Dwapara Yuga: Electromagnetic Pollution

Dwapara is the age of energy.

In Kali Yuga, prior to 1700, the concept was almost unknown with water, human and animal power only. The last steam powered devices, remnants of the previous falling Dwapara Yuga, were lost with the fall of Greek Civilization.

In early Dwapara we are surrounded by energy in many of its forms, a general boon but potentially nausive when undesirably present in the home or workplace in the form of electromagnetic pollution. European laws are increasingly strict but US ones trail, emphasizing corporate profits over public welfare. EMF pulse bombs and devices are part of the Cold War arsenal in many countries.

A Trifield meter is an inexpensive device that lets you scientifically check for electrical, magnetic and radio frequency/microwave pollution yourself with no need for expert assistance or specialized training. Zero readings represent safety and higher ones a need for further investigation.

I guarantee you will no longer wish to be in the presence of high tension lines, transformers, industrial machinery, microwave ovens or too close to electronic devices once having tested their fields. Feng Shui and Vastu Shastra have always emphasized the importance of a harmonius environment. Kriyananda noted the perturbation that the electrification of Ananda village brought. Many sensitive people cannot support the near ubiquitous Wifi and Cell fields in cities. In his later life, Yogananda did not write in the by then worldly locales of Encinitas or Mount Washington, rather the isolation of Twenty Nine Palms in the dessert.

A nukalert is a key-fobbed size radiation detector, less necessary today than during the cold war but of interest if you live near landfill or ex industrial sites (both popular sites for new subdivisions), nuclear power plants, recycling plants, chemical works, or military bases (depleted uranium is today a standard round).

Apart their vibrations of dread, many old war sites like those in Belgium are to this day contaminated with unexploded munitions and pools of poison gases. So in any locale it's important to know the real history (and not the promoter's version of it) to know if your home is poisoned from gold mining, a Cold War Weapons dump, or the more prosaic Indian Burial Ground. Often just the old name will tell you everything you need to know. For example, the home of professional golf and tennis in the US is in Ponte Vedra FL, previously known as Mineral City, FL (for the mining of Titanium to make poison gas). The sedate, private Texas Christian University of today once sat in an area known as Hell's Half Acre, the vice capital of the state. One has to wonder if the residents of Matanzas, FL do not speak Spanish to know that the word means massacre, after the cold blooding killing of French settlers there.

This can work the other way too, having a home on or near ground hallowed by saintly masters centuries or millennia ago, although the effect can be decidedly mixed e.g. in Reading, England where the Abbey, once one of the most important in Europe and a major pilgrimage center, is now destroyed, partially covered by the prison that once held Oscar Wilde, next to the Oracle Center, a giant mall ironically named for the poorhouse on whose site it now stands. In India, sites such as the Golden Temple in Amritsar seem to be equally bloody or inspirational, according to the period of time, much as the Indian capital, (New) Delhi, itself.

Meditation and chanting (kirtan) can transform any place. Paramhansa Yogananda was an early proponent of kirtan in the west, chanting Guru Nanak's Hey Hari Sundara ("Oh God Beautiful") with 3,000 people at Carnegie Hall in 1923.^[5] Kirtan became more common with the spread of Gaudiya Vaishnavism byA. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada in the 1960s.^[6]
