Kali-yuga, Hindu, is the fourth and final yuga of increasing disorder and distress. The world is at present in a kali-yuga, which began 3102 BC. A.G.H. Source: ...
Krishna appeared in the Sandhya between this and the Kali-yuga. Both Kurukshetra and Buddha were in the Kali age. According to this chronology, Vashishtha who was the Guru of Dasharatha was earlier than Sakyamuni.
The Greek Ages also bear a close correspondence to the four Yugas of the Hindus: Krita-Yuga, Treta-Yuga, Dvapara-Yuga, and Kali-Yuga.
