  Kali Yuga | English | Dictionary & Translation by Babylon
Age of Kali, also known as The Age of Darkness), is one of the four stages of development that the world goes through as part of the cycle of Yugas, as described in Hindu scriptures, the others being Dwapara Yuga, Treta Yuga, and Satya Yuga.
Kali Yuga (Sanskrit) Iron age or fl age; the fourth and last of the four great yugas constituting a mahayuga (great age), the other three being the krita or satya yuga, treta yuga, and dvapara yuga.
Although the kali yuga is our present profoundly materialistic age, in which only one fourth of truth prevails among humanity, making a period often called an age fl with horrors, its swift momentum permits one to do more with his energies, good or bad, in a shorter time than in any other yuga.

Doubtless his sentence, which is on page 28 of the book, is misleading, because "kali" means "fl," and hence it would seem that he meant we are now in the middle of Kali Yuga, but reading further it is seen that he refers only to the first part of the Age.
Kali Yuga is in length 432,000 years according to the old Indian calculation, and we are now coming to the end of its first five thousand years, that preliminary period being reckoned from the death of Krishna.
To find out when the great Kali Yuga for the major race, including all its sub-races, began would be impossible, as there are no means, and H.P.B., the only one for the present who had access to those who held the records, said precise figures on those heads would not be given out.

 Lexicon 2K - K's   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
From "TV or Not TV", "Umperor Kali Yuga" is a play on the Roman Emperor Caligula and the hindu term Kali Yuga.
Bongo sez: Kali Yuga is a hindu term for the age just (thankfully) coming to an end, in a system that (more or less) defines human spiritual receptivity as a cyclical function emcompassing multiple thousands of years.
In such a system, Kali Yuga is considered the darkest age, which some believe bottomed out about 500 or 600 A.D. As we are now supposedly on the ascendant cusp exiting the age, "watching Kali Yuga pass" is a nicely poignant pun on the times in which we live.

 Kali Yuga 5100: Introduction   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
The progression of yugas from Satya to Kali is one of a successive decline so deeply rooted and all-pervasive that it amounts to a sort of ontological decay; the power of life seems to be eroded by the force of time.
The character of this decline is expressed by a familiar metaphor of the yugas as Ages of Gold, Silver, Copper and Iron.
The human lifespan, set at 100,000 in Satya-yuga, is diminished in each yuga by a factor of ten reaching only a 100 years in Kali-yuga, our age.
