About  Dashavatar  (2009)


The concept of Dashavatar (Ten Avatars) has tremendous significance
even in today's jet age. Evil has been present at all stages in the
evolution of mankind and the Dashavatar in a way brings out this
evolution through the triumph of good over evil.
The most famous of
the divine incarnations of Lord Vishnu are Rama, whose life is depicted
in the Ramayana, and Krishna, whose life is depicted in the Mahabharata
and the Bhagavad Gita.
The four great era or epochs in Hinduism are:
Satya Yug, Treta Yug, Dwapar Yug and Kali Yug. Satya Yug or the Age of
Truth is said to last for four thousand divine years, Treta Yug for
three thousand, Dwapara Yug for two thousand and Kali Yug will last for
one thousand divine years. It is also believed that three of these
great ages have already passed, and we are now living in the fourth
one. The four ages are said to symbolize the four phases of human
evolution during which man gradually lost the awareness of his inner
self. Another theory explains these epochs of time on the basis of the
degree of loss of righteousness in the world. It says, during Satya Yug
only truth prevailed (Sanskrit Satya = truth), Treta lost truth,
Dwapar lost truth and Kali is left with only truth. Evil and
dishonesty has replaced truth in the last three ages or yugs.
