A year of a demigod would be equivalent to 360 human years. Treta Yoga lasted for 3600 years (of demigods), Dvapara Yuga lasted for 2,400 years (of demigods) while Kali Yuga lasted for 1,200 years (of demigods). Some interpretations of Srimad Bhagavatam indicates the duration of the Satya Yuga is equivalent to 4,800 years of the Demigods. Although there is a debate amongst scholars about the duration of these ages it is understood that ratio of duration of all the ages from Satya Yuga to Kali Yuga is 4:3:2:1. Each of the four Yugas involves stages of evolution. Yugas function in cyclical patterns, like the waxing and waning of the moon. There are four Yugas namely Satya Yuga (the Golden age), Treta Yuga (Silver age), Dvapara Yuga (Bronze age) and Kali Yuga (the Iron age). Yugas are cyclical time periods which separate different “ages” of human civilizations.
