| | Dwapar Yuga is the third out of four yugas, or ages, in the religion of Hinduism. | | | The Satya Yuga, also called Sat Yuga, in Hinduism is the Yuga (Age or Era) of Truth, when humankind is governed by gods, and every manifestation or work is close to the purest ideal. | | | The Vedas are part of the Hindu Shruti; these religious scriptures form part of the core of the Brahminical and Vedic traditions within Hinduism and are the inspirational, metaphysical and mythological foundation for later Vedanta, Yoga, Tantra and even Bhakti forms of Hinduism. |
