“According to the Brahma Kumaris, the age between hell on earth and heaven on earth is said to be 100 years long, and believed to have begun again in 1936 with the descent of Shiva. During this time, present day civilisation is to be completely destroyed by natural disasters, civil and nuclear war which followers call Destruction. This event is generally hidden from non-members or downplayed. Numerous false predictions of the date of Destruction have been made, such as World War II, 1950, 1976, 1987, failures after which many adherents left. The philosophy has been re-written to suit but followers are still being told it is extremely soon. The current expected date for the beginning of the Golden Age is 2036.”
