About this ebook
According to Vedic philosophy, there are four eras in every world cycle. They represent a gradual decline from enlightenment (Satya Yuga) to chaos and ignorance (Kali Yuga) before it starts again. Each of these eras lasts roughly 2160 years.
You're probably familiar with the four ages of Hindu philosophy: Satya Yuga, Treta Yuga, Dwapara Yuga, and Kali Yuga. The golden age is when pure knowledge is widespread, and people live in harmony. The dark age is when everything goes wrong—the World falls into chaos, and humanity descends into ignorance. But what happens next?
What is the meaning of "the end of the world"?
There are many ways to interpret this question—which makes it so interesting!
We're living in the Kali Yuga right now - the era of chaos and disorder. This means our society is falling apart, but we can bring back the Golden Age by understanding our personal roles in society.
The Kali Yuga is the present age of man. We are in the age of darkness, ignorance, and chaos. The Kali Yuga was prophesied to be when humanity would live without spiritual knowledge or enlightenment. It's an era of materialism, greed, and violence (including war).
But we can bring back the Golden Age by understanding our own personal role in society and doing what we can to restore order to our World today.
The Golden Age is when humans live in harmony with nature. It's also known as Satya Yuga or Krita Yuga, or Utopian Age because everything works as it should be working - there are no problems or challenges that need fixing because everything works perfectly well already...

Introduction
According to Vedic philosophy, there are four eras in every world cycle. They represent a gradual decline from enlightenment (Satya Yuga) to chaos and ignorance (Kali Yuga) before it starts again. Each of these eras lasts roughly 2160 years.
You're probably familiar with the four ages of Hindu philosophy: Satya Yuga, Treta Yuga, Dwapara Yuga, and Kali Yuga. The golden age is when pure knowledge is widespread, and people live in harmony. The dark age is when everything goes wrong—the World falls into chaos, and humanity descends into ignorance. But what happens next?

We're living in the Kali Yuga right now - the era of chaos and disorder. This means our society is falling apart, but we can bring back the Golden Age by understanding our personal roles in society.
The Kali Yuga is the present age of man. We are in the age of darkness, ignorance, and chaos. The Kali Yuga was prophesied to be when humanity would live without spiritual knowledge or enlightenment. It's an era of materialism, greed, and violence (including war).
But we can bring back the Golden Age by understanding our own personal role in society and doing what we can to restore order to our World:today'sage

Satya Yuga is the name people give to this period. This era was said to last for more than 4,000 years in Hindu mythology.
It is abundantly clear that even when one considers the cultured, educated, and modernized nature of the developed world in the last century, the realm of religion and spirituality is dominated by terrible ignorance and fanaticism.
Materialistic people tend to be. However, we are not generally willing to admit this. Our psychology and entire lives revolve around the material, sensual World. We hang our activities on whether they will affect the corporeal World or how others perceive them, as that is the basis or center of gravity that most of us hang our activities on. Therefore, if we have nothing else, materialism is the only thing upon which we can base our actions.
Therefore, we are materialists from a practical point of view, not from a philosophical or ideological one. Few people take the time to think about who they really are, so they won't admit it. We boast so much about our self-awareness, but we do so in a materialistic way: we are only aware of our physical appearance. From a psychological perspective, however, we are very similar to dogs, which have no concept of what they are seeing when gazing into a mirror. That is, we are not aware of our identity. We are incapable of expressing our very own mental image!
Incredibly, in most cases, this crucial fact is ignored out of boredom or, even worse, outright denial. Some people consider themselves wise even though they are mistaken. In this case, it would seem that we don't even know that we don't know anything about ourselves, which some call complex ignorance. Things would be better if we, as a culture, at least knew how ignorant we are if we were only innocent, but this isn't true.
Something is lacking in today's individual. There is a certain level of complacency and indifference when it comes to matters of life and death. Over thousands of years, philosophers and charlatans have overstuffed men's minds with too many ideas and tricks, causing mystical indigestion. A learned one says, There is nothing new to speculate on, all metaphysical theories have been disproved, and all the leaders of sacrosanct religions are nothing more than mythomaniacs.
How about the uninitiated? The elders and scribes of society have conditioned them to think, act, and believe as they do. So, we have fallen into the abyss because blind people follow blind people.
There is nothing false or deceptive about the teachings of Gnosis in this book. The nomenclature used herein will exceed the usual Aramaic and Greek and introduce the reader to Sanskrit, Nahuatl, and Tibetan without fear of creating confusion amongst the learned. Those who consider themselves known in these matters may be offended by this. Scribes
and elders
are not actually knowledgeable about Gnosis and thus have a false conception. In the academic study of Gnosticism, historical, empirical, and forensic analyses of ancient documents form the basis of their associations with Gnosis.
Academics are simply doing their jobs, but it is said to be informed by academics for someone who claims to be gnostic. However, this is the case because, as stated in this book, today's intelligentsia is seen by the layman as the new priestly caste. Therefore, although Gnosis cannot be fully understood by studying the above avenues, this has become the basis for most people's understanding of Gnosis.

Hinduism originated in India and is one of the dominant religions in that country, but it has significant comparisons to the old gnostic religion of the middle east.
Hinduism, as it is now known, originated in India about 1500 BCE and is one of the dominant religions in that country. It is also the World's oldest religion and has only recently become popular outside Asia. Hinduism can be found worldwide, including in Nepal and the Indian
