The Four Yugas and Brahmajnana
It should be obvious that the life style in the four Yugas is the same as life style of people of the four Hindu Varnas.
- Krita/Satya Yuga - Brahmana Varna
- Treta Yuga - Kshatriya Varna
- D(v/w)apara Yuga - Vaishya Varna
- Kali Yuga - Shudra Varna
The Varna of a person is determined by the two attitudes, Positive and Negative,
- Brahmana Varna - Positive and Negative attitudes merge to become one and the same
- Kshatriya Varna - Positive and Negative attitudes are separate
- Vaishya Varna - There is just Positive attitude and no negative attitude
- Shudra Varna - The two attitudes are absent.
Brahmana Varna gives best quality of life and authority but can be used under ideal conditions only. All activities of life are interlinked and eternal. This forces Brahmana to be honest. Shudra Varna gives maximum freedom but least quality of life. In this Varna all activities are independent of each other and transient. The enormous flexibility makes it the ideal Varna for chaotic conditions. The Varnas were banned because Hindus tried to have both the authority of Brahmana Varna and the freedom of Shudra Varna. The Varnas were therefore, replaced with the Virtual Yugas.
