DIFFERENT YUGAS AND ITS TIME PERIOD IN INDIA
EXPLANATION:
a) In India, a "yuga" in Hindu philosophy means the name of an epoch or a time period within a four age cycle.
b) In Hindu cosmology, life is created in the universe and destroyed every 4.1 to 8.2 billion years which is one full day for Brahma.
c) The lifetime of a Brahma himself may be between 40 billion and 311 trillion years.
d) Like summer, spring, winter and autumn each yuga involves stages or gradual changes which the earth and the consciousness of mankind goes through as a whole.
e) A complete yuga cycle from a high GOLDEN AGE called the SATYUG to a DARKER AGE called as KALYUG and back again is said to be caused by the solar system's motion around another star.
f) So let's talk about our first yuga known as SATYUG ERA. It is the first of the four yugas also known as Kritha Yuga. Matsya, Kurma, Varaha and Narsimha, who are known to be the four Avatars, came in this yuga.
g) The next yuga that came after Satyug was known as TRETA YUG. It is the second of the four yugas. In this time period, the three another avatars Vamana, Parshurama and Sri Rama came into existence.
h) The next yuga is DWAPAR YUG which is known to be the third of the four yugas. In this time period, Krishna and Balram came into existence.
i) The last yuga is KALYUG. It is the last yug of the four yugas. In this era, the tenth Avatar, called as Kalki came into existence.
History of time periods and Yugas
Step-by-step explanation:
- The four Yugas refer to the cosmic ages that are used in the Vedic system to measure universal time.
- Unlike the Western concept of linear time, Vedic time is cyclic. Like the four seasons of the year, the four yugas, or era cycles, of Chaturyuga rotate without end.
- In this article we give an overview of each of the four Yugas, Satya Yuga, Treta Yuga, Dwapara Yuga and Kali Yuga, and we discuss the concepts of Vedic time, including definitions of the most commonly used time units . We also uncover wonderful coincidences between Vedic history and the modern fields of cosmology and archaeology. And of course you will also learn about our present era in Vedic times: Kali Yuga.
