Dwapara Yuga President

The United States has just elected the most international and diverse President ever, the 44th in its history - a true Dwapara Yuga changing point.

Symbolically this black man from a poor background defeated the wealthy son of an Admiral, himself the son of an Admiral, from an old, slave-owning family. His opponent had been held as a special bargaining chip during the Vietnam War much as in the Kali Yuga era nobles such as Saint Francis were held for ransom, if captured.

There are many parallels between the life of Obama and President Lincoln, both being relatively unknown lawyers from Illinois making surprise victories against entrenched oppositions with messages of unity rather than special interests.

Obama will take office on mid-day, January 20th, Dwapara 309. All Americans are uniting behind him to pull the country (and by extension, the world) from what looks like a depression forming the likes of which have not been seen since the 1930s.

George "W", his predecessor, with his New England birth, (now treated) alcoholism, life of privilege and inherited wealth shares more in common with the Kali Yuga figure of King George III of England than other self-made Presidents such as his own father, or Presidents Clinton or Obama.

It was George III's misrule that rather than quieting the American Colonies lead to revolution and their independence. It was "W"s misrule that fueled rather than defeated terrorism through military misadventure, abuse and torture of prisoners.

As Yogananda stated, "The ends do not justify the means, rather the means color the ends."
