Guru Shyama Khyapa:
Currently, the entire world is like an iron pan placed on fire—red hot. The third World War will not originate from Russia-Ukraine; it has been predicted that at the end of 2024, around October or November or December, the war drums will sound from the Middle East. We have been hearing about Russia-Ukraine, but that conflict is being used as a testing ground. The real war will start in the Middle East. It has already begun.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
The Third World War will happen just like the Second World War did. Slowly, everyone will take sides—one group here, another there. India will be drawn in, and there will be an attack. It is just a matter of time. The Middle East will suffer the most. Everyone will have to take a side because the countries there are land-locked and not as geographically secure as India with its mountains and seas.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
Nine countries are nuclear-armed. Iran might join them, and Bangladesh might join Pakistan as a nuclear-allied country. If even one blast occurs, the whole world could be turned to dust. The nuclear war drums are beating. You haven't seen anything yet. Your hair will stand on end when you see what is coming. We can't even sleep at night thinking about these things.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
This year's Durga Puja will not happen properly. On the day of Ashtami, the Sandhi Puja falls at 5:00 AM. Can Durga Puja happen at 5:00 AM when the sun hasn't risen? The Ashtami Anjali cannot be fully given. People will have to give the Nabami Anjali instead. The Goddess is arriving in a "Ghot" (pot), which signifies destruction. The consequences will be felt shortly after she leaves.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
According to the Bhavishya Malika, the world's population will drop from 7 billion to 670 million. India's population will drop to 300-330 million. This destruction cannot be stopped. Humans will do it to themselves. The mentality is: "If I die, everyone dies." There will be massive loss of life. But World Wars never lasted forever. They lasted a year or two and then ended. The current situation is devastating while it lasts.
