The four great eras in Sanatan Dharma are Satya Yug, Treta Yug, Dwapar Yuga, and Kali Yuga. Satya Yuga or the Age of Truth lasts for 4800 divine years, Treta Yuga for 3,600, Dwapara Yug for 2400, and Kali Yuga will last for 1200 divine years a divine year equalling 360 
earthly years. Sanatan tradition holds three of these great ages of this current universe that have already passed away, and we are now living in the fourth yuga the Kali. It is quite hard to look at the meaning of huge quantities of time expressed, the numbers are quite huge.
There are different theories about the meaning of these measurements of time. The four yuga ages may showcase the four phases of evolution during that humans gradually lose awareness of their inner selves and subtle bodies. Sanatan dharma believes that humans have five kinds
of koshas, known as annamaya kosha, pranamaya kosha, manomaya kosha, vignanamaya kosha, and anandamaya kosha meaning food, energy, mind, knowledge, and bliss. Another theory says that these eras of time represent degrees of loss of right doing in the world. This theory suggests
that during Satya Yuga, only truth prevailed (Sanskrit Satya = truth). During the Treta Yug, the universe lost one-fourth of the truth, Dwapar lost one-half of the truth, and now the Kali Yug is left with only one-fourth of the truth.
Evilness and dishonesty have therefore replaced truth gradually in the last three ages.
