1 Solar Cycle(?) takes 24000 years. It has two phases, which we can call ascending and descending both of 12000 years each. Descending phase starts with Satyuga (4800) -> tretayuga (3600) -> dvaparyuga (2400) -> kaliyuga (1200), followed by ascending phase kalyuga (1200) -> dvapuryuga (2400) -> tretayuga (3600) -> satyuga (4800) and so on and so forth.I won't debate on the approximate DOB but the Yuga cycles posted here need to be understood differently.
Yugas are all of same duration. There are 2 halves in the 24,000 years durationof the Yuga cycle.
First is the ascending half of 12,000 years where each Yuga of 3000 years ends at a positive high for the other Yuga to take over.
At the end of this half civilizational virtues are at peak.
Second is descending half of another 12,000 years which is the waning phase obviously.
To go off topic would mean, each Solar Cycle follows evolution and a birth of "new" human "race".
There is a 400 years transition cycle in Satyuga, 300 in Treta, 200 in Dvapar and 100 in Kalyuga.Cross posting from - http://defenceforumindia.com/forum/religion-culture/43444-ancient-astronomy-kaliyuga.html
One of the implications from all this, is that we've already hit rock bottom between 976 B.C. and 676 B.C. and we'll be entering another transitional phase of 300 years from 2025 A.D.
Sorry if all this was too OT.
ASsuming 1699 was the year dwapar yuga started. Then 1599 onwards effects of Dwapar were seen, and till 1899 effects of Kaliyuga were seen. The peak will reach in 2899.
I have read a few of his works, I wasn't much impressed.David Frawley aka Vamadeva Shastri
He changed his name after adopting Hinduism.
I don't know why people have this urge to change names when the religion/faith or whatever is changed.
I mean you can be a Hindu and still call yourself David Frawley. No offense in that.
