 Is this really Kali Yuga? Or is it Dwapara Yuga? - Audarya Fellowship
The four yugas, according to Hindu almanacs are Satya, Treta, Dwapara and Kali yuga and the present Dwapara is in the ascending order of yuga cycle which began in 1700 ce.
By deducting 13,200 years (12,000 of half circle and 1,200 of ascending Kali yuga) from 13,394, it has been established that man was in the 194th year of Dwapara in 1894 ce and the 305th year in 2005 ce.
Thus, the 1st year of descending Kali yuga was inadvertently counted as 2401st, which by the end of this yuga became 3,600 instead of the correct figure of 1,200," Prof Arya mentioned.

The Kali yuga is the final of the four ages and morally speaking, the furthest degenerated.

 Dual suns, and Yuga durations: Please comment   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
In the calculation of the period of other Yugas and the Yugasandhis, it is laid down that the numeral one should be deducted from the numbers of both thousands and hundreds which indicate the periods of the previous Yugas and sandhis.
So 2000 years is the age of Dwapara Yuga, with 200 years before and after as its sandhis; a total of 2400 years.
Thus 12,000 years, the sum total of all periods of these four Yugas, is the length of one of the Daiva Yugas or Electric couple, two of which, that is, 24,000 years, make the electric cycle complete.
