Kalyug
Kalyug, often referred to as the Dark Age in Hindu tradition, is considered the fourth and final epoch in the cosmic cycle. It symbolizes a period characterized by moral decline, increasing materialism, and spiritual erosion, where virtues like truth, compassion, and righteousness diminish. During Kalyug, societal values deteriorate, and life becomes more challenging spiritually and ethically. It is viewed as a time of struggle, but also as an opportunity for individuals to overcome adversity and strive for spiritual growth amidst chaos. This epoch emphasizes the importance of inner righteousness and devotion as pathways to transcendence.
