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. Any higher conscio ...

Supernatural phenomena are still being dismissed by the academic community. Influenced by recent breaktroughs leading to an explanation of some mysteries, they have come to the conclusion that science will explain all eventually.

Scientists, who would not dare to trespass in fields outside their speciality for fear of being torn apart by fellow academics, feel free to make all sorts of pronouncements in the media on subjects in the domain of parapsychological research, of which they have no knowledge whatsoever. Like in all other areas of science, parapsychology has narrowed down its research to specialist sectors, hardly anyone daring to voice an opinion on general issues.

In November 2003, European aviation company EADS (the company behind Airbus) announced that it was considering working with Japanese companies to develop a larger, faster replacement for Concorde [5]. However, recent news reports suggest only $1m is being invested every year into research, much less than the $1bn needed for the development of a viable airliner. In October 2005, JAXA, the Japan Aerospace eXploration Agency, undertook aerodynamic testing of a scale model of a plane designed to carry 300 passengers at Mach 2.

Sharon became chairman of the campaign staff for the elections which were scheduled for November 1973. But two and a half weeks after the start ...
