		The yugas during the approach to Vishnunabhi he calls 'ascending' yugas; those during the retreat from Vishnunabhi he calls 'descending' yugas.
		He states that the length of the yugas, given in ordindary years in the scriptures, were misinterpreted by later scholars as being counted in units of "deva years" which are much longer.
		Oddly enough, if you multiply maha yugas of 4,320,000 years times 71 to make a manvantara and then times 2 to make a kalpa, the result is only 613,440,000 years rather than the 22 septillion Gerwal states as his total.

		There are two more yugas: Treta yuga, during which the knowledge is on a high level, but it is not that beneficial as Sat yuga, and Dvapara yuga, that is similar to Kali yuga, but not quite so negative.
		Kali yuga is of shortest duration, Dvapara yuga is double of Kali yuga's duration, Treta yuga is of triple duration, and Sat yuga of quadruple duration.
		Dvapara yuga is, however, only at its beginning, so we can still feel the slowness and numbness of Kali yuga period.

		(Yuga means era or age.) It is believed that the ages see a gradual decline of dharma, wisdom, knowledge, intellectual capability, life span and emotional and physical strength.
		A different view of the timespan of a yuga is given by Swami Sri Yukteswar Giri, the guru of Paramahansa Yogananda.
		According to calculations given in the book, the most recent yuga change was in 1800, when the Earth passed from Kali Yuga to Dvāpara Yuga.

	Yuga
		Hence the name Krita Yuga may be explained in terms of saying: ‘Krita Krityanaam Yugam Krita Yugam.’ For the various aspirants of those days on the ladder of spirituality used to perform all their respective functions in the three Kandas fully and correctly, and were therefore Krita Krityas (persons who had discharged all their duties).
		He, consequent to the Krita Yuga, does not possess Chittasuddhi (purity of heart) in the same manner and to the same extent, and cannot therefore act as a reflecting mirror i.e., cannot become an easy recipient of the wisdom enshrined in the Master’s head and heart.
		In fact, the Sanskrit word Dvapara (by which the third Yuga has been named) means doubt; and this gives us a clue to the mentality of the average Jiva of the Dvapara Yuga.

	The Devi Bhagavatam: The Sixth Book: Chapter 11
		When the Satya Yuga begins and the Kâlî Yuga ends, at this junction time, the virtuous highsouled persons descend from Heaven and are born on this earth; and when the Kâlî begins and the Dvâpara ends, the vicious souls come on the earth again from their hells.
		For this reason those that do meritorious acts in the Kâlî Yuga are born as men in the Dvâpara; so the Dvâpara good persons take their births as men in the Tretâ; and the Tretâ good persons are born as men in the Satya Yuga.
		Thus, in the Satya Yuga, all the Varnas (castes) were devoted to the worship of the Devî Ambikâ, the Highest S’akti; but in the Tretâ Yuga, the observance of the religion declined a little and in the Dvâpara, it declined very much.

		Moreover, since each Yuga is typified by the state of consciousness, therefore if one is in the state of consciousness of that Yuga then you are in that Yuga.
		The shastras would have it that we have just entered Kali yuga but honestly I am not inclined to accept this as I feel things have definitely improved in the 21st century and so feel that Sri Yukteswar is correct in his interpretation of yugas.
		The span of the Yugas is conceived in terms of the duration of Sat-yuga.

	The qualities of Kali-yuga
		In the Satya yuga (the age of truth) the entire population is religious and self-satisfied.

		In the Dvapara yuga the life span is only 1,000 years, or one tenth that of the Treta-yuga.

		The Irama-Iravana war must have occurred in the Kali Yuga and the Yugas are calculated as follows:- In the Hindu scriptures, the age of the world is called Kalpa and now the world is in its eighth Kalpa.
		The Yugas are four in numbers and their duration is first computed as the 'years of the God,' subsequently calculated that, a year of the God is 360 years of that of men.

	Gaudiya Discussions -> Succession and duration of the Yuga cycle
		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.
		During the next yuga cycle Asvatthama is to be the next Vyaasa compiling the Vedas again in the coming Dvapara yuga.
		Regarding the swapped yugas in Bhaktivedanta's commentary on Bhagavata 1.4.14 quite frankly I dismissed it initially as editing error (or misspoken word) as it made little sense to me (where is the swapping if Dvapara is always before Kali, and Lord Krishna is said to have appeared at the end of Dvapara yuga?).

	The Hare Krsnas - Incarnations of the Lord - Yuga-avataras
		There are four yugas, or millennia--Satya, Treta, Dvapara, and Kali--and in each millennium the Supreme Lord incarnates, and each incarnation has a different color according to the yuga.
		And finally in Kali-yuga (the yuga that we have now been experiencing over the past 5,000 years) there is an abundance of strife, ignorance, irreligion and vice, true virtue being practically nonexistent, and this yuga lasts 432,000 years.
		In Kali-yuga vice increases to such a point that at the termination of the yuga the Supreme Lord Himself appears as the Kalki avatara, vanquishes the demons, saves His devotees, and commences another Satya-yuga.
