The text distinguishes between two kings, one that will be killed by the Kalki: the king of demons and another of the barbarians.

  • 00:10:00 - 00:15:00

    The conversation shifts to explore the qualities of Kalki, described as an indestructible unifier of diverse worldviews with a 'vajra' or diamond body and wisdom, aiming to transform the world. Kalki is likened to a vaccine, taking wicked qualities and transmuting them to create a world of Dharma from the age of darkness.

  • 00:25:00 - 00:34:03

    Talk shifts to the future and speculated arrival of the last Kalki King, linked to celestial events (a 2034 solar eclipse), interpreted as significant for Kalachakra practices.

    I would like to start in the last
  • 00:00:55
    interview we discussed about the
  • 00:00:57
    structure of the five volume project on
  • 00:00:59
    translation and commentary over
  • 00:01:02
    kalashaka Tantra uh we also discussed a
  • 00:01:06
    bit about your journey so today I'm
  • 00:01:09
    interested to talk more about the
  • 00:01:11
    comments in the first volume is there
  • 00:01:13
    any prophecy about kalki King in this
  • 00:01:16
    first volume
  • 00:01:19
    ah yes
  • 00:01:21
    um because you know there are five
  • 00:01:25
    chapters five sections
  • 00:01:27
    and uh I'm devoting one section each uh
  • 00:01:31
    one volume for one section each
  • 00:01:34
    in the very first volume we have talk of
  • 00:01:37
    not only kalki of the path but also
  • 00:01:39
    kalki of the future
  • 00:01:43
    and this is there are 169 verses in the
  • 00:01:47
    first chapter uh which I have translated
  • 00:01:49
    in the first volume so from verse 156 to
  • 00:01:54
    the last words of this chapter 169 or so
  • 00:01:58
    we have uh this whole talk about kalki
  • 00:02:01
    Kings and uh what's 158 that talks about
  • 00:02:05
    the future kalki the last that is
  • 00:02:10
    and in 159th was
  • 00:02:19
    being proper size that there will be a
  • 00:02:22
    very very intense war in future
  • 00:02:25
    so and there we also find how The
  • 00:02:28
    Logical key will be killing uh the king
  • 00:02:31
    of demons that interest that is very
  • 00:02:35
    interesting people generally thinking uh
  • 00:02:37
    the large skull kicking will kill the
  • 00:02:39
    king of Barbarians but the Thunder talks
  • 00:02:42
    about two different Kings one each
  • 00:02:46
    the king of the barbarians and another
  • 00:02:50
    is
  • 00:03:03
    basically the king of demons so that
  • 00:03:07
    itself is very confusing what did demon
  • 00:03:09
    and what is uh you know Barbarian yes
  • 00:03:12
    but we have discussion about uh these
  • 00:03:15
    two uh evil Kings Wicked Kings to be
  • 00:03:19
    killed by kalki and his companions
  • 00:03:23
    thank you so much WoW interesting and
  • 00:03:27
    what is a cocky what are the qualities
  • 00:03:31
    of a kalki sriniraj Kumar
  • 00:03:34
    see
  • 00:03:36
    a term itself where if we see this
  • 00:03:39
    Sanskrit uh Optical term is
  • 00:03:44
    paste what we call cement cementing to
  • 00:03:48
    glue so that is so in a way how I have
  • 00:03:53
    foreseen that kalki is basically a
  • 00:03:55
    unifier of different races different
  • 00:03:58
    world view so for me which I have
  • 00:04:00
    written in mind production also that
  • 00:04:02
    kalkita epitome of synthesis is a
  • 00:04:05
    paragon of globalization
  • 00:04:08
    um I then another meaning we find
  • 00:04:11
    uh he is he has got a indestructible he
  • 00:04:16
    has got an indestructible body he has
  • 00:04:19
    and he had mastered the buddhi chitta
  • 00:04:23
    therefore he had the vajr
  • 00:04:25
    and he'd like a vaccine you see what
  • 00:04:28
    happens in vaccine you take the germ and
  • 00:04:32
    then you process it and you inject it
  • 00:04:34
    back and then yeah you get protection
  • 00:04:36
