DWAPARA
The Electrical or Atomic age lasts for a total period of 2,400 years of the Daiva Yuga. This is the period when human intellect can comprehend the fine matter and subtle forces and their attributes, characterized by electrical and atomic-energy developments: the age of telegraphy, radio, airplanes, and other space-annihilators. In the descending period, moving away from the spiritual age, there is less material development than in the ascending age where the materialistic influence is still strong. The ties to the prior cycle are slow to change. Thus, at the beginning of the ascending Bronze age, man is still very materially oriented but beginning to discover subtle particles and forces and understand more about energy on both a human and worldly level. It is a very exciting time of discovery, but the biggest revelation will be the realization that our bodies are simply vehicles made of subtle energies operating in a very real matrix of energy and ideas.
THE IRON AGE
KALI
Referred to as the dark and materialistic age, Kali Yuga lasts for a period of 1,200 years in the half cycle. In this age, human intellect is unable to comprehend anything beyond the gross material world that we live in. The descending Iron age lasted from about 702BC to 499AD (a period of great destruction) and the ascending dark age ended around 1699AD. Similar to the seasons, these ages do not stop and start abruptly, but after a few hundred years, the difference in ages can be well identified.
