In the Vedas, it is stated there are four ages that  constantly turn in cyclic movement , whilst the 311 trillion years of Bramha’s life is being lived out ,  its interesting to note so far , approximately half has of his life has  passed.

Parts of the universe  partially close down, during the Bramha’s rest periods,  and its calculated   every  approximately 4.5 billion years  pass by , where the lower and parts of the middle planetary systems are rested before being  “rebooted.”

Treta, Satya ,Dvarpa, and Kali are the names of the time periods that operate in cyclic cycles.

Satya yuga lasts approx 1.8 million years

Treta yuga lasts approx 1.3 million years

Dvarpa yuga lasts approx 900,000 years

Kali yuga lasts approx 432.000 years .

Each  particular age has specific qualities of consciousness,  this  current age of Kali,  is symptomised , as the Vedas have  predicted by  quarrel and hypocrisy, and the degradation of consciousness towards animal type  consciousness,  the only real interests  of the vast majority of humanity is eating ,sleeping  sex and snatching and defending territories , the majority of people are Darwinians who think and act like sophisticated animals,  thinking….one life , death ,finished .

One of the  main tools  of Kali  perhaps ,  is current social media,  where just about anything goes , practically no legislation  is present,  with many  unforeseen future consequences for a younger generation , although governments make noises of concerns,  but leave it at that .

Theological sciences and good morals are falling by the wayside, and  instead, scientific materialism becomes the ” religion ” of faith , preached in universities and schools worldwide. Darker elements and dubious persons both within governments and in a myriad of other prominent and influential places , inflict disorder and uncertainty in people’s lives , creating havoc and poverty worldwide.

A glimmer of hope, though. The Vedas predict a golden age in Kali. A short burst of the most auspicious happenings , and that age is in its beginnings , and it began, at the time of the appearance of Caitanya Mahāprabhu, so desperate times but , as well , a gradual building of knowledge and awareness,  giving people the ability to discriminate between truth and lies .
