Re: December 2012 is the month when Kalyuga will end
Its false. According to hindu panchangam still 3000 more years left for Kaliyuga. some body is making false claims. I have not read/seen any vedic astrology claiming end of earth in 2012whitey wrote:.. Is this true ? December 2012 is the month when Kalyuga will end (present time) and Satya Yuga will begin

I think there are many calculation theories exists and each has its own explaination for the same. The 2012 phenomenon is related with Mayan Civilisation while the concept of Satyayuga - Kaliyuga is different. In Greek Mythology it is with Golden Age - Iron Age and vice versa.
I read the book "Holy Science" written by Swami Yukteshwar which has given a new calculation system for 4 Yugas. I found it quite relevent as it is scientific and it has compared the changes from one yuga to another with evolution and inventions as base of explainations. More importantly it has given explainations on "Sandhi Kaal" or Transition Phase of One Yuga to another.
As per his calulations, currently it is 310 Dwapara or 310th year in ascending Dwapar Yuga. The people who are more interested on the same can read the book. I am putting a small part of the book and also a link from Wikipedia on the same.

Yuga - Sri Yukteswar's teachings on the yugas
An alternative view of the yuga cycle and timescale was taught by the 19th-century Indian yogi Swami Sri Yukteswar. After his chief disciple Paramahansa Yogananda came to America in 1920 and founded Self-Realization Fellowship to teach his guru's meditation technique Kriya Yoga, Sri Yukteswar's teachings on the yuga cycle, presented in his 1894 book The Holy Science, also became more widely known.
According to Sri Yukteswar, the descending phase of Satya Yuga lasts 4800 years. That of Treta Yuga lasts 3600 years. That of Dwapara Yuga lasts 2400 years. That of Kali Yuga lasts 1200 years. The ascending phase of Kali Yuga then begins, also lasting 1200 years; and so on. The ascending phase of Kali Yuga began in September of 499 CE. Since September 1699, we have been in the ascending phase of Dwapara Yuga.
This differs from the traditional schedule of mainstream Hinduism presented above, which holds that the yugas are much longer, and that we are today at the beginning of a 432,000 Kali yuga that began in 3102BC.
In The Holy Science, Sri Yukteswar writes the traditional view is based on a misunderstanding. He says that at the end of the last descending Dwapara Yuga (about 700 BC) "Maharaja Yudhisthira, noticing the appearance of the dark Kali Yuga, made over his throne to his grandson [and]...together with all of his wise men...retired to the Himalaya Mountains...Thus there was none in the court...who could understand the principle of correctly accounting the ages of the several Yugas."
Nobody wanted to announce the bad news of the beginning of the descending Kali Yuga, so they just kept adding years to the Dwapara date (at that time 2400 Dwapara). By the deepest point of the Kali Yuga (around 500 BC) that made the date 3600. As the Kali began to ascend again, scholars of the time recognized that there was a mistake in the date (then being called 3600+ Kali, although their texts said Kali had only 1200 years). "By way of reconciliation, they fancied that 1200 years, the real age of Kali, were not the ordinary years of our earth, but were so many daiva years ("years of the gods"), consisting of 12 daiva months of 30 daiva days each, with each daiva day being equal to one ordinary solar year of our earth. Hence according to these men 1200 years of Kali Yuga must be equal to 432,000 years of our earth."
Sri Yukteswar also writes that our sun is part of a binary star system, orbiting another star, with an orbital period of about 24,000 years. As our sun moves through this orbit it takes the whole solar system closer to and then further from some "grand center called 'Vishnunabhi', which is the seat of the creative power, 'Brahma', [which]...regulates...the mental virtue of the internal world."
The "yuga" cycle corresponds to the phenomenon described as "precession of the equinoxes" whereby the positions of constellations shift across the horizon over a period of (if it continues at current rates) 25,600 years. The usual explanation for this is that it is due to precession, whereby Earth's poles wobble over time much like the motion of a toy top.

Mayan civilization believes that the world will end in 2012.....According to our veda, it is not mentioned anywhere.
