Four Ages of Hinduism
According to the Vedas, four yugas have been mentioned in Hinduism namely Satyuga, Tretayuga, Dwaparayuga and Kaliyuga. In this Satyug is about 17 lakh 28 thousand years old, Tretayug 12 lakh 96 thousand years old, Dwaparayug 8 lakh 64 thousand years old and Kaliyug is said to be 4 lakh 32 thousand years old. Lord Rama’s time was of Tretayuga and Shri Krishna was born in Dwaparayuga. Presently Kali Yuga is going on.
How much time is left in Kali Yuga?
According to scholars, only a few thousand years have passed in the 4 lakh 32 thousand human years of Kali Yuga. If the modern calculation of Kali Yuga time is done, then it started in 3,120 BC. When the five planets Mars, Mercury, Venus, Jupiter and Saturn were at 0 degree on Aries.
According to this, till now 3102+2023=5125 years of Kali Yuga have passed. In this way, after subtracting 5,125 from 4,32,000 years of Kali Yuga, 4,26,875 years remain. That is, 4,26,875 years are left for the end of Kali Yuga. The present time is called the first phase of Kali Yuga.
How will Kaliyug be?
In the scriptures things like extinction of religion, increase of evils and misdeeds etc. have been described in Kaliyuga. In this era, only man is the best among all the creatures on the earth and there are no gods, demons, yakshas or gandharvas. In this era, those who do good deeds are considered as gods and evil and sinful are compared to demons. Maharishi Ved Vyas ji had predicted about Kali Yuga in Mahabharata that, in this era, there will be no varna and ashram related tendencies in humans and there will be no followers of Vedas. Even people will not consider gotra, caste and religion for marriage. The disciple will not be under the Guru. As the time of Kaliyug will pass, the terrible Kaliyug will come.
Vishnu will take Kalki avatar in Kali Yuga
Whenever incest, misconduct and atrocities have increased in the world, Lord Vishnu has incarnated to end it and save the world. Ten incarnations of Lord Vishnu are told, in which Kalki is the tenth and last incarnation.
When the terror of sin will reach its peak in Kaliyuga, then Lord Vishnu will take the form of Kalki. In this incarnation, he will be born on the fifth day of Shuklapaksha of the month of Savan at a place named Sambhal and in the house of a person named Vishnuyasha. In this incarnation, he would destroy the sinners by riding on the Devadatta horse and once again fear and terror would end in the world and the Golden Age would be established. Although thousands of years are still left in Kalki Avatar. But Lord Vishnu is still worshiped in the form of Kalki among the people.
