The four Yugas also known as four ages. According to Hindu scriptures and mythology, the current universe is destined to pass through four great periods, each of which is a complete cycle of cosmic creation and destruction. Hindu mythology deals with numbers large enough to be nearly impossible to imagine. Each yuga is progressively shorter than the preceding one, corresponding to a decline in the moral and physical state of humanity, and because the process of creation is cyclical and never-ending, it "begins to end and ends to begin."
