Four Yuga
Each yuga is an age with specific characteristics in which incarnations of Krsna appear. The four yugas make up a cycle called divya-yuga, which lasts 4,320,000 years. One thousand of these yugas equal one day of Brahma, which is called a kalpa. Brahma's lifespan is 100 years of his time. In each yuga there is a specific process of self-realization (yuga dharma).
SATYA YUGA
(sometimes also called krta-yuga): the golden age lasts 1,728,000 years. The process of self-realization in this yuga is meditation on Visnu. During this yuga the majority of the population is situated in the mode of goodness and the average life span at the beginning of the yuga is 100,000 years.
TRETA YUGA
also called the silver age, lasts 1,296,000 years and the process of self realization is the performance of opulent yajnas(sacrifices). The average life span is 10,000 years and the godly qualities decrease one fourth compared to the Satya yuga.It is during this age that Varna-asrama-dharma is introduced.
DVAPARA YUGA
or the bronze age, lasts 864,000 years and the process of self realization is the worship of the deities within temples. Godly qualities are reduced to 50% by now and the average life expectancy is only 1000 years.
KALI YUGA
the iron age of hypocrisy and quarrel lasts 432,000 years. Lord Krsna appeared in His original, trancendental form right before the beginning of Kali Yuga. The process of self realization is sankirtana, the chanting of the Holy Names of the Lord. God consciousness is reduced to 25% of the population and life expectancy is only 100 years. By now already 5000 years of Kali yuga have passed and it is predicted that by the end of the yuga people will hardly be older than 20 years and their only food will be meat.
The yuga cycles are constantly changing and the phases between them are called yuga sandhyas

Take a Hard Look
It doesn't hurt to take a hard look at yourself from time to time.
This little test should get you started.
During a visit to the mental hospital, a visitor asked the Director what is the criterion used to determine if a patient should beinstitutionalized.
"Well," said the Director, "We fill up a bathtub, then we offer a teaspoon, a teacup and a bucket to the patient and ask him/her to empty the bathtub".
OK, here's your test.
1. Would you use the teaspoon?
2. Would you use the teacup?
3. Would you use the bucket?
Make your decision before you continue..
?
?
"Oh, I understand" said the visitor. "A normal person would use the
bucket because it's bigger than the spoon or teacup".
"No" said the Director, "A normal person would pull the plug"!
Now tell me, which room you prefer General or Single?

A young woman who was worried about her habit of biting her fingernails down to the quick was advised by a friend to take up yoga to ease her nervousness. She did, and soon her fingernails were growing normally.
One day her friend stopped her and noticing her long, groomed nails -- asked her if yoga had totally cured her nervousness.
"No," she replied, "but now I can reach my toe-nails so I bite them instead."

And left a thousand memories.
Somebody became mine,
And left me the waiting.
Somebody is far from me today,
But very close to my heart.

And the night of loneliness begins.
Somebody got close to me,
And my life completely changed.
Somebody left me to the bitter seasons,
And left me the memories of spring.
Somebody made promises to me,
And left me with a broken heart.