    from that so kalki is also like a
  • 00:04:39
    vaccine he takes on Wicked qualities of
  • 00:04:41
    violence okay he processes the same and
  • 00:04:45
    then he injects into the outer human
  • 00:04:47
    world to transform kalu into satyuka
  • 00:04:51
    that is dark ages into age of Dharma so
  • 00:04:54
    or if we can compare with Alchemy you
  • 00:04:58
    see how a process Mercury so that
  • 00:05:01
    transmutes metal into gold so similarly
  • 00:05:04
    he transformed the world of wickedness
  • 00:05:07
    into uh uh into our sambala and kalki is
  • 00:05:16
    not like Amitabh did not like amok
  • 00:05:19
    siddhi so
  • 00:05:22
    they live in heaven they live in pure
  • 00:05:24
    land but foreign
  • 00:05:38
    this is basically a land of peace
  • 00:05:41
    prosperity happiness then abundance
  • 00:05:44
    Liberty creativity everything is on this
  • 00:05:49
    very Earth with kalki want to realize
  • 00:05:51
    faulty mankind
  • 00:05:53
    very nice example this one about the
  • 00:05:56
    facts
  • 00:05:57
    other part one like what are the
  • 00:06:00
    qualities of kalki that is very
  • 00:06:01
    interesting because my intanka itself uh
  • 00:06:04
    you see the uh 155th or Worse attack
  • 00:06:09
    talks about the qualities of kalki and
  • 00:06:12
    like in the last uh talk also we had
  • 00:06:15
    discussed
  • 00:06:16
    how that this whole culture
  • 00:06:20
    has been you know fashioned around
  • 00:06:23
    path that is
  • 00:06:28
    a cycle and here also kalki has got 12
  • 00:06:33
    different qualities of order he has got
  • 00:06:36
    positions so that is mentioned in the
  • 00:06:38
    verse 155 of the 10th and I'm just
  • 00:06:41
    listing that is very interesting Bindu
  • 00:06:43
    that is
  • 00:06:48
    wife so he has a wife
  • 00:06:51
    that is a eye ointment uh like uh we
  • 00:06:56
    must have seen in uh movies also okay
  • 00:06:58
    how other various they used to apply
  • 00:07:01
    this yeah
  • 00:07:03
    yes and then and then garura the eagle
  • 00:07:19
    messenger of God that means he has got a
  • 00:07:22
    very good intelligence system also and
  • 00:07:25
    he has got calmed him is a cow which can
  • 00:07:29
    you know which can give milk as per
  • 00:07:33
    endless amount of milk so or and then
  • 00:07:39
    Fort he has a video I will say in terms
  • 00:07:43
    of energy electricity
  • 00:07:45
    lightning and then he has got very good
  • 00:07:49
    knowledge so Vidya then he also
  • 00:07:51
    possesses
  • 00:07:56
    uh digit so that is so if one wants to
  • 00:08:00
    decode what is this
  • 00:08:02
    it is
  • 00:08:11
    also has the Divine language so kalki
  • 00:08:15
    has a wisdom body and he knows entire
  • 00:08:18
    weight logic critizes he can speak so
  • 00:08:21
    past and future and moreover he had
  • 00:08:24
    different personality like for good
  • 00:08:26
    people he is very you know humble but
  • 00:08:30
    for the uh like uh for the wicked people
  • 00:08:34
    he is very tough so and then we find the
  • 00:08:37
    explanation in the last chapter which I
  • 00:08:40
    have not discussed in the first volume
  • 00:08:41
    so this is
  • 00:08:44
    256 of the the fifth chapter that
  • 00:08:47
    mentioned that kalki he looks young also
  • 00:08:50
    and at the same time he looks like an
  • 00:08:52
    old man so he has got contrasting
  • 00:08:55
    personality he is in company of women
  • 00:08:57
    and yet he follows he's a brahmachali he
  • 00:09:00
    follows ft and he is a very
  • 00:09:02
    compassionate but for the sake of
  • 00:09:04
    welfare of mankind he can kill the you
  • 00:09:07
    know evil people
  • 00:09:11
    is a very soft spoken but he is very
  • 00:09:14
    tough with a very cruel with the wicked
  • 00:09:18
    people so and though he's liberated but
  • 00:09:21
    he comes to this world only to mature
