The Four Yugas - The universe cycles through four major periods, or yugas, during the lifetime of the Creator, Lord Brahma. Brahma lives for a very long time when measured in years as we experience them. During His lifetime he creates a new universe each “morning” and sends his family of jîvas forth to play. Every night Brahma calls the jîvas back into His vast body as Saraswatî, His S’akti, becomes exhausted and His universe dissolves. He rests to restore His S’akti, then repeats the same cycle of creation. Thus pass the days and nights in the life of Brahma.
