, of these people have been banned from Google Ads and only those who are generating traffic on different modes of transportation are still in the game. The rest of them have cut their losses and are now out of it for good. That's a blessing to the rest of us.
For those of us who are new and weren't slapped around, hit up, banned, or otherwise chastised in any way by Google are wondering just what does all this mean for me?
It means we have to find ways to advertise that are different or more challenging that what most of the industry pundits were used to on the Google GravyTrain.
Billboard Advertising
Print Advertising / Offline Advertising
Banner Advertising
F.R.E.E. Advertising
Social Networking (not just the big networks, the smaller one's too)
Twitter
Facebook
LinkedIn
Google Buzz
Four Square
Eebieee Jeebie, Ooooga Booga and the rest...
Article Advertising
Blogging with valuable content that targets a specific professional
CPA / CPV Networks
Pick 3 of these and get out of your advertising comfort zone. Create some content and see what happens. Remember, test, tweak and track. It's all in the doing, the creating the making it happen. The book doesn't do much on the shelf if you know what I mean.
#7 - Are You In or Are You Out?
When you finally get your leads after all of your hard work creating the advertising, using the venues of choice and are ready to make the call to that lead your strategy that you use to set yourself apart from the rest of the so-called gurus is to ask "Are you in or are you out?"
Leave it up to them. If you are that good and you are working with the integrity of a Leader you will not need to 'sell' your leads anything. Your product is not what they're buying; they're buying a Leader. People want to be lead, they don't want to lead. People want to buy, they don't want to be sold. People want to have a choice, but they would rather have your recommendation.

Idiot Burns plastic
Either he actually purchased the action figure himself thus giving money directly to James Cameron and 20th Century Fox, thus actually encouraging people to make MORE movies that have... um... nothing to do with Satan... uh... ..Or, he stole it, which would completely undermine his whole claims of morality. www.youtube.com

Postcard Marketing - 3 Common Mistakes Most People Make When Using Postcard Marketing
Postcard marketing truly works. Most consumers are impressed by postcards. Companies and businesses that use postcards to introduce and promote new products and services almost always get the results they desire. Sales are easily bolstered and increased. There are many reasons why businesses and companies prefer to use postcards in marketing. It is believed that postcards are meant to help businesses improve and generate more revenue through promotions and advertising.
If you have really decided to try out or use postcard marketing for promoting and advertising your business, you should immediately decide on how you want your postcards to be presented. Among the numerous fun things you should be aware of in this advertising method is that it could allow you, the business owner, to use your own creativity when designing the postcards to be used. Indeed, this is the perfect time for you to let that artistic side of you come out and shine. Isn't that exciting enough to begin with? Other than that, it has been proven that the strategy of using postcards really works business and financial wise.
Sometimes, this form of advertising and marketing strategy does not work well. When postcard marketing fails, it is usually not the strategy that fails but its implementation. That is why you should be aware of the common mistakes that lead to failure of this effective and wonderful marketing and advertising technique. Here are 3 common mistakes most people make when using postcard marketing.
Common Mistake #1: Sending postcards to the wrong people
Every postcard marketing campaign would be ineffective if the program is not targeting the appropriate and right target market. Before producing the postcards, it is important that you first determine and finalize your target audience. Otherwise, you would not be able to produce a postcard that would surely appeal to the target audience. For example, if you are targeting dog owners, a postcard that is made to appeal to auto mechanics would not produce desirable effects. Sending your postcards to the wrong people certainly is the biggest mistake you could commit.
Common Mistake #2: No follow-ups
When sending out postcards for marketing and advertising purposes, you certainly could not expect to attain results with just a single sending. Sometimes, businesses think sending postcards is already enough to wait for success and impressive results. Such companies need to also make follow ups to make sure consumers would surely implement the call to action. There could be a need to send and resend postcards at least or up to three times before the desired effect and result is attained and realized. After sending out postcards initially, it would be ideal if you would resend or make follow ups at least after a week or two weeks.
Common Mistake #3: No personal touch
Consumers value postcards with personal touch. They would always prefer marketing and advertising initiatives that they could easily relate to. Prospects and consumers respond more positively to materials that are exhibiting personal touch. Make your postcard marketing initiative appealing to the recipient's heart. Professional postcard marketers know how to do it.
If you would like to learn additional techniques on how to use postcard marketing to build your business, make sure you visit my website.
Some of Timbox's favorite things are...
