 | | This Ugadi we step into the 52nd century of Kaliyuga, which is calculated to have commenced with the Krishna Avatar, 5,100 years ago. |
 | | According to the Nirayan calendar writers, the duration of the earlier Yugas were first, the Krutayuga, which lasted for 17,28,000 years second, the Tretayuga, for 12,96,000 years third, the Dwaparyuga for 8,64,000 years and finally, the present Kaliyuga, which would last for 4,32,000 years. |
 | | Further, there is no problem like whether the month of February would have 28, 29 or 30 days during the year 2000_2001, they say, adding it is of immense significance to be a witness to such historic events as the Hindu calendar entering its 52nd century. |
