    The Prophecies of Mayan Celender of the End of World on December 21, 2012 would be a wrong prediction. I strongly emphasis that our beautiful earth will be safe in intact. Some parts of the earth may happen earthquakes, ;plane crash, volcanic explorations etc.

  6. DR,SAPAM NABAKISHORE SINGH says:

    Many thanks for the valuable informations. The Vedic Scriptures consist of austrological informations are very authentic and truthful. December 21, 2012, the End of World could be a wrong prediction of Mayan Calender. I can certain that our beautiful will be safe by the blessings of Lord, the creator of the universe.
