More information about the Yugas in Hinduism is as given below:
In the Rigveda, an Yuga refers to generations, similarly it refers about a very long time frame, and also it refers a very brief time frame too.
In the the great epic of Mahabharata, the words Yuga and Kalpa (a day of Lord Sri Brahma) are used interchangeably to describe the cycle of creation (सृष्टि), preservation (स्थिति) and destruction (लय / अन्त्य).
The name “Yuga” (age / era) commonly denote a Chatur-Yuga (चतुर युग) (Four Yugas / eras) or a Mahayuga consists of four Yugas namely: Krita (Satya) Yuga, Treta Yuga, Dvapara Yuga, and Kali Yuga.
In the Satya (Krita) Yuga, 99% of the people will follow the Dharma. In Treta Yuga, 50% – 80% of the people will follow Dharma. In Dwapara Yuga, 25% – 50% will follow Dharma. In Kali Yuga, less than 1% will follow Dharma.
Human lifespan in different Yugas are : In Satya (Krita) Yuga, lifespan of humans will be over 1,000+ to 1,00,000+ years.
In Treta Yuga, lifespan will be 1,000+ to 10,000+ years. In Dwapara Yuga 100+ to 1,000+ years. In Kali Yuga max will be 120 or less years.
Four such Yugas constitute a Mahayuga and a Mahayuga lasts for twelve thousand years of the Devatas / Demigods.
The present Mahayuga has been seen the following avatars of Lord Sri Vishnu:
List of different Yugas with meaning (information) in Hinduism are as given below:
1. Lord Vishnu avatars in Satya Yuga or Krita Yuga : Matsya, Kurma, Varaha, Narasimha, Vamaha and Parashurama avatars of Lord Sri Vishnu. King Harishchandra was also born in this Yuga.
2. Lord Vishnu avatars in Treta Yuga : Lord Sri Rama and his brothers Lakshmana, Bharata, Shatrugna and also Lord Sri Hanuman took avatars in this Yuga.
3. Lord Vishnu avatars in Dvapara Yuga : Lord Sri Krishna and his brother Balaraama and the five Pandavas namely Yudhishthira, Bhima, Arjuna, Nakula and Sahadeva took avatars in this Yuga.
4. Lord Vishnu avatars in Kali Yuga : Lord Sri Vishnu other avatars of Lord Sri Buddha, Lord Sri Venkateswara (Balaji) along with Sri Madhvacharya Ji. Lord Sri Kalki yet to take avatar in this Kali Yuga.
One Manu rules a Manvantara (Manvantar) composed of 71 Maha-Yugas. (Current Manu is Vaivasvata, the son of the Lord Sri Surya Deva (Sun God, Vivasvana).
14 Manvantaras is one day for Lord Sri Brahma and known as a Kalpa. Other 14 will be his nights.
For such 100 years, one Lord Sri Brahma is the shruti-karta (creator).
Next Lord Sri Brahma Deva is Lord Sri Vayu Deva (Sri Hanuman, Sri Bhima and Sri Madhvacharya Ji are the avatars of Lord Sri Vayu Deva) and Bali Chakravarti (Mahabali) will be Lord Sri Indra Deva in Saavarni Manvantara.
(And such infinite number of Lord Sri Brahma Devas have passed and there is no count of so many Lord Sri Brahma Devas until date).
(Imagine how tiny is the life of a human being in this Kali Yuga! Yet a human has ahankar (ego) that surpasses everyone’s).
In Satya Yuga dharma reigns supreme and everyone are highly righteous. Each varna pursues the duties that are prescribed for it and people are devoted to Lord Sri Vishnu and to Dharma.
The law of the four ashramas is meticulously followed and the Vedas are studied.
Life expectancy in Satya (Krita) Yuga is minimum from 4,000+ to 10,000+ and if a person is real Dharmamatma (follower of Dharma), then it can reach to 1,00,000+ years also.
