ಯುಗಗಳ ಚಕ್ರ

ಯುಗ ಚಕ್ರವು ( ಚತುರ್ ಯುಗ, ಮಹಾಯುಗ, ಇತ್ಯಾದಿ ) ಹಿಂದೂ ವಿಶ್ವವಿಜ್ಞಾನದಲ್ಲಿ ಒಂದು ಆವರ್ತ ಯುಗ ( ಯುಗ ) ಆಗಿದೆ . ಪ್ರತಿ ಚಕ್ರವು 4,320,000 ವರ್ಷಗಳವರೆಗೆ ಇರುತ್ತದೆ (12,000 ದೈವಿಕ ವರ್ಷಗಳು ) ಮತ್ತು ನಾಲ್ಕು ಯುಗಗಳನ್ನು ಪುನರಾವರ್ತಿಸುತ್ತದೆ (ವಿಶ್ವ ಯುಗಗಳು): ಕೃತ (ಸತ್ಯ) ಯುಗ, ತ್ರೇತಾ ಯುಗ, ದ್ವಾಪರ ಯುಗ, ಮತ್ತು ಕಲಿಯುಗ .

ನಾಲ್ಕು ಯುಗಗಳ ಮೂಲಕ ಯುಗ ಚಕ್ರವು ಮುಂದುವರೆದಂತೆ, ಪ್ರತಿ ಯುಗದ ಉದ್ದ ಮತ್ತು ಮಾನವೀಯತೆಯ ಸಾಮಾನ್ಯ ನೈತಿಕ ಮತ್ತು ದೈಹಿಕ ಸ್ಥಿತಿಯು ಪ್ರತಿ ಯುಗದಲ್ಲಿ ನಾಲ್ಕನೇ ಒಂದು ಭಾಗದಷ್ಟು ಕಡಿಮೆಯಾಗುತ್ತದೆ. ಕಲಿಯುಗವು 432,000 ವರ್ಷಗಳವರೆಗೆ ಇರುತ್ತದೆ, ಇದು 3102 ಕೃಷ್ಣನ ಮರಣದ ನಂತರ ಕಲಿಯುಗವು ಪ್ರಾರಂಭವಾಯಿತು ಎಂದು ನಂಬಲಾಗಿದೆ. ಕಲಿಯುಗದ ಅಂತ್ಯದ ವೇಳೆಗೆ, ಸದ್ಗುಣಗಳು ಕೆಟ್ಟದಾಗಿದ್ದಾಗ, ಕಲ್ಕಿಯು ಭವಿಷ್ಯ ನುಡಿದ ಮುಂದಿನ ಚಕ್ರದ ಕೃತ (ಸತ್ಯ) ಯುಗವನ್ನು ಪ್ರಾರಂಭಿಸಲು ಒಂದು ಪ್ರಳಯ ಮತ್ತು ಧರ್ಮದ ಮರುಸ್ಥಾಪನೆ ಸಂಭವಿಸುತ್ತದೆ. ^[೧]

ಒಂದು ಮನ್ವಂತರದಲ್ಲಿ ( ಮನುಷ್ಯನ ವಯಸ್ಸು) 71 ಯುಗ ಚಕ್ರಗಳು ಮತ್ತು ಒಂದು ಕಲ್ಪದಲ್ಲಿ ( ಬ್ರಹ್ಮನ ದಿನ) 1,000 ಯುಗ ಚಕ್ರಗಳಿವೆ. ^[೨]

According to some myths, Kalki's horse will stamp the earth with its right foot, causing the tortoise that supports the world to drop into the deep. Then Kalki will restore the earth to its initial purity.

Deva lifespan (36,000 solar years) equals 100 360-day years, each 12 months. Mahayuga equals 12,000 Deva (divine) years (4,320,000 solar years), and is divided into 10 charnas consisting of four Yugas: Satya Yuga (4 charnas of 1,728,000 solar years), Treta Yuga (3 charnas of 1,296,000 solar years), Dvapara Yuga (2 charnas of 864,000 solar years), and Kali Yuga (1 charna of 432,000 solar years). Manvantara equals 71 Mahayugas (306,720,000 solar years). Kalpa (day of Brahma) equals an Adi Sandhya, 14 Manvantaras, and 14 Sandhya Kalas, where 1st Manvantara preceded by Adi Sandhya and each Manvantara followed by Sandhya Kala, each Sandhya lasting same duration as Satya yuga (1,728,000 solar years), during which the entire earth is submerged in water. Day of Brahma equals 1,000 Mahayugas, the same length for a night of Brahma (Bhagavad-gita 8.17). Brahma lifespan (311.04 trillion solar years) equals 100 360-day years, each 12 months. Parardha is 50 Brahma years and we are in the 2nd half of his life. After 100 years of Brahma, the universe starts with a new Brahma. We are currently in the 28th Kali yuga of the first day of the 51st year of the second Parardha in the reign of the 7th (Vaivasvata) Manu. This is the 51st year of the present Brahma and so about 155 trillion years have elapsed. The current Kali Yuga (Iron Age) began at midnight on 17/18 February 3102 BC in the proleptic Julian calendar.