...movies, books, dinosaurs, Dexter's Laboratory, Dee Dee's friends, Lee Lee and Mee Mee (I prefer Lee Lee the Asian girl), James Cameron's Avatar and especially the Na'vi and avatars in James Cameron's AVATAR. Plus, my look at the Alien Anthology Limited Edition Blu-Ray Egg gift set (previously pre-ordered by those who attend ComicCon 2010) and the James Cameron's Avatar 3D Collector's Vault book.

Avatar Action Figures

Avatar has been designated for and won awards from the once a year Annie Awards, the Genesis Awards and the primetime Emmy awards, amongst others.

Product based primarily on the series includes scaled action figures, a trading card game, 3 Nintendo games primarily based on the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd seasons, stuffed animals distributed by Supreme Parks, and 2 LEGO sets.

Forum Marketing Strategies
Online marketing is very flexible. You can do it anywhere anytime and you would still be able to get your business across. One great venue for marketing is a forum. Forums can help you expose your business to a large number of people. It is not only a marketing strategy but also can be a place for you to gain new knowledge on the wants and needs of your target market. This can help you improve your business in some way. In forum marketing, it is important to remember that forums are a living and growing community of experts.
Before you can start with forum marketing, you need to find the right forums for you and your business. You need forums that are in sync with your line of business in order for your business to succeed. Look for forums that have 1000 members at minimum and 10000 posts. Remember to also look for forums that generate 10 to 15 posts every day.
Create your account right away. One important thing to remember about forums is that older members are generally more respected than newer members. So the earlier you register with a forum the better. Forum marketing is a long term investment. It may not have immediate gratifications but it can offer a solid following after you have broken in with the members.
When you are part of a community like a forum, it is mandatory to know the rules and regulations. It is important to figure out if you are allowed to place links in your post, or contact other members for business purposes, and so on. You must also know what restrictions there are in your forum. Following the rules in the forum will help you gain respect and credibility.
So now that you have got your own account and have read the rules of the forum, it is time to make your user name and avatar. When deciding what to use, just make sure to keep it simple and easy to remember. Do not go for the complicated names that are hard to pronounce. Chances are no one is going to remember that. A good head shot is a good enough avatar; just make sure it is not offensive and inappropriate.
Next in forum marketing would be creating your profile. Include in your profile a description of yourself and your business. Also indicate your area of expertise. Providing your contact information may also be helpful once you have made business connections with other members. Remember to only share information that will not be damaging. There are a lot of identity thieves out there; you do not want to be a victim.
Now you should introduce yourself to the forum. After this spend some times studying the norms of the forums and determine the influential members. You can now start contributing to the forum threads and generate new knowledge. Next step is leaving your signature after every post with a link to your website. This is very helpful. Remember when forum marketing to always create win-win situations, and to always avoid drama.

Time, is it Cyclical Or Linear? A Fresh Look at the Ancient Vedic Yug System
In Sanskrit, the language of ancient India, time and death are synonymous and called Kaal. If we examine this closely, we find that it is not a coincidence. Time indeed actually means decay and death. Everything decays with time and dies once its life span is over.
History abounds with civilizations and cultures which were once mighty and powerful and are today only a pale shadow of their former glory. They flourished, reached the pinnacle of their glory, and then slowly died.
In India many thousands of years ago some very remarkable and exceptional men reached a level of self realization which enabled them to understand the mystery of creation and the laws which govern and sustain it. These men were known as Rishis. These were the men to whom all the knowledge that humans needed or would ever need was revealed as the Ved (Knowledge). In their higher state of consciousness, these ascended masters could intuitively see the devastating effect of time on humans and knew that unless steps were taken to safeguard it, the knowledge that they had would be lost over a period of time.
Vedas are called Shruti. Shruti means something which is heard. The knowledge was revealed as the spoken word and was committed to memory by those receiving it. Written records can fall into wrong hands so the first step was to pass it on from generation to generation as memorized word. The easiest way to commit something to memory is by developing it into a rhyme or ditty. The sum total of knowledge was thus converted to thousands of verses and rhymes. These rhymes were called Richa and Sootra.
The language and selection of words of these Richas is such that each one can be interpreted in a number of ways. Generally every important Richa can have as many as six meanings. A person with gross intelligence will get only the literal meaning which is often unimportant. An ascended master on the other hand will be able to explain the real, ( intellectual and spiritual) meaning. It is for this reason that most English translations of Sanskrit works appear to be dull and meaningless.