  • 00:09:24
    other mankind uh to get depression you
  • 00:09:28
    know this is very interesting uh when we
  • 00:09:31
    come to the last of the volume then
  • 00:09:34
    we'll be discussing all the things okay
  • 00:09:36
    so when we go to the fifth volume you
  • 00:09:39
    will talk more about kalki is this you
  • 00:09:41
    will describe a lot about kalki that's
  • 00:09:44
    very interesting well
  • 00:09:46
    um please elaborate about the hate
  • 00:09:50
    Dharma uh Kings and the list of kalki
  • 00:09:54
    Kings please
  • 00:09:58
    there is no mention of Dharma Kings
  • 00:10:01
    yeah okay then there is no mention of uh
  • 00:10:05
    you know the list over 20 now only
  • 00:10:09
    mentions about 25 kalki Kings brain of
  • 00:10:14
    25 Kings and it does not name the kalki
  • 00:10:17
    Kings to only two kalki kings have been
  • 00:10:19
    named the first yes and the last radical
  • 00:10:22
    key so now let us come to the world from
  • 00:10:26
    the list have come these lists have come
  • 00:10:28
    from the vimal prabha commentary and
  • 00:10:31
    what is vimal prabha vimal prabha is the
  • 00:10:34
    first community on the culture country
  • 00:10:36
    it was written by poonrik and a real day
  • 00:10:41
    at the entire you know there are our few
  • 00:10:46
    beef defaulty translation starts so in
  • 00:10:49
    one of the brief brief uh third brief
  • 00:10:53
    writes about list the eight Dharma Kings
  • 00:10:57
    and these are first Dharma King is
  • 00:11:06
    assume that uh Surah suration with
  • 00:11:12
    um
  • 00:11:13
    and then
  • 00:11:16
    I think it should as well so there are
  • 00:11:18
    these are seven and eight kalki King is
  • 00:11:22
    yes then again it's Dharma King then you
  • 00:11:25
    just see there are in a way two lists
  • 00:11:27
    there are eight Dharma King and 25 kalki
  • 00:11:30
    Kings so eighth Dharma King is yes and
  • 00:11:33
    he is also the first king okay
  • 00:11:36
    and after the end of 25 kalki Kings then
  • 00:11:40
    the last kalki comes so that means
  • 00:11:43
    33rd in the list because we have got
  • 00:11:46
    seven Dharma King then 25 Kal kicking
  • 00:11:49
    yes is in both places so 32 and then the
  • 00:11:54
    last kicking rudely kalki come so he
  • 00:11:57
    will be 33rd he will not be 34th so
  • 00:12:00
    there's a lot of confusion that whether
  • 00:12:02
    he 25th Kal kicking or 26th or 26.
  • 00:12:06
    clearly mentions he will come after the
  • 00:12:10
    end of our end of the reign of 25th
  • 00:12:14
    kalki King that means he's at 26. okay
  • 00:12:16
    so that that clears the confusion of
  • 00:12:21
    very good thank you so much for
  • 00:12:23
    clarifying that also that's very
  • 00:12:25
    interesting and uh do you have the the
  • 00:12:29
    names of the kalki kings in the tantras
  • 00:12:32
    or is it seated only in the Velma
  • 00:12:35
    commentary
  • 00:12:59
    Dharma Kings
  • 00:13:01
    it is uh again I I will say innovation
  • 00:13:04
    of the vimal prabha
  • 00:13:06
    um very well so what do you think the
  • 00:13:09
    list is historical imaginary or a
  • 00:13:13
    mixture of both
  • 00:13:16
    I think it's a mixture of both
  • 00:13:20
    and uh I need to go back a bit uh you
  • 00:13:24
    know into the early tradition of
  • 00:13:27
    Buddhism uh if you see uh we indeed
  • 00:13:32
    Pali literature we have got the concept
  • 00:13:36
    of seven
  • 00:13:38
    Buddha okay that is in thehawad and then
  • 00:13:43
    the Mayan literature comes with the ones
  • 00:13:46
    that mentions about you know 29 Buddha
  • 00:13:50
    Buddha
  • 00:13:53
    so earlier seven Buddhas have been
  • 00:13:55
    included included in and Gautam Buddha
  • 00:13:59
    Muni Buddha 24th after deepankar okay
  • 00:14:04
    there are three Buddhas
  • 00:14:08
    then the last 24th is
  • 00:14:14