In Treta yuga the miseries of people increase, although the dictates of Dharma continue to be followed. Here life expectancy in Treta Yuga is 1,000+ years to 10,000+ years.
In Dwapara yuga the power of Dharma diminishes and the Vedas have to be divided to disseminate the knowledge among humans. People start to lie and anger and hate start to become common.
If Yajnas are performed, they are always with some end in view, not because of selfless and altruistic reasons. Life expectancies start to diminish. In Dwapara Yuga life expectancy is 100+ years to 1,000+.
Kali Yuga is the worst of the four eras. It is extremely rare to find a righteous person. Yajnas also become rare. Jealousy, vanity and hatred are however very common.
People do not live for very long. Even the Brahmanas (Brahmins) stop studying the Vedas. The kings who rule then are ill kings; they are obsessed with the idea of accumulating wealth.
In fact, the word king conveys no meaning at all. Anyone who has many chariots (vehicles), horses or elephants comes to be called a king. The Brahmanas become the slaves of the Shudras.
The Brahmans (Brahmins) strive after evil pursuits and forever try to acquire the possessions of others.
Sons hate their fathers, students hate their teachers, and wives hate their husbands and vice versa.
Here vyabhicharam (prostitution), atycharam (ravishment) increases. Lobham (greed) will be at the top level.
Humanity will be at it’s lowest and almost very rare. Everyone wants money, many will be ready to kill anyone for mere money and wealth.
Many other religions who don’t follow Dharma will be formed. These religions are called Mlechha Jaati (irreligious people).
Mlechhas start to think their own religion as the best and they want to spread there religion all over the world.
Mlechhas will force the common people to change their religion to become Mlechhas.
Mlechhas will be very rich people who will make common and ordinary people to change to their religion by showing greed of money, wealth, etc.
These Mlechhas will think the cow slaughter as their main duty. They even plough the banks of rivers to grow food grains.
If cows are taken care of, that is only because they provide milk. No one likes a person who is devoted to Lord Sri Vishnu (Krishna) (Rama).
Towards the end of Kali Yuga, almost no one even remembers the name of Lord Sri Vishnu (Krishna) (Rama).
But, our Lord Sri Vishnu is called ‘Karuna Sagara’ (ocean of kindness), ‘Karuna Nidhi’ (wealth of kindness), ‘Deenabandhu’ (protector of his devotees) etc. etc. etc.
But, because evil reigns supreme in Kali Yuga, a minor good act in Kali Yuga gives a lot of punya (good deeds).
The punya (good deeds) that takes ten years to be acquired in Satya (Krita) Yuga can be acquired in one year in Treta Yuga, one month in Dvapara Yuga and one day in Kali Yuga.
The punya (good deeds) that required meditation and sacrifices in the other three eras can be acquired through just chanting the name of Lord Sri Vishnu in Kali Yuga.
Lord Sri Vishnu is the salvation (provider of Moksha) for everyone in Kali Yuga. (And also in other Yugas too.)
1. In Satya Yuga, we need to do the tapasya / yagna etc. to get moksha for at least 10,000 years.
2. In Treta Yuga, we need to do the tapasya / yagna etc. to get moksha for at least 8,000 years.
3. In Dvapara Yuga, we need to do the tapasya / yagna etc. to get moksha for at least 4,000 years.
4. In Kali Yuga, just simply we need to chant Lord Sri Vishnu’s (Krishna) (Rama) (Hari) one or different names throughout our life to get the moksha.
So, only chanting Lord Sri Vishnu names is the best and easiest way to get rid of all bad happenings in Kali Yuga.
Even to get moksha (a permanent place in Vaikuntha / eternal happiness) the chanting of Lord Sri Vishnu names is the best and easiest way.
OM NAMO NARAYANAYA or any name or names of Lord Sri Vishnu is the easiest and simplest way to get Moksha in Kali Yuga.
