Hindu Mythology Explained (Part 2):Ramayana, Mahabharata & the Cycles of Time | Sleep While Learning

There is a prophecy written down two to three thousand years ago describing an age of unjust rulers, hollow wealth, broken families, and vanishing truth. The ancient texts called it Kali Yuga — and according to traditional calculation, we entered it more than five thousand years ago.
This is Part 2 of our most complete telling of Hindu mythology. Building on the cosmology, the Trimurti, and the gods covered in Part 1, we now walk through the two greatest epics ever produced on the Indian subcontinent — the Ramayana's war for a stolen queen, and the Mahabharata's war between cousins that killed nearly an entire generation, including the Bhagavad Gita's core teaching on duty and detachment. We trace all ten descents of Vishnu across the full sweep of cosmic history, from the flood-saving fish to the rider on the white horse who has not yet arrived. And we close with the Four Yugas themselves — and the honest answer, by the tradition's own numbers, to whether we are really living in the end times.