    um
  • 00:14:17
    at the total 29. so I think similar list
  • 00:14:23
    you just say 7 and is 24 that had been
  • 00:14:27
    just increased by one eight and 25 I
  • 00:14:31
    think they have adopted from the past
  • 00:14:33
    literature and it's quite Innovative but
  • 00:14:36
    when we go through the list of kalki
  • 00:14:38
    Kings then something very surprising
  • 00:14:41
    comes like I I will just
  • 00:14:45
    be used and I'm just we have got uh this
  • 00:14:50
    is one two three four five six seven
  • 00:14:53
    seven
  • 00:14:56
    oh he is a historic personality because
  • 00:14:59
    he was the last Gupta emperor
  • 00:15:02
    okay
  • 00:15:03
    then we have got
  • 00:15:09
    16th 16th kalki King in mahipal so
  • 00:15:13
    mahipal is again a historic King okay
  • 00:15:16
    and it is during the last phage of
  • 00:15:19
    mahipal's rule that culture texts were
  • 00:15:22
    written so that is mentioned by the
  • 00:15:24
    taranas also so mahipal is a historic
  • 00:15:27
    figure but he his name has been put into
  • 00:15:29
    the list of
  • 00:15:31
    yes so you just see here is we can't say
  • 00:15:34
    it's purely imaginary because they are
  • 00:15:36
    putting up the book talking because
  • 00:15:51
    historic uh King so because we find the
  • 00:15:55
    mention of Hari Vikram uh calendar I
  • 00:15:59
    have a reign of Hari Vikram in the vimal
  • 00:16:02
    prabhat manuscript itself
  • 00:16:07
    you know give some mixture of some
  • 00:16:10
    historical Kings they are placing and
  • 00:16:14
    some literature they are taking in fact
  • 00:16:17
    what I have argued in the book that
  • 00:16:19
    suchanda himself is a historic King and
  • 00:16:22
    he ruled arakan region so that I have
  • 00:16:25
    discussed while relocating our sambala
  • 00:16:29
    in real geography so yes the first
  • 00:16:32
    Dharma King himself is a historic figure
  • 00:16:34
    and then we have got a Vishnu historic
  • 00:16:38
    figure mahipal historic figure three
  • 00:16:41
    parts historic figure so it's a mixture
  • 00:16:43
    of both yes it's a mix of both plan
  • 00:16:47
    no very good and can you please uh share
  • 00:16:51
    with us a bit more about the future uh
  • 00:16:54
    rudra kalki please
  • 00:16:58
    oh
  • 00:17:00
    um
  • 00:17:00
    we just discussed that he will come
  • 00:17:04
    after 25 kalki King and
  • 00:17:08
    he will be waging a war against the uh
  • 00:17:13
    barbarians and at some places he said
  • 00:17:16
    that the barbarians are from Makkah
  • 00:17:20
    foreign
  • 00:17:43
    this calendar is coming Islamic calendar
  • 00:17:46
    so and that is counted not as 622 but at
  • 00:17:49
    6 24. now what the typical tradition is
  • 00:17:54
    doing they are just adding 100 years for
  • 00:17:57
    each kalki King sure see from time of
  • 00:18:01
    King Yesa they are just adding 800 years
  • 00:18:05
    took place
  • 00:18:06
    till hijri calendar came in 6 24. so
  • 00:18:10
    after that there are again you see 1700
  • 00:18:13
    years you have to add four remaining uh
  • 00:18:16
    17 kalki King that become 23 24 and then
  • 00:18:21
    so that way and then they wrote a kalki
  • 00:18:23
    king comes a hit the 26th or he comes in
  • 00:18:27
    24 24. it is what they are saying but
  • 00:18:30
    now let us examine see where King
  • 00:18:34
    mahipal we know he's a historical man
  • 00:18:36
    where he stands because Comfort during
  • 00:18:39
    my past time and this Kal chakra Tantra
  • 00:18:42
    was composed a bit of in 1027 A.D the
  • 00:18:46
    composition started because this has
  • 00:18:48
    been mentioned in the Thunder itself
  • 00:18:50
    Stars
  • 00:19:07
    and this done that has been composed
  • 00:19:09
    during my past time and we know that
  • 00:19:11
    when mahipal was during uh the 1030s and
  • 00:19:16