This had to be done as some portions of this knowledge were meant for only those who had reached the appropriate state of maturity and enlightenment.
The information was thus handed down from generation to successive generation. People of exceptional mental caliber were chosen to remember Richas and Sootra. In this way the ascended masters negated the negative impact of time on available knowledge. It is because of this that Indian civilization and Vedic philosophy have emerged unscathed across a gaping chasm of time lasting twenty four thousand years at the very least. Depending upon their spiritual and intellectual caliber, some people could remember and reproduce all four Vedas, some three, two or one respectively. They were known as Chaturvedis, Trivedis, Dwivedis and Vedis. Their descendents are still known by these names and enjoy a high status in Indian society.
To make the less sensitive information available to masses, Upanishads and Bhashyas (commentary) were written.
For people with still lower mental caliber Upanishads were further simplified into Puranas. Two epics Ramayana and Maha Bharat were penned by the Rishis and these condense the wisdom of the Vedas into simple, easy to understand stories and parables.
The Yuga system of time is the gift of this great and ancient civilization.
Yuga system defined
The Indian concept of time is cyclical in nature. All systems, ideas and events have a beginning a mid point and an end. Nothing is everlasting in the visible universe that we see all around us. The human intellect is limited in its scope and often assumes that a smoothly or chaotically functioning system will keep on doing so for ever. We take for granted that growth or decay will proceed in a straight line for all times to come. In reality, nature has no straight lines.
Night and day, growth and decay of animal and plant species is a natural part of life. Companies and corporations, kings and their kingdoms all appear on the world stage, flourish for a while, then die. This is the eternal truth.
The Rishis being one with the universe knew the reality of time. They knew it was unreal and had validity only in the three dimensional world. They also knew that under its influence everything will go through crests and troughs, life and death. The essence of this Vedic insight was reintroduced to the world in 1894 by Gyan Avatar Swami Sri Yukteswar ji. His concise but ground breaking book, The Holy Science explains in detail the creation and sustenance of this universe. The following is a summary of his teachings about the Yuga system.
We all know that our solar system has Sun at its center and the earth and the rest of the planets move around it. Sun itself is a dual star and revolves around another star. According to the Vedic philosophy, this dual system of stars orbits around a region in space called Vishnu Nabhi. This region is the seat of creative intelligence. When Sun reaches closest to the Vishnu Nabhi, the Dharma (mental virtue) is at its peak and humans are close to God. They understand the creative principals which create this universe and make life on earth and elsewhere in the universe possible. When Sun reaches a point farthest from Vishnu Nabhi, Dharma is at its lowest ebb and humans lose all their understanding of the creative principals. We understand nothing higher than the grossest material creation.
The autumnal equinox is the pointer to the position of the Sun in relation to the Vishnu Nabhi. When autumnal equinox falls in Aries, sun is closest to it. When autumnal equinox falls in Libra, the Sun is farthest from it. It takes twelve thousand years for the Sun to travel from the closest to the farthest point from Vishnu Nabhi.. At the end of this period The Sun swings around and again begins to advance towards the seat of creative intelligence. Each of these two periods of twelve thousand years is called a Daiva Yuga. When the Sun is moving away from Vishnu Nabhi, the Daiva Yuga is known as descending Yuga. Conversely when the Sun is moving closer to the grand center, the period is called ascending Daiva Yuga. Each Daiva Yuga brings about a complete change in our external world as well as in our thinking process. In twenty-four thousand years the Sun completes one ascending and one descending Daiva yuga.
The growth and decay of Dharma is a slow and gradual process and is divided into four different and distinct stages in a period of twelve thousand years.
As mentioned above the Sun takes twenty four thousand years to complete one orbit around Vishnu Nabhi or grand center. 1/20th portion of this period or twelve hundred years is called Kali Yuga. Dharma during this period is only a quarter developed. The human intellect can not understand anything beyond the simple process of living like eating, sleeping and procreating.
The period of 2400 years during which the Sun passes through the 2/20th portion of twenty four thousand years is called Dwapar Yuga. Dharma at this point is in its second stage of development. It is only half complete. Humans can understand the electricities and their properties which are the creating principals of the external world.
The period of thirty six hundred years during which the Sun passes through the 3/20th portion of its orbit is called Treta Yuga. Dharma at this stage is three quarters developed. This enables us to understand the divine magnetism which is the source of all electricities and electrical forces on which creation is dependent for existence.
