The following is the time span of yugas. Now we are in kaliyuga.
Will these yugas repeat?
If the same yugas repeat, then what about the incidents happening in the universe? Will they also repeat? E.g., I'm typing this question now; will it occur again in the next kaliyuga or a different yuga? Will new incidents also happen?
If yugas do not repeat, then what will happen after kaliyuga?
The four yugas you listed, join to be called as Mahayuga or Chaturyuga. Every cycle(Mahayuga) has different happenings all together, its not clear whether each cycle(Mahayuga) will have same incidents. There are some marked incidents which have to happen, like the incarnation of Lord Vishnu, they are sure to happen in every yuga and in the same form, the difference will be circumstances.
For example, Lord Raam will come in every Tretayuga, the Ramayana which we read is of this Mahayuga, but we don't know what had happened in previous Mahayuga.
Kakabhushundi, gave a reference by telling he saw Lord Rama 11 times on earth and every time different things happened.
Yoga Vashishtha, the text which states conversations between Vashistha, a rig vedic teacher, and various Gods and Kakbhushubdi, a creature which stands outside of normal time and sees all. It recounts the cyclical nature of time, where Kakabhushundi has seen Ramayan 11 times with different outcomes and seen Mahabharat 16 times with different results, but, after seeing Daksha Yagya twice, he did not either care to see it again or saw no point to seeing any more, as it ended the same way each time.
If we keep away linearity and think about Heisenberg's uncertainity principle we get
Further conversations talk about the atoms or anu at quantam level and inside each quantam level are different universes. A sorrowful queen is shown that her husband is still alive in one of the quantam or atomic universes and ruling wisely and is given the option to join him there. The idea of Heisenberg's Principle is enunciated when a rishi visits and illustrates a decision tree by showing how several parallel universes, with all possible results of a decision, could occur and uses that illustration to explain why he took the decision he did in this universe.
So after Kaliyug there will be definite Satyug to come.
Concept of Time. According to hinduism, Time is like a helix, it moves circularly and in one direction, that means major incidents have to happen, like incarnation of Vishnu (not of Shiva, Shiva incarnation depend on cirumstances), but otherwise nothing will repeat.
More References :
According to my understanding the all 4 Yugam will be repeated for 1000 times , that will form 1 kalpa, one day of Brahama will end ,and after 360x100 Kalpa (100 years) that is mahakalpa one Life of brahma will end.
In 1 kalpa that is 4000 yugas or 1000 cycle of 4 yuga, the yugs are repeated, one cycle is known as mahayuga.
We are currently in 28th mahayuga .
Brahma is 51 years old means 49 years are left before his life to end.
Ramayana take place in 24th tretayuga of one kalpa. Mahabharata take place in 28th dwaparayuga of one kalpa.
For Reference see this answer by Keshav Did the Mahabharata and the Ramayana happen in the current Yuga cycle in the current Manvantara?
The collection of all four yugas is called a Chaturyuga. One day of Lord Brahma consists of 1000 such Chaturyugas. This time is called "Kalpa". During this time 14 Manus come and go. Each Manu is created by Lord Brahma Himself, who assigns the Manu with the task of continuing the process of creation by creating generations of mankind called 'Manvantara'. One Manvantara is approximately 71 Chaturyugas. After the Manvantara, Lord Brahma creates another Manu, to carry on the process of creation and procreation. In this new Manvantara, Lord Vishnu takes on a new form, and a new Indra and new Saptarishis are appointed. The current form of Vishnu is the famous four-armed figure having a discus, a lotus, a conch and a mace in each hand. The current Indra is Purandar. The current Saptarishis are Kashyapa, Atri, Vashista, Vishvamitra, Gautama, Jamadagni and Bharadvaja. Later on I will tabulate the other Saptarishis in all the 14 Manvantaras of this present Day of Brahma or the present Kalpa (1000-Chaturyuga-period).
After 1000 Chaturyugas have passed, Brahma's Day is over, which leads to Brahma's Night. During this time, there is no creation as Lord Brahma takes rest. It continues for the same amount of time as Brahma's Day. After the night is over, Brahma commences a fresh creation. The night of Brahma starts with 'Pralaya' (annihilation) and ends with 'Srishti' (creation/manifestation).
=> The actual duration of a Manvantara is 71*4*1000 years, with some additional years, which sum upto 8,52,000 divine years; or 30,67,20,000 human years.
=> 14 times this number constitues a day of Brahma, as there are 14 Manvantaras in one Brahma's Day.
=> Overall, 4,320,000 years termed as 1 Chaturyuga.
=> 1 day of Brahma constitutes 1000 Chaturyugas (= 4,320,000,000 years).
=> Thus 1 year constitutes 360*4,320,000,000 = 1,555,200,000,000 years. Brahma lives for 100 Brahma years.
=> Hence the lifespan of Brahma is 100 years = 100*1,555,200,000,000 = 155,520,000,000,000 years
The following table will clearly link our time-scale to that of Lord Brahma's -
365*(1/4) human days = 1 Deva Ahoratra (1 day + 1 night)
360 Deva Ahoratras = 1 Deva Vatsara
12,000 Deva Vatsaras = 1 Chaturyuga **
71 Chaturyugas = 1 Manvantara
14 Manvantaras = 1 Kalpa
2 Kalpas = 1 Day of Brahma + 1 Night of Brahma
360 Days of Brahma = 1 Brahma Varsha
Brahma's life span is 100 Brahma Varshas, as we know.
I studied about cocept of kalpa concept.but it is more projected for any human one life is one kalpa.because all this concept healing a man to make good awakening for understand entire universe and quantom physics.
Our body is main base to understand about it. actually no meaning to longing time as apart from our mind and body whatever there is time lesser or more.Infact human body is very mesterious itself.
All the scientific time concept and vedic concept if we make base our body and mind over than it is clear that to know all these fact.we are taking very short period life even not bramha life time but surya one year galaxy round than also it will pass near to four yug of human life one year.
But if we go to moon 36 days pass than only here is only one day.if we go to than inner quatasize we became ourself one bhrama on their lifeone circle rotataion.so it is too vast to analysis about time whether it is or not.human conciousness comes on one tik time obesrbation who should ego has to leave to ionized himself.in this without condition man realize it outo system on vibration of throughout strings to universe.
