Good to see you here,Duvey. The concept of Yugas is a symbolic, allegorical, figurative representation of the Cyclical nature of the Universe and the ecosystem itself. Day becomes night, Summer becomes winter, periodic ice ages come and go, even the brightness of the sun seems to occilate in cycles. Life forms grow, reproduce, die and the cycle continues for generations. Your cells eat, digest, take in energy, eliminate waste matter and the cycle continues. This cyclical aspect of Nature is represented in the Yuga concept. Don't take it literaly. As Barry points out the actual 'Kali Yuga' is just a myth. > > > > > > --- "seventhray27" <steve.sundur@> wrote: > > > > > > You got what you deserved Edg.
