Kali Yuga

Kali

Hinduism

One Kalpa, a day in the Mind of God, is made up of four cycles (aka yugas) and/or ages known as the:

The Age of Wisdom/ Satya or Krita Yuga
The Age of Ritual/Treta Yuga
The Age of Doubt/ Dvapara Yuga
The Age of Conflict/ Kali Yuga

The Age of Kali for the Hindu is the natural ending of the world in the fourth age . It is one of a series of changes, each of which marks the end of one cycle and the beginning of another creation. The central figure in the story is Vishnu, the preserver God, into whose self the world is absorbed before being born again. According to the Hinduism beliefs, Vishnu has already saved humanity on a number of occasions, symbolically appearing as a savior in many different forms. Vishnu incarnates in ten avatars, of which there have been nine, the last three have been: Rama,  Khishna and Buddha. It is said that he will appear again , as Kalki 'the avenger', riding a white horse , destined to destroy the present world, the corrupt age of the goddess Kali,  and to take humanity to a different, higher plane, the golden age of Krita.
