This review is from: The Vedic Prophecies: A New Look into the Future (Paperback)

This book seems to follow the standard Vedic lines without questioning them at all. One fact that kind of bugged me was how long Kali-yuga is to last... 426,000 years! Ok, this is the shortest of the 4 yugas and it is the 4th one. That would make it impossible for us to be in this yuga. To me, this simply suggests that we have our time frames wrong or atleast encoded.

The facts like this divert your attention very quickly away from what is otherwise a very good book.

The book does contain "unedited" teachings of the cycles of the world/universe and preditions of the future and even what some of the prophecies that have occurred. It is also a very good reference that puts together a lot of the stories that many people have heard of and are now in danger of being forgotten.

For me, it even served as a historical reference. Much the first few pages explain the different incarnations of God/teachers and what their roles were. This list includes Krishna, Rama, Buddha and most of the others. That is something that I have had difficulty finding elsewhere.

This review is from: The Vedic Prophecies: A New Look into the Future (Paperback)

I was really amazed by the facts depicted in the book. I think the author has really done a superb research job; the end-result being that the one who will read the book will learn a lot about the existence of the universe in ONLY ONE BOOK. Hat's off to Stephen Knapp.
The book also provides shades on a lots of prevailing thoughts/beliefs about how the latter have been distorted with times. An example being the Taj Mahal which is believed to be the Proof of Love of a King for his queen but in fact, it's supposed to be a TEMPLE. You will surely love reading it... Good Reading....

This book is very in-depth, covering not just the Vedic tradition, but other ones as well, since many traditions over-lap the Vedic prophecies, particularly Jesus Christ and Revelations, the book is truly unique. I actually sold this book to a friend while not yet finished with it who was interested and bought another one. Then a friend misplaced that copy (also unfinished) and I bought yet another one. The book is very interesting.