The period of forty eight hundred years during which the Sun passes through the 4/20th portion of its orbit is called Satya Yuga. At this stage the development of Dharma is complete and we can understand all principals of creation including God.
This is the English rendition of the relevant portion from Manu Smriti
Four thousand years is said to be the Krita Yuga (Satya Yuga). Its morning has as many hundreds, and its evening is of the same length. (400+4000+400 = 4800). In the other three ages, with their morning and evening twilights, the thousands and hundreds decrease by one. (i.e. 300+3000+300 = 3600 and so on...). That fourfold cycle comprising twelve thousand years is called an Age of the gods. The sum of a thousand divine ages constitutes one day of Brahma, and of the same length is its night.
Manu specifically mentions earth years, nowhere does he say celestial years.
The period of Satya Yuga proper is four thousand years in duration. Four hundred years before and after the Satya Yuga are its Sandhis or junctions with preceding and succeeding Treta Yuga where the gradual changes in the nature of the Yuga take place. Thus forty eight hundred years in all is the total age of the Satya Yuga. Manu has laid down that in the calculation of the periods of the other Yugas, numeral one should be subtracted from the number of both thousands and hundreds which indicate the periods of the previous Yugas and Sandhis. From this rule the age of Treta Yug comes out to be thirty six hundred years. Three thousand as the length of the Yuga and three hundred years before and after as its Sandhis; a total of thirty six hundred years.
Thus two thousand years is the length of the Dwapar Yuga with two hundred years before and after as its Sandhis. A total of twenty four hundred years. Lastly the duration of the Kali Yuga computes to be one thousand years with the junctions or Sandhis lasting one hundred years. This makes the total age of Kali Yuga to be twelve hundred years.
If we add 4800+3600+2400+1200 we get a total of 12000 years which is the length of one Daiva Yuga. Two of these Daiva Yugas make one cycle complete.
Sequence of Yugas Satya(4800)-Treta(3600)-Dwapar(2400)-Kali(1200)-Kali(1200)- Dwapar(2400) - Treta(3600)- Satya(4800). Total 24000 Earth years.
As we can see two Satya Yug, one descending and one ascending are joined together producing a total of 9600 years. Similarly at the other extremity, the descending and ascending Kali Yug are also joined producing a total of 2400 years. The sequence is in fact a circle.
In 11501 BC the autumnal equinox was on the first degree of Aries. At this point the Sun began to move away from its position closest to Vishnu Nabhi or grand center to its position farthest from it. This movement set in motion the very slow and imperceptible decline in the mental virtue of humans. The intellectual power of man began to diminish. In the next 4800 years we lost the power to grasp spiritual knowledge. In the following 3600 years during the Sun's journey through the descending Treta Yuga the human intellect lost all power of grasping the divine magnetism. In the succeeding 2400 years of the journey of the Sun through the descending Dwapar yuga the intellect became more clouded and humanity lost the ability to understand the existence and nature of five electricities. Finally in the last 1200 years of the Kali Yuga the intellectual power became so weak that nothing about the creation could be understood. Only gross material level of existence was known to us.
Adding 12000 years to 11501 BC we reach a figure of 499 AD. The period around 500 AD was indeed the darkest part of kali Yuga and of the whole cycle of twenty four thousand years.
From this point onwards the Sun began to move towards the Vishnu Nabhi or grand center and the human intellect slowly started to develop. During the 1100 years of the ascending kali Yuga there were frequent wars all over the world and man's cruelty and brutality knew no end. This period ended in 1599 AD.
At the end of the kali Yuga the hundred year period of Yuga Sandhi came into effect to usher in the Dwapar Yuga. Slowly the human intellect began to develop and we took the first few hesitant steps towards the understanding of electric current and magnetism. In 1600 AD William Gilbert studied the magnetic forces and observed the presence of electricity in all living beings. A little later Kepler discovered the laws of astronomy and the first Telescope was invented by Galileo. In 1621 Drebbel of Holland produced the first microscope. In 1670 Newton laid down the laws of gravitation and a little later in 1700 AD Thomas Savary used the steam power to lift water from the mines for the first time. In 1720 Stephen Grey discovered the action of electricity on human body. These discoveries and inventions came rapidly on the heals of one another. This became possible because the heavy burden of Kali Yuga was lifted from the minds of humanity and human intellect could begin to soar in the realm of pure thought.
