>>7808107The Kali Yuga is the Vedic term for what has been called in other traditions (Greek, Norse, Iranian) the Dark Age, or Iron Age, or Wolf Age. Traditional civilizations believed that time was cyclical, and that civilization began in a Golden Age before progressively deteriorating until it reached a sort of rock bottom, beyond which the cycle would restart and civilization would reassert itself.
It is believed that we are in the Kali Yuga or Dark Age because of prophecies that were made concerning it many thousands of years ago: "outcasts and barbarians will be masters", "[rulers] desires will be insatiable and they will display but little piety", "the prevailing caste will be the Sudras [laborers, plebeians]", "property alone will confer rank", "wealth will be the only source of devotion". "Men corrupted by unbelievers will say "Of what authority are the Vedas? What are gods or Brahmans?". "Observance of caste, order and institutes will not prevail in the Kali Age [egalitarianism, destruction of traditional social structures]". These quotes come from the Vishnu Parana.
As I mentioned above, the Black Sun represents Solar power and Regality. The Black Sun rising over the Kali Yuga signifies the end of the dark age and the reassertion of Order and Light.
