According to the Gangapuran, Lord Vishnu left prithvi 5000 years back and gave a time period after which, Ganga too would disappear from earth. He said that as Ganga would recede, the corruption in the world would start to rise and it will become more and more asuric and asabhya. That is precisely what is happening right now. 5000 years back Lord Vishnu decided that this place is no longer worth living and thought it better to leave and after Ganges dries up, within 200 to 400 years of it, all the other devi-devtas would also leave. And when they leave, nothing would remain. Take the case of surya, it is a dev, if he goes away, only darkness would remain. That would be the time of mahapralay, what is called the Ice Age. The modern scientists confirm that Ice Age will return and all life-forms will perish with it. That is the indication of the palayan of the surya dev. Palayan does not mean ‘running away’, the surya dev would not just disappear or Vishnu did not flee from here, palayan means that their shaktis become nishkriya (inactive). When the sky gets covered with dust, then the Sun will not be seen and so the energy of surya will become nishkriya.

As yugs change, the axis of the Earth tilts a little more. The axis keeps tilting with the change of yug, what we call a dimensional change, and this is a clear indication that our shastras are not wrong. Because the tilt of axis has changed since, we have come from satyug to kaliyug.
