This book challenges the assumption that a matured theory about the yugas and hinduism’s ages is essential to the Mahabharata. It also illustrates how modern scholars and traditional commentators have interpreted the Puranic theory of the yugas into the Mahabharata, especially when it comes down to where the action takes place at the beginning the terrible Kali Yuga. Luis Gonzalez-Reimann examines the text and early Buddhist sources to determine the meaning of key terms within the epic. This book examines the sectarian appropriation and use of the yuga system by later literature. It also documents how modern religious movements used the system to announce the coming of a new, prosperous Krta Yuga. This coincides with new age expectation.
