🔄 What Happens After a Mahayuga?
A Mahayuga consists of the four Yugas:
- Satya Yuga
- Treta Yuga
- Dvapara Yuga
- Kali Yuga (current age)
After Kali Yuga ends:
- The world reaches peak chaos and moral decay
- Kalki Avatar (Vishnu's final incarnation) appears to destroy evil
- The world is spiritually and environmentally cleansed
- A new Satya Yuga begins, and the cycle restarts
🌊 What Happens After a Kalpa?
One Kalpa is equal to 1 day of Brahma = 4.32 billion years.
At the end of a Kalpa:
- The entire universe undergoes a Maha-pralaya (great cosmic dissolution)
- The universe rests in an unmanifest state during Brahma's night (also 4.32 billion years)
- At dawn, creation begins anew — a new Kalpa starts
