let’s discuss about the 4 Yugas in Hinduism and their importance.
The first Yuga is termed as ‘Satya Yuga’ or ‘Krita Yuga’. It is considered to be the best Yuga or world age.
The word ‘Satya’ when translated into English, means ‘truth ‘. That’s the reason this age was referred to as the age of truth and truthfulness.
The second Yuga is ‘Treta Yuga’ which started after the fall of Satya Yuga or the Age of Truthfulness.
The Dharma stood on three legs in this Yuga. As the golden age had passed there were some visible flaws in the world.
Dvapara Yuga is the 3rd Yuga which arrived after the falling of Treta Yuga. This Yuga lasted for 864,000 years which accounts for 2,400 divine years.
In this Yuga the Dharma only stands on its 2 legs (two pillars) which will later be on a single leg in the last and current ‘Yuga of Kali Yuga’.
‘Kali Yuga’ is the fourth and last Yuga (according to the Hindu texts and scriptures). This Yuga is said to be the worst Yuga out of the four Yugas.
It is the most dark & evil Yuga where darkness & evil will take over humanity. In this phase humanity and morality will reach its lowest point.
