Guest guest Posted December 6, 2007 Report Share Posted December 6, 2007 Dear all, I have a question regarding the progression and the naming of vaious Yugas. This may seem out of context, but please reply me. The four millenniums that we know in chronological order are NAME MEANING DURATION Starts when Sun Enters….. SATYA YUGAM millennium of righteousness 48000 Celestial years ARIES TRETA YUGAM Third millennium 36000 Celestial years CANCER DVAPARA YUGAM second millennium 24000 Celestial years LIBRA KALI YUGAM millennium of adharma 12000 Celestial years CAPRICORN [Note : -(360 mortal year= 1 celestial year)] Now my question is 1)Why the name second(DVAPARA) comes third and third(TRETA) comes second in order? 2) Why the duration is not constant? 3) Why the duration is in Arithmetic progression(48,36,24,12). 4) Why it is in Descending order of progression.
