The cycle of yugas

Hare Krishna, dear devotees!! All glories to Srila Prabhupada !

It has been mentioned in the scriptures that after Lord descends as Kalki and slays all atheists, the Golden Age of Satya Yuga will once more begin. My questions are---

1) Will there be only Satya Yuga after this or rest three yugas will follow??

2) Will the same incarnations of Lord like Matsya, Varaha, Nrisimha or Rama  come or some other incarnations as it has been mentioned in Bhagavatam that Krishna's incarnations are infinite??  Supposing, in the treta yuga of the next cycle, a different incarnation of Lord descends. Will the people then glorify that particular incarnation instead of Lord Ram who had appeared in this treta yuga ??

3) Will again Vyasdeva rewrite the Vedic scriptures, considering the degraded condition of men in Kali yuga??

4) Will Krishna reveal the secret message of Gita to Arjun or any other of His favourite devotees ?

5) In the Kali yuga of next cycle, will again Lord Kalki appear to punish the atheists ?

5) How long will the cycle of these four yugas continue and when there will be total annihilation when Krishna alone and the spiritual world will exist, not even the demigods?

  • -Duration, characteristics and order of yugas are constant for every cycles.

    -The Lord past times in every cycles of catur yugas are different, but principles are the same.

    -The universe is cyclically created and destroyed in the timespan of 311.04 trillion years, one life time of Sri Brahma.

    The duration of one day in the life of Brahma is calculated in solar years as being 4,300,000 x 1,000 years, or 4,300,000,000 years. Brahma's one day consists of one thousand cycles of the four yugas: Satya, Treta, Dvapara and Kali. The four yugas constitute one millennium.


    In one day of Brahma there are fourteen manvantaras. Each Manu lives for seventy-two yugas, each consisting of some 4,320,000 years. The life-span of one Manu is called a manvantara.

    Fourteen Manus (1000 maha-yugas) pass during Brahma's day
    There are 420 Manus in one month of Brahma
    There are 5,040 Manus in one year of Brahma
    Brahma lives for one hundred years of his age
    There are 504,000 Manus in the duration of Brahma's life



    This is the calculation for one universe, and there are innumerable universes. All these Manus come and go simply by the breathing process of Maha-Visnu. Since there are innumerable universes, no one can imagine the totality of the manvantara incarnations. Because all the universes are produced simultaneously by the exhalation of the Maha-Visnu, no one can begin to calculate how many Manus are manifest at one time. Each Manu, however, is called by a different name.


    After the end of Brahma's night, the cycle of creation begins again in the daytime of Brahma, and they continue to exist through the life durations of fourteen consecutive Manus. At the end of each Manu there is devastation of the earthly planets, and the vast water is fearful even to Brahma. And, at the end of the life of each Manu there are shorter dissolutions.


    The manvantara incarnation chastises all the miscreant rulers of different planets and disseminates the transcendental glories of the Lord. Manu creates scriptural regulations for the salvation of the conditioned souls, who come to the material world for material enjoyment. The Lord is so kind that any soul who wants to enjoy in this material world is given full facility for enjoyment, and at the same time he is shown the path of salvation. The Manus compiled the Manu-samhita. The word samhita means Vedic knowledge, and manu indicates that this knowledge is given by Manu.


    From the beginning of Brahma's day of 4,320,000,000 years, six Manus appear and disappear before Lord Krsna appears. Thus 1,975,320,000 years of the day of Brahma elapse before the appearance of Lord Krsna. This is an astronomical calculation according to solar years.
