Climate change / Global warming

Global warming is the process of climate change caused by greenhouse gas that trigger a gradual rise of temperature in parts of the earth. Even a small rise in average temperatures can result in devastating climactic changes. This is a topic is discussed in The Legend of Dagad Trikon.

I noticed on the front page of Time Magazine last week, the comment, “Be worried, be very worried.” If the climate goes berserk, is it science only that can help or is there a more fundamental and more organic response, carried by a deeper Intelligence, in which our ancestors could share as well as many indigenous people considered marginal today?

These issues are discussed in various parts of The Legend of Dagad Trikon, including within the chapters on Oikos, the meeting in the World Bank in DC and the deliberations in the heavens.

Plot

The Legend of Dagad Trikon is an epic, a saga covering ten thousands years of history. It is completely unique and original, but it bears comparison to the works of J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S.Lewis and J.K.Rowling. Whereas the writing of Tolkien and Lewis was specifically informed by their Christian beliefs, The Legend of Dagad Trikon fuses many religious and cultural traditions into a seamless whole – for, despite their superficial differences, they are all one and the same. The cycle of time within The Legend of Dagad Trikon can be seen as Hindu in influence, for that tradition sees time in cyclical patterns, whereas we in the West see time as essentially linear.

The plot of The Legend of Dagad Trikon begins in the present time, in Cairo, where an American diplomat and scholar, Jonathan O’Lachan, has a dream where he is visited by Hanuman, who takes him back ten thousand years, to a society within a triangle rock complex in the depths of the Sahara desert, inhabited by an enlightened race called the Avasthas. Readers may be interested to note that ‘Dagad’ means ‘stone’ or ‘rock’ and ‘Trikon’ means ‘triangle’ in the Marathi language, which is the language of Maharashtra, the state in southern India, the capital of which is now Mumbai, previously Bombay.

As the cycle of time passed, and a new time came where evil would predominate, the Avasthas disappeared, but in a final act, they sent messengers to different parts of the planet, to hide ten caskets, that contained the secrets of their enlightened knowledge, to be found eons later, when the time came when good would again re-assert itself.