    he uh left it he died in 10 30 uh 10 36
  • 00:19:22
    30 and 10 37 so that is there is a
  • 00:19:25
    confusion of one two year candle 10 36
  • 00:19:27
    10 37. so my pal dies in the year 1037
  • 00:19:31
    and my pulse is at what number in the
  • 00:19:35
    kalki Kings my apology
  • 00:19:48
    I took some
  • 00:19:50
    so even if you you add hundred years
  • 00:19:53
    each for one kalki Kings then it become
  • 00:19:55
    one thousand years yeah if my pal died
  • 00:19:58
    at around 10 30 uh sixth ten thirty
  • 00:20:02
    seventy then the time of the last
  • 00:20:05
    that falls in 2030 2035 so my own
  • 00:20:11
    calculation based on culture countries
  • 00:20:13
    that is
  • 00:20:14
    already arrived okay
  • 00:20:19
    no need to wait for 24 24 A.D by that
  • 00:20:23
    time our world will be controlled by
  • 00:20:25
    artificial intelligence
  • 00:20:28
    very Fringe element there so the time is
  • 00:20:31
    ripe at palti Tantra and this whole uh I
  • 00:20:34
    will say winner of 24 24 80 based upon
  • 00:20:37
    you know misinterpretation and uh
  • 00:20:40
    ignorant reading of the text like
  • 00:20:42
    Messengers misinterpretation and
  • 00:20:44
    ignorant reading of the text in your
  • 00:20:46
    opinion right
  • 00:20:48
    yeah
  • 00:20:48
    okay so by your readings is
  • 00:20:53
    to emerge and this is the time
  • 00:21:12
    The Power of Now yes so when do you when
  • 00:21:16
    do you view such possibilities
  • 00:21:20
    so while going through you know because
  • 00:21:25
    in culture
  • 00:21:26
    they always talks about balance the
  • 00:21:30
    Middle Point uh it may be in time it may
  • 00:21:33
    be in breathing in anything the middle
  • 00:21:36
    point of any system so if we see the
  • 00:21:40
    movement
  • 00:21:41
    our planetary movements and all these
  • 00:21:43
    things so basically it is Equinox which
  • 00:21:47
    is a very important
  • 00:21:48
    because days and nights are equal yes
  • 00:21:51
    and we have got only two such days okay
  • 00:21:55
    so I myself think if on an equinox there
  • 00:21:59
    is a solar eclipse that is the more
  • 00:22:01
    powerful time to uh you know practice
  • 00:22:04
    culture
  • 00:22:05
    okay
  • 00:22:09
    so I was just going through when uh do
  • 00:22:13
    we have any solar eclipse coming in near
  • 00:22:15
    future uh which is on Equinox day either
  • 00:22:19
    either it is a spring equinox all the
  • 00:22:22
    Autumn Equinox I have seen uh from the
  • 00:22:25
    massage catalog of solar eclipses for
  • 00:22:29
    future also so I found that in the year
  • 00:22:31
    2034 on 20th month we have uh this
  • 00:22:36
    Equinox and on same day we have got a
  • 00:22:39
    very powerful total solar eclipse and
  • 00:22:43
    solar eclipse takes place only in a
  • 00:22:46
    build uh band you know yes I will sit
  • 00:22:50
    like this across the globe
  • 00:22:52
    so this belt this solar eclipse of 2034
  • 00:22:56
    it passes through ladakh Indian ladakh
  • 00:22:59
    and a part of the but basically it
  • 00:23:01
    covers uh Africa whole of Africa and uh
  • 00:23:04
    South Atlantic so it's like that but it
  • 00:23:08
    uh naturally you don't have this Masters
  • 00:23:11
    in Pakistan yeah passing through
  • 00:23:14
    Pakistan so yes for us like even if the
  • 00:23:18
    solar eclipse is passing through
  • 00:23:20
    Pakistan on an equinox date it is not
  • 00:23:24
    that much important but passing through
  • 00:23:26
    ladakh that makes it very important
  • 00:23:27
    because
  • 00:23:32
    you know it is all it has been a
  • 00:23:35
    crossroad of uh civilization also and um
  • 00:23:38
    many of the
  • 00:23:41
    texts or things in the culture so my own
  • 00:23:46
    interpretation is that these were
  • 00:23:48
    composed in ladakh oh the solar eclipse
  • 00:23:55