The political structure too underwent a major change. People began respecting themselves and the all powerful medieval political system became less rigid and suffocating. In England democracy took firm roots and undermined the power of the king. Concept of liberty, equality and fraternity gained ground in France and the united states of America won its independence. The war torn Europe at long last saw some peace.
The rising Dwapar gave a huge impetus to the utilization of fine energies like electricity and magnetism. Electric motors combining the two forms of energy came into common use. Mankind learned to harness these energies though their real nature still eludes us.
In 1899 the two hundred year period of Dwapar Sandhi came to an end and the two thousand years long Dwapar Yuga began. This coming period will give us a real understanding of electricity and magnetism. As Dwapar advances, communication will become increasingly widespread and technologies will keep emerging that will simplify this process.
The mistake According to this new theory propounded by Sri Yuteshwar, the Hindu almanacs do not show correctly the present Dwapar Yuga. The astronomers and astrologers who calculate the ephemeris maintain that the duration of Kali Yuga is 432000 years of which only 5103 years have passed till 2003, leaving 426897 years still remaining. Fortunately this is not true.
The reason for this mistake can be traced back to the reign of Raja Parikshit who lived around 700 BC. This was immediately after the completion of the last descending Dwapar Yuga. At that time Maharaja Yudhishthir noticing the approaching dark Kali Yuga, relinquished his throne to his grandson Raja Parikshit and retired to the Himalayas. All the learned and wise men of his court migrated along with him and so there was no one left who could understand the principle of correctly calculating the age of the Yugas.
After the completion of the 2400 years of the then current Dwapar Yuga, no one wanted to - and dared to - announce the end of Dwapar and the beginning of the coming Kali Yuga.
This wrong method of calculation in two steps went like this:
First mistake The first year of kali Yuga was numbered 2401 along with the age of the now ended Dwapar Yuga. In AD 499 when the 1200 years of the length of the true kali Yuga were complete, the age of kali Yuga was given as 2400+1200 = 3600 years.
And the second As the Sun began to move towards the Vishnu Nabhi or grand center the intellectual power of man began to rise. The mistake in the almanacs thus came to the notice of the Pundits living at that time. They found that the ancient Rishis had fixed the duration of the kali Yuga at only 1200 years. They could however make out only the mistake and not the reason for it. They interpreted that the 1200 years of the real age of kali were not solar years but so many Daiva years. Each Daiva year was supposed to contain 12 Daiva months and each Daiva month was supposed to contain 30 Daiva days. Further each Daiva Day was taken to be equal to one solar year of our earth.
The simple mathematical calculation went like this.
1200 (Age of Kali Yug) X 12 (Daiva months) X 30 (Daiva days) = 432000 (Daiva Days)
Since each Daiva day equals one solar year, therefore total length of Kali Yuga is 432000 years.
The ephemeris shows that the autumnal equinox now to be almost 23.85º from the first degree of Aries. This shows through a simple calculation that 1705 years have passed since the time that the equinox began to recede from the first degrees of Aries.
Deducting 1200 years (The age of kali Yuga) from 1705 we get a figure of 505 years to show the present year of our world's entry into the Dwapar Yuga.
The present year is thus 505 Dwapar.
As time passes this view mentioned above will gain ground and replace the old one which gives hugely inflated number of years for each Yug.
Resonance of this view The only other people who kept meticulous track of time like us were Mayan of South America. They were no strangers to our forefathers. Mayans have been mentioned twice in our epics. Once in Ramayan and the second time in Mahabharat. In both instances they are depicted as master builders and technologically advanced race. Their calendar is very similar to ours and corresponds to our Yug system.
Calculations from Mahabharat Scholars from across the world came together, for the first time, in an attempt to establish the 'Date of Kurukshetra War based on astronomical data.' Undoubtedly, it was a comprehensive presentation of information in a discussion group, held on January 5 and 6, 2003 at the Mythic Society, Bangalore.
Scholars analyzed the astrological information present in Mahabharat and their estimates varied from 2067 BC to 1478 BC. This is roughly in accordance with the Dwapar period given by our revised theory.
I feel that we should be open to new ideas when dealing with ancient Indian history. It has been misrepresented and misinterpreted due to many reasons and needs a fresh look.
I am deeply indebted to the teachings of Shri Yukteshwar who was the Guru of Swami Paramhansa Yogananda.
