Bhavishya Malika is a sacred scripture that holds many secrets within. It was written on Palm leaves around 600 years ago by Panchsakhas. It predicted the rise in frequent earthquakes worldwide at the time of transformation, which is now a reality.
There are many prophecies made in this divine scripture in order to warn about the coming time and guide humanity to the path of salvation.
Earthquakes Mentioned in Bhavishya Malika
“Bhoomikamp sthāne sthāne hoib
Prāṇīnka ghar dvār naṣṭheb.
Puni raudratāp heb bahut
Prabal heb kaf baāt pitt” - Mahapurush Achyutananda, Chausthi Patal, Pg 216
The above verse clearly states that Earthquakes will occur in many places, destroying the homes and shelters of living beings. The Earth will experience an extreme heat wave, and disorders related to Cough (phlegm), Air (Vata), and Bile (Pitta) will intensify.
What Are Earthquakes?
A sudden release of energy from the lithosphere creates seismic waves, which shake Earth's surface. These waves are called Earthquakes or Tremors. Their intensity can range from a weak one that can be barely felt to violent ones strong enough to throw objects and people into the air, damage infrastructure, and destroy the area. The 2024 Turkey earthquake is an example of how destructive it can be.
Geological faults, volcanoes, landslides, or other seismic activity are the primary causes. Human activities such as mining, fracking, nuclear weapon testing, etc., can also trigger them.
Can Earthquakes Trigger Tsunamis or Floods?
An earthquake in an ocean or sea can produce large waves that travel thousands of kilometers. These waves can cause fatal tsunamis. It can also damage dams, resulting in floods that can again be fatal.
The Verse Predicting the Above Lines
“Marubhui re setebede bhasaino nebo.
Anga Banga Kalinga Saurashtra re bhumikampe thoribo.” - Achyutananda Das, Bhavishya Malika
Translating the above lines, floods will submerge the desert lands of Rajasthan, while Anga (Bihar), Banga (Bengal), Kalinga (Odisha) and Saurashtra (Gujarat) will tremble due to earthquakes.
Verses on Earthquakes
Different verses in Bhavishya Malika tell about predictions for the coming time.
Here are a few mentioned below-
About Present Time
"Anāhato dhvani śabdosubhībotīnīpuro kampī jibo
Bhūmikampōhebobārambhārōhiṅgulāsaptō mahī pherībo" Bhavishya Malika
The above verse states that eternal sound (anahat naad) and the Omkar sound will be heard from space. All three realms will vibrate, repeated earthquakes will occur, Devi Hingula, the Goddess of Fire, will travel across the seven great continents, fire breakouts will happen in forests and cities, and volcanoes will erupt. This is exactly what is happening now.
About Current Situation
“Sthānesthāne bhūmikampōho'ī bārūṁ kampī jibo himogirī
gṛho brikṣō kētesthāne bhāṅgi gōlē ho'ī jibo hōtō śrī” Achyutananda Das, Bhavishya Malika
The above lines predict that due to frequent earthquakes in various places, the Himalayas will start trembling, trees and houses will be massively destroyed, the Goddess of wealth (Maa Laxmi) will leave, and countries will begin experiencing downfall (recession).
Future Prediction
"Māgha saptamīse dinare bhūmikampahēva dinare.
ṭhāvē ṭhāvēse bhāgavat hō'ī vasansāre vikhyāt." - Bhakta Balrāmdāsajī, Kaliyāgat bhaviṣyant mālikā
Interpreting the above verse, there will be an earthquake on the seventh (saptami) day of Magha (February), and reciting Bhagwat Mahapuran will become popular everywhere.
“Patala Vasuki Tekiba Munda, tini thara je kampiba brahmanda” - Achyutananda Das, Bhavishya Malika
This means the universe will tremble three times when Vasuki (the serpent King) in Paatal lok (netherworld) moves his head. Vasuki's head movement symbolizes a cosmic event that will cause these tremors.
Prediction About Three Big Earthquakes
Three significant earthquakes, with magnitudes of 16 to 18 on the Richter scale, will shake the foundation of the Earth. Large buildings will crumble, and the world will witness great devastation. After this, the Earth's axis will shift significantly. The positions of the North and South poles will change, and the sun will rise in the west and set in the east.
In a single day, billions will be affected, from Delhi to Nepal, Pakistan, China, Hong Kong, Baluchistan, Afghanistan, Indonesia, and Thailand. These slokas from the Bhavishya Malika are warnings about potential natural calamities.
Bhavishya Malika Predictions and Future
Bhavishya Malika is a collection of thousands of Holy Scriptures written in verses, which can be challenging to decode accurately. However, the current scenario proves that whatever was predicted 600 years ago is happening. Every event is interconnected.
Humans are also misusing and damaging natural resources, and if a third world war occurs, massive destruction will occur. All five elements—earth, water, fire, air, and space will become furious to eliminate unrighteousness from the earth. Divine intervention will bring back truth, love, compassion, forgiveness, and peace.
Will Earthquakes Happen Frequently?
Santorini, Greece, experienced more than 12,000
earthquakes in two weeks, and Iceland experienced more than 2000. Some events, like the rapid melting of glaciers, increased landslides, and movement in the earth's core, are warning bells.
The coming years will be very turbulent, and an increase in floods, snowfall, avalanches, volcano eruptions, earthquakes, droughts, and unbearable heat waves is inevitable. Nature will restore its serenity, and these events will be tools for cleansing the earth.
What Should be Followed?
Following key principles can protect oneself and one's family from the challenging times ahead. These include giving up non-vegetarian food, avoiding intoxication, staying away from illicit relationships, following the path of truth, and surrendering to the supreme power. A person should follow the following practices mentioned in Bhavishya Malika for the path of salvation -
-
Trisandhya Path
-
Madhav naam chanting
-
Reading of Shrimad Bhagwat Mahapuran
This is the only way to face the upcoming challenges. The ultimate truth is that human efforts alone will not be enough, and only those who follow the path of righteousness will overcome the difficult times and step into the golden age.