    of March 2034 so that is going to be
  • 00:24:00
    very important for a culture
  • 00:24:01
    practitioner and we don't know what is
  • 00:24:04
    going to happen from ladakh but
  • 00:24:08
    is going to give a surprise he's going
  • 00:24:11
    to give us surprises so do you think
  • 00:24:13
    this is the reason for his Holiness the
  • 00:24:15
    Dalai Lama to camp in ladakh for a month
  • 00:24:19
    annually since last one and a half
  • 00:24:22
    decades
  • 00:24:26
    his Holiness has been wasting ladakh
  • 00:24:29
    almost every year from 2008. yes and
  • 00:24:32
    this year he stayed more than a month
  • 00:24:34
    earlier he used to stay only for a month
  • 00:24:36
    but and in 2014 he held out huge uh
  • 00:24:41
    culture
  • 00:24:43
    initiation ceremony there
  • 00:24:45
    and in fact there is a culture ground
  • 00:24:48
    also in lay in lay and that is how that
  • 00:24:51
    is that is a huge ground in the save of
  • 00:24:54
    kalchakramanda so we don't know but uh
  • 00:24:57
    his Holiness may be having some inkling
  • 00:25:00
    uh about the future of ladakh and his
  • 00:25:03
    connection with kalchakra so what we
  • 00:25:08
    don't know their masters yes
  • 00:25:11
    yes so so possibly they have foreseen
  • 00:25:14
    the arising and the preparing the place
  • 00:25:16
    for his arrival
  • 00:25:20
    possibly it is possible is it possible
  • 00:25:23
    he has the inkling and therefore uh
  • 00:25:27
    ladakh is very important for uh
  • 00:25:31
    Himalayan Buddhists nowadays yes I
  • 00:25:34
    understand yes I think maybe yes
  • 00:25:37
    so will it be punching llama six punch
  • 00:25:41
    and llama is claimed to have stated that
  • 00:25:43
    you will be born as the last kalki king
  • 00:25:49
    us
  • 00:25:50
    oh
  • 00:25:54
    Lamar said a lot of things and in one of
  • 00:25:58
    the talks I have discussed how his
  • 00:26:00
    sambala alamik so that is not even
  • 00:26:03
    originally travel account but that is
  • 00:26:05
    based upon uh the clever looks which he
  • 00:26:10
    has been you know narrated by Gosai
  • 00:26:13
    monks mendicant from India
  • 00:26:15
    um
  • 00:26:17
    so um but he popular popularized uh this
  • 00:26:22
    call chapter system a lot now you see
  • 00:26:24
    panchalama he belonged to the Gallup
  • 00:26:27
    tradition and he sometimes came he's a
  • 00:26:31
    king Yesa and uh and then he'll be the
  • 00:26:36
    last king also on the other hand when we
  • 00:26:42
    see Mongolia and we know that sambala in
  • 00:26:45
    Mongolia at its uh uh
  • 00:26:48
    kamarkin Monastery in the Gobi desert
  • 00:26:51
    you know that is
  • 00:26:54
    so their prediction is that the last
  • 00:26:57
    root calculator the large culture he'll
  • 00:27:00
    be a you know elimination of uh Guru
  • 00:27:05
    Padma sambhav so it's so much confusion
  • 00:27:07
    but I don't foresee that punching Lama
  • 00:27:11
    becoming because uh this galuk tradition
  • 00:27:14
    that did not have much to do with
  • 00:27:17
    culture tradition okay so okay it was
  • 00:27:21
    being carried by basically by you know
  • 00:27:24
    older traditions and then yes
  • 00:28:16
    maybe it's a bit of a myth it's not
  • 00:28:19
    proper based on facts is this right okay
  • 00:28:23
    I won't say anything I will take it was
  • 00:28:26
    just a political tool oh this is very
  • 00:28:30
    funny the some of the Lama uh when uh or
  • 00:28:35
    in the early 20th century so they were
  • 00:28:37
    promoting King jar at the last at his
  • 00:28:40
    white kalki okay and Russia communist
  • 00:28:44
    Russia and sambala and we are finding
  • 00:28:47
    this
  • 00:28:51
    They are promoting Japan at sambala
  • 00:28:54
    there's so much confusion
  • 00:28:57
    these are only political user okay if
  • 00:29:00
    you want to you know win the support of
  • 00:29:02
