To my knowledge, the Dragon, in itself, holds as much, if not more, facts and power than the entire complexity of a whole astrological chart! This article give you the knowledge to understand the Dragon in your personal horoscope.

Shri Bhagavan was formerly known as 'Kalki’, or ‘Kalki Bhagavan’. He had never claimed to be Kalki himself, but he does acknowledge himself as an Avatar. As it has been said, “an avatar comes to Earth in response to humanity’s call when there is a certain level of stagnation, and he comes with a specialized mission. An avatar is the descent of higher consciousness. It need not necessarily be a spiritual being. For instance, Gandhi was an avatar of non-violence, and Einstein was an avatar of physics.

The eruption was preceded by two months of increasingly powerful earthquakes centred on the southern slopes of the mountain, which eventually encouraged most villagers there to abandon their homes.

A special committee, under the chairmanship of Senator Karl Mundt, was appointed to adjudicate these conflicting charges, and the hearings opened on April 22, 1954. The Senate convened the Army-McCarthy Hearings into the matter, ...
