Kali Yuga (
Devanāgarī: , lit. "Age of
Kali", "age of vice"), is one of the four stages of development that the world goes through as part of the cycle of
Yugas, as described in Hindu scriptures, the others being
Satya Yuga,
Treta Yuga and
Dvapara Yuga. According to the
Surya Siddhanta, an astronomical treatise that forms the basis of all
Hindu and
Buddhist calendars, Kali Yuga began at midnight (00:00) on
18 February 3102 BCE in the proleptic
Julian calendar or
23 January 3102 BCE in the proleptic
Gregorian calendar, which is also considered by many Hindus to be the time that god
Krishna died as a result of a freak bow hunting accident. The Kali Yuga is traditionally thought to last 432,000 years. Kali Yuga is also recognized and stated in
Sikhism, in the
Guru Granth Sahib.
