Has anyone else looked into Bibhu Dev Misra’s research on the Yuga Cycle? He posits that the Kali Yuga actually ends in 2025, not hundreds of thousands of years from now. If he’s right, we are currently living through the “Great Reset” of a 3,000-year cycle that began in 976 BCE.

The theory hinges on a massive “computational error” by later Sanskrit commentators who inflated the original 12,000-year cycle into 4,320,000 years by introducing a “divine year” multiplier of 360. Misra points back to the Mahabharata and the Sapta-Rishi (Seven Sages) calendar to show that the ages are actually much shorter and track with the Precession of the Equinoxes.

The most fascinating part is the math. The traditional 432,000-year figure and Misra’s 3,000-year cycle are linked by the number 144 (432,000 / 3,000 = 144). In sacred geometry and harmonics, 144 is a “fundamental constant” or fractal bridge. It allows a massive cosmic cycle to be reflected perfectly in a smaller, human-scale timeline. This 144-ratio suggests we are experiencing a “harmonic reboot” where the old system clock hits zero and rolls over.

According to this model, 2025 starts a 300-year transition: the “Twilight of Kali” (collapse of old structures) followed by the “Dawn of Dwapara” (the rise of a more spiritually and technologically advanced age). We aren’t at the beginning of the end; we’re at the end of the beginning.

Yes! This is how I track the yugas. By my understanding, Kali finished transitioning out at 1700 (note all the revolutions that occurred during this century), which was followed by a 200 year transition into dwapara, which we entered fully in 1900. This is the age of energy, and you can see the evidence with a huge technical revolution as well as a spiritual awakening that is steadily gaining momentum.

This is a really short article I did, but you can check the image on here for timescales. I recently made a much more in depth version that will go into a publication.

If you want a really long explanation of this time scale, I recommend The Yugas by Joseph Selbie, which is where I originally discovered this timeline from.

Thank you for sharing that post! It’s definitely interesting. The challenge is trying to line up the time frames, especially because a transition is more like a gradient than a hard line. Thank you for sharing. I subscribed to your Substack to read more! 🪷

It is definitely a gradient, thanks for subscribing

That timeframe never really made sense to me. I googled it and it said over 4 million years and then I found this site, is this more like what you are talking about? https://www.vedanet.com/keys-to-the-yugas-or-cycles-of-the-ages-subyugas-in-the-sri-yukteswar-yuga-cycle/

MaddieXO, the site I was reading was https://www.bibhudevmisra.com/2012/07/end-of-kali-yuga-in-2025-unraveling.html?m=1

The one you cited seems to agree with the premise that the cycles were overstated. But your article primarily focuses on breaking down the yugas into smaller cycles, which proposes some very interesting correlations. Thank you for sharing!
