	Yuga
		Treta Yuga is the mental age, mental power is harnessed, men are in power, and inventions dissolve the illusion of time.
		In the higher ages (Treta and Satya), writing is unnecessary because people communicate directly by thought; temples are unnecessary because people feel the omnipresence of God; wars are rare but they do occur; one such war is described in the Ramayana.
		According to Vedic Cosmologist Patrizia Norelli-Bachelet, the numbers given for the yuga are to be understood as seconds of degrees of arc of precessional movement (precession of the equinoxes).

	Kali-yuga and the Number of Time: a Creative Accounting
		Since Yuga (more widely) indicates an Age or Era, it is cognate with Millennium, and in later times came also to mean a era of 1,000 years.
		Yuga also means Four, and the extent of previous Ages in a quadruple cycle has been calculated by multiplying 432 by its own digits (4, 3, and 2).
		Yuga is a general term for an Age or Era, but its specific association with the number 432 is a result of the 5-fold division of a cycle, and sexagesimal mathematics.

		Of these four yugas, our present racial period is the fourth or kali yuga, often called the "iron age" or the "fl age." It is stated to have commenced at the moment of Krishna's death, usually given as 3,102 years before the Christian era.
		It is the following: The four yugas as above outlined refer to what modern theosophical philosophy calls a root-race, although indeed a root-race from its individual beginning to its individual ending is about double the length of the composite yuga above set forth in columnar form.
		The racial yugas, however, overlap because each new great race is born at about the middle period of the parent race, although the individual length of any one race is as above stated.

		Yuga (DevanÄgari: à¤¯à¥à¤—) in Hindu philosophy refers to an 'epoch' or 'era' within a cycle of four ages: the Satya Yuga (or Krita Yuga), the Treta Yuga, the Dvapara Yuga and finally the Kali Yuga, which are equated with Roman Golden, Silver, Bronze and Iron Ages respectively by E. Burgess
		A complete yuga cycle from a high Golden Age of enlightment to a Dark Age and back again is said to be caused by the solar system's motion around a central sun.
		In Dvapara Yuga, science flourishes, people experience the spiritual in terms of subtle energies and rational choices, inventions are abundant, particularly those that dissolve the illusion of distance (between people and between things), and power is mostly in the hands of women.

		A yuga is a specific "age" or period of time; derived from the verb-root yuj – "to unite." The evolutionary periods through which each of the seven great root-races of our earth passes are known as the yugas: satya yuga (Golden Age), treta yuga (Silver Age), dwapara yuga (Bronze Age), and kali yuga (Iron Age).
		The kali yuga, or the Dark Age, is the yuga in which only one part of the Truth prevails, because materiality and ignorance with their evil relations of selfishness and anger and indifference hold sway over human hearts.
		Thus will be born the satya yuga of the new race out of the kali yuga of the old, and in the distant future there will be even greater things than in the past.

	Hindu Eschatology
		The four yugas; Krita, Treta, Dwapara (Dvapara), and Kali, are an essential aspect of Hindu existence as they represent the cycle of degeneration and regeneration of humanity from an age of perfect harmony and absolute virtue, to an age of impiety and virtually no virtue.
		The Kali yuga is the final of the four ages and morally speaking, the furthest degenerated.
		The entire cycle from the Krita yuga to the Kali yuga is known as a Mahayuga or Manvatara.

	The Seeker's Age
		Every human being that is alive and breathing on this planet today is born at different points in time of the satya, treta, dwapara or kali yuga according to their destiny (that is, the cumulated effect of their deeds from previous births), and as a means to progress to their next phase of spiritual development.
		Traditionally, satya yuga is associated with the period from morning until noon, treta yuga with the afternoon, dwapara yuga with the evening, and kali yuga with the darkest part of the night.
		Kali yuga teachings are very common these days, and attracting large groups of people with their emphasis on rituals, chanting, large-scale charitable projects, etc. They form the base of the spiritual pyramid, without which no spiritual regeneration on a global scale is possible.

		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.

		In Treta Yuga, man extends his knowledge and power over the attributes of universal magnetism, the source of the positive, negative, and neutralizing electricities, and the two poles of creative attraction and repulsion.
		When man, in Satya Yuga, reaches the fourth, intermediate sphere of Maha Loka, the Door, and overcomes the fourth and last power of Maya, he leaves behind him the illusory world of reflected light, and is baptized directly in the true spiritual light, becoming a son of God.
		The unfolding powers of reason and the eager idealism of youth is the Dwapara Yuga of the life-cycle of an individual, while the ripe powers of maturity are expressed in his Treta Yuga period.

	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.

		Since September 1699, we have been in the ascending phase of Dwapara Yuga.This is not the traditional schedule of mainstream Hinduism, which holds that the yugas are much longer, and that we are in the long Kali Yuga today.
		We are in the ascending stage of Dwapara Yuga.
		Just as Krishna appeared just before the end of the decending Dwapara Yuga, 700 BCE, and passed on the essence of all that came before, so Krishna Chaitanya appeared just before the end of Kali Yuga, 1700 CE, and gave us a means of enlightenment which is the distilled essence of the previous ages' teachings.

	In Hindu Hindu philosophy the existence of the world is divided...
		#The characteristic qualities of the lowest phase, "Kali Yuga" include that most people are aware only of the physical aspect of existence, the predominant emphasis of living is material survival, and power is mostly in the hands of men.
		The veil between the material and the transcendent realms becomes almost see-through, as the illisuion of different densities of vibration is dissolved.
		For example, many followers of Sri Satya Sai Baba Sai Baba agree that Lord Rama Rama was an avatar avatar of Treta Yuga and Lord Krishna Krishna an avatar of Dwapara Yuga, but say we are still in Kali Yuga today.
