Kalki: End of Kali Yuga - So when will this take place?

[Guest guest]

According to the Surya Siddhanta, an astronomical treatise that forms the basis

of all Hindu and Buddhist calendars, Kali Yuga began at midnight (00:00) on 18

February 3102 BCE in the proleptic Julian calendar or 23 January 3102 BCE in the

proleptic Gregorian calendar, which is also considered by many Hindus to be the

time that god Krishna ascended as a result of a freak bow hunting accident. The

Kali Yuga is traditionally thought to last 432,000 years. Y/s, Richard
