ਯੁੱਗ

ਇੱਕ ਯੁੱਗ, ਹਿੰਦੂ ਧਰਮ ਵਿੱਚ, ਆਮ ਤੌਰ 'ਤੇ ਸਮੇਂ ਦੀ ਉਮਰ ਨੂੰ ਦਰਸਾਉਣ ਲਈ ਵਰਤਿਆ ਜਾਂਦਾ ਹੈ।^[1]^[2]

ਰਿਗਵੇਦ ਵਿੱਚ, ਇੱਕ ਯੁੱਗ ਪੀੜ੍ਹੀਆਂ, ਇੱਕ ਲੰਮੀ ਮਿਆਦ, ਇੱਕ ਬਹੁਤ ਹੀ ਸੰਖੇਪ ਅਵਧੀ, ਜਾਂ ਇੱਕ ਪੰਜਾਲੀ (ਦੋ ਚੀਜ਼ਾਂ ਦਾ ਜੁੜਨਾ) ਨੂੰ ਦਰਸਾਉਂਦਾ ਹੈ।^[3] ਮਹਾਂਭਾਰਤ ਵਿੱਚ, ਯੁੱਗ ਅਤੇ ਕਲਪ (ਬ੍ਰਹਮਾ ਦਾ ਇੱਕ ਦਿਨ) ਸ਼ਬਦ ਰਚਨਾ ਅਤੇ ਵਿਨਾਸ਼ ਦੇ ਚੱਕਰ ਦਾ ਵਰਣਨ ਕਰਨ ਲਈ ਇੱਕ ਦੂਜੇ ਦੇ ਬਦਲੇ ਵਰਤੇ ਗਏ ਹਨ।^[4]

"ਯੁੱਗ" ਨਾਮ ਆਮ ਤੌਰ 'ਤੇ ਕਟੂਰ-ਯੁੱਗ (ਉਚਾਰਿਆ ਚਤੁਰ ਯੁੱਗ) ਨੂੰ ਦਰਸਾਉਂਦੇ ਹਨ, ਚਾਰ ਵਿਸ਼ਵ ਯੁੱਗਾਂ ਦਾ ਇੱਕ ਚੱਕਰ, ਉਦਾਹਰਨ ਲਈ, ਸੂਰਯ ਸਿਧਾਂਤ ਅਤੇ ਭਗਵਦ ਗੀਤਾ (ਮਹਾਭਾਰਤ ਦਾ ਹਿੱਸਾ) ਵਿੱਚ, ਜਦੋਂ ਤੱਕ ਕਿ ਸਪਸ਼ਟ ਤੌਰ 'ਤੇ ਸੀਮਿਤ ਨਾ ਹੋਵੇ। ਇਸ ਦੇ ਨਾਬਾਲਗ ਯੁੱਗਾਂ ਵਿੱਚੋਂ ਇੱਕ ਦਾ ਨਾਮ: ਕ੍ਰਿਤਾ (ਸਤਿਆ) ਯੁੱਗ, ਤ੍ਰੇਤਾ ਯੁੱਗ, ਦਵਾਪਰ ਯੁੱਗ, ਜਾਂ ਕਲਿਯੁੱਗ।^[1]^[5]^{[lower-alpha 1]}