    the Kings then you say you will be the
  • 00:29:04
    here is the king and here it is
  • 00:29:08
    I understand yes it's not based on facts
  • 00:29:11
    at all it's just a political tool let's
  • 00:29:13
    say
  • 00:29:14
    very good so are there very many I mean
  • 00:29:19
    are there more storytelling what you
  • 00:29:22
    valari claims about the propensity of
  • 00:29:25
    human Minds
  • 00:29:27
    yes it's like a storytelling only this
  • 00:29:29
    even the whole myth of sambala so I will
  • 00:29:33
    say
  • 00:29:36
    some is happiness some is peace also
  • 00:29:40
    some so some some
  • 00:29:48
    so somebody to describing have a state
  • 00:29:51
    of Happiness describing peace he said
  • 00:29:54
    just you know okay
  • 00:29:56
    visualization about a utopian world
  • 00:29:59
    where there is prosperity peace people
  • 00:30:01
    are happy people are Liberty so I will
  • 00:30:05
    say in a way of all the things are yes
  • 00:30:07
    part of Storytelling but the story to
  • 00:30:10
    help us to uh you know live life and rap
  • 00:30:14
    through this uh yes so much
  • 00:30:17
    uncertainties in life so those are also
  • 00:30:20
    essential things yes so okay very good
  • 00:30:24
    my last question do you think the text
  • 00:30:28
    was thought to King suchandra by
  • 00:30:31
    shakyamuni Buddha himself uh has
  • 00:30:34
    consciously preached by his Holiness the
  • 00:30:36
    Dalai Lama the greatest kalashaka master
  • 00:30:38
    of all times
  • 00:30:43
    fear I don't foresee that sakamuni
  • 00:30:46
    Buddha in please this text Vision being
  • 00:30:50
    this Tech talks about Islamic calendar
  • 00:30:52
    the Islamic calendar but not during this
  • 00:30:54
    talks about Baghdad Baghdad was founded
  • 00:30:58
    in 8th Century then it talks about so
  • 00:31:02
    many other things which are in fact
  • 00:31:05
    historical things okay and these only
  • 00:31:08
    came during the medieval period so I
  • 00:31:11
    don't think what his Holiness said that
  • 00:31:14
    this was taught by uh satmuni Buddha
  • 00:31:18
    himself at the dhanak near amravati so I
  • 00:31:22
    don't agree with that because they text
  • 00:31:25
    uh itself revealed that it was and when
  • 00:31:28
    the tax itself says it is composed in
  • 00:31:30
    1027 A.D it is written in that 26 verse
  • 00:31:34
    of the text okay 403 years after this
  • 00:31:37
    uh here's the calendar okay
  • 00:31:42
    this text is being composed so it cannot
  • 00:31:45
    be taught by a SAT money Buddha I
  • 00:31:48
    understand I see very good so cannot be
  • 00:31:53
    taught by Buddha
  • 00:31:56
    interesting wow I'm very curious uh I
  • 00:32:00
    think for today we stay here in this
  • 00:32:03
    question because I don't want to lose
  • 00:32:06
    the enthusiasm for the next interview
  • 00:32:09
    and I think we have so much to talk
  • 00:32:11
    about this and to learn from you and
  • 00:32:13
    from your uh translation of these
  • 00:32:16
    volumes that is simply amazing you see
  • 00:32:18
    that is bringing new facts to what we
  • 00:32:20
    know about the color Shaka Tantra so I
  • 00:32:24
    would like to thank you for your time
  • 00:32:25

    with set for projects and uh I will take
  • 00:32:40
    this opportunity to again invite you for
  • 00:32:43
    a third one where we'll maybe talk about
  • 00:32:45
    your second volume what do you think
  • 00:32:47
    about this
  • 00:32:50
    we can talk about no there are so many
  • 00:32:52
    things to talk within first volume
  • 00:32:54
    itself to maybe some aspect in the first
  • 00:32:57
    volume we can talk
  • 00:32:59
    okay then we can we can keep the next
  • 00:33:02
    the next surprise uh for the next
  • 00:33:06
    interview about the first volume uh yes
  • 00:33:09
    wonderful so it will be a pleasure to
  • 00:33:11
