Yuga

Yuga in Hinduism is an epoch or era within a four age cycle. A complete Yuga starts with the Satya Yuga, via Treta Yuga and Dvapara Yuga into a Kali Yuga. Our present time is a Kali Yuga, which started at 3102 BCE with the end of the Mahabharata war. However, eminent scholars such as Swami Sri Yukteswar, Yogananda's guru, among others, have disputed this calling it a miscalculation and that we are living in "Kali Yuga" as per the Vedas
